Hillside Standard Poodles

Its been 3 years since I purchased my standard poodle Rusty. He is absolutely beautiful,we couldn't be happier with him. Rusty was born March 05,2023 his parents are Ava and Felix. I did research on many hypoallergenic breeds and I wanted a poodle because of there many great traits. We called different poodle breeders in my area,I then spoke with Rachel from Hillside poodles she educated us on the breed and answered many questions.We would frequently call her with more questions and she always was happy to answer. My poodle was easy to potty train he had few accidents in my home. We did invest in additional dog training for him. Rusty has been very healthy he has a great personality . Rusty also was crate trained when we brought him home he adapted immediately to his crate to sleep at night. He is a very confident dog and does not have separation anxiety. Rusty is always accepted at dog parks and doggy daycare, he gets along with dogs and small children. I feel that Rusty had a great beginning at Hillside Poodles,.Rachel's knowledge and care for her poodles was exhibited with our puppy. Please if you are thinking of purchasing a doodle contact Hillside Poodles and you will change your mind. Rusty does need regular grooming, its worth it the breed guarantees no shedding and he is a very clean dog. Thank you Rachel for my Rusty!!

We contacted hillside standard poodles after reading some excellent reviews on google. We were in contact with Rachel via email for a couple days before we went to look at a couple puppies that were available. Rachel answered all our questions and was honest about each puppy, truly trying to link us with a perfect match! When we arrived Rachel and her husband welcomed us into their home. When I say we were there for hours, we were there for HOURS. Not because we couldn’t find a puppy, we knew within 5 minutes which girl was right for us, but because Rachel and her family didn’t rush us. They answered all our questions and showed us around the property letting us meet all of their poodles (who were all meticulously taken care of and gorgeous). They chatted with us and offered us drinks and snacks. They were kind, knowledgeable and patient. We celebrated our girls 1st birthday last week. She is the best dog I’ve even know. She is so smart, loyal, friendly. She has the perfect temperament! She has just enough sass to keep everyone around her laughing. We love her and the experience we had with Hillside Poodles. - The Klingers Endwell, NY

Working with Rachel was the best experience we could have asked for. She helped us identify the ideal standard poodle puppy for us based on the size, color, and temperament we had in mind (we got a small red boy). We paid for additional training that included basic commands, crate training, and exposure to louder noises since we live in NYC. And because we already had a small dog at home, Rachel thoughtfully got the puppy accustomed to spending time with a small dog of hers. We instantly fell in love with our puppy when we went to pick him up. It’s worth noting that the house / facility where the dogs are raised appears very humane, spacious, and clean. She clearly is an ethical breeder who treats the dogs well. Our puppy had a challenging adjustment period when he arrived in NYC. Rachel was very patient and readily available by phone to provide advice for easing the transition, and even offered to take the puppy back and allow us to try another if we didn’t get past the transition. That ultimately wasn’t necessary as our puppy settled in well have a few days, but it was reassuring to know she had our back and was willing to work with us. It’s been several months since we got our puppy, and he is just the sweetest dog we could have asked for. He’s smart, mild-mannered, gentle with animals and people, and he is just gorgeous. People constantly stop us on walks to ask about him or even take pictures of him. Overall, Rachel is a highly ethical breeder who stands by her puppies and makes every effort to ensure a great match with new owners. Would recommend without hesitation. Thank you, Rachel!

A month ago we took home this precious puppy from Hillside Standard Poodles. We “did the poodle not the doodle” because for our family this was the only way. When we arrived we realized the home and its landscape was all for the poodles. We knew immediately that this was a passion for Rachael not just a business. Rachael understood my neurodiverse family and wanted to make sure that we were picking the perfect new addition to our family even though I knew right away which puppy was ours. Rachael did not rush us and made us feel so comfortable. Prior to getting Millie Rachael answered all of my questions and was very patient. Millie is now 3 months old, she is energetic at times and also so calm and gentle around others. She is so intelligent! I highly recommend Hillside and hope to be back to get Millie a friend.

I had a fantastic experience with Hillside and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new furry family member. Rachael and her family took the time to introduce us to a couple of puppies and answered questions allowing us to decide which one was the right fit for us. Throughout the process her communication was excellent she kept us up to date on the puppies and sent us home with a robust package of all the details one needs to know about having a new puppy and gave great advice when I had some questions. It’s evident Rachael takes care of her puppies and knows what she is doing since our puppy is well tempered and healthy. We had some digestive issues with our pup Huxley and she took them seriously and helped us transition to an alternative food. Plus the bonus is that all her pups are extremely cute and lovable. Must go through Hillside— you will not regret it!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
