Show Prospect Compared With Pet Quality: A prospective show quality puppy of any breed is one that an experienced breeder feels is capable of finishing its AKC championship and is free from any major faults according to that particular breed standard. Show puppies have the proper attitude, conformation and movement to compete in the Breed Ring. There are a thousand variables to finishing a Champion, however, (not to mention a huge financial commitment) and at the normal puppy placing time of 8-12 weeks, they can only be a Show Prospect. These puppies are of course sold with Full Registration and are priced accordingly.

A Companion/Pet quality puppy would be one that is not, in the breeder's opinion, suited for competition in the breed ring and should therefore not be bred from. Breeders work hard to protect their reputations and years of work and sell these puppies with Limited Registration. Your puppy may compete in agility trials, obedience trials, tracking and non-AKC sanctioned fun matches. A limited registration ensures that the dog will not be bred and any future offspring from this dog may not be registered. Puppies with limited registration are sold with spay or neuter contracts with a Rebate applied to that cost. Spaying or neutering will help your companion live a longer and healthier life. Both categories of puppies have identical care, socialization and breeding.

Since high quality Standard Poodle puppies are in great demand, I do accept and suggest a Deposit to hold a puppy of your choice in an upcoming litter. You do not have to place a deposit. Just call when the puppies are ready to go to their new homes and see if any are left, if you prefer.

Seacrest cares that the puppies bred here will become well rounded, well mannered citizens and family members and good representatives of the Standard Poodle breed. I offer to all new owners a Training Rebate to encourage them to enjoy their Poodle to the fullest.
