About Forest City Standard Poodles
Forest City Standard Poodles is a small, ethical breeding program based in suburban Central Florida. We don’t have kennels; our dogs are beloved members of our family, living with us as house companions. We keep a limited number of dogs on-site to ensure each one receives focused attention and affection, and we carefully plan just one litter per year.
Our program is run by me, Audria, alongside my adult daughter and a few supportive friends who share a deep love for Standard Poodles. While our careers are outside the animal field, our dogs are truly our passion, and we dedicate ourselves wholeheartedly to their care, training, and development. With over 50 years as a purebred dog enthusiast, I’ve been dedicated to the dog world since childhood—I was that kid who knew every breed and standard in the 1986 version of the AKC Complete Dog Book.
When I brought home my first Standard Poodle, a beautiful apricot girl, the joy she brought our family inspired me to dive deeper into the breed and to commit myself to promoting and preserving its best qualities.
Since then, my journey with Standard Poodles has been one of constant growth and learning. I’ve immersed myself in breed education through canine colleges, specialized training classes, genetic testing, enrichment programs, and AKC breeder conferences. I attend dog shows, participate in dog sports, and focus on developing sound temperaments and strong genetics for future generations. As a member of BetterBred, I ensure my breeding practices support genetic diversity within the breed, and I continue expanding my knowledge to keep Forest City Standard Poodles at the forefront of ethical, high-quality breeding practices.
At Forest City, we breed for more than just looks; we’re dedicated to raising Standard Poodles with balanced temperaments, robust health, and the intelligence and versatility that make this breed so exceptional.
