TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR AMAZING STRIKINGLY FAMILIES!

“We picked up our Gracie (Pecan) in March 2023. She is so smart and funny and we love her so much. She is her daddy’s shadow and won’t let him do anything alone. 

You can really tell that Cris loves all her dogs and takes great care to ensure you are getting a happy, healthy and socialized puppy. Our girl excelled in puppy training and obedience training and lives to please. She has never been sick and is always happy. I can’t wait to get another Strikingly Standard Poodle in the future!”

“I 100% recommend strikingly standard poodles. I have 3 strikingly pups and can confidently say they are the best things to happen to me.

Cris puts so much time and devotion into these pups to ensure they grow to be amazing dogs and i can say it definitely pays off, potty training has went so easily for all three of our babies as well as basic training.

Even after getting all of our dogs she still stays in contact with us and answers all of our questions and concerns.

I’m so grateful for our babies and grateful to cris for allowing us to be apart of the strikingly family!”

With fond memories of a Standard Poodle I had in my younger years; I was hoping to return to that breed but wanted to find a program I could trust. I kept looking online but was intimidated by a sort of elitism from some of the breeders and others seemed more committed to making money than to raising healthy happy dogs. I learned about Strikingly Standard Poodles through word of mouth and reached out to Cris.

Cris at Strikingly Standard Poodles was phenomenal from the first hello. She enthusiastically described the hallmark characteristics of her bloodlines: parti coloring, friendly companions, happy to be couch potatoes but physically able to do so much more. She described the careful process of breeding and raising her pups to be well socialized with kids, other dogs, vets, groomers and visitors. She took time to explain the details of genetic testing and the careful attention she pays to healthcare and nutrition.

Our puppy was born to the ICE CREAM litter July 13, 2023, and was named Cookie Dough. As awesome as Cris was during the exploration phase, I have been bowled over by her support ever since our puppy was born. She kept us updated on all the milestones and helped ease our separation anxiety with lots of pictures and videos. Cris was very accommodating about visits to her home. She has always responded to the many many questions about continuing the care and training of our puppy. An added bonus is her Strikingly Standard Families FB page where we can all share our pictures, experiences and questions.

Margarita is 10 1/2 months old at the time of this testimonial. She has been such a blessing to us and our extended family. She draws a lot of attention with her looks and frequent compliments about her demeanor in public. The groomer and veterinary staff all love her. Her athletic ability surpasses anything I expected, yet she is very calm in the house. This young dog became my best friend immediately and I am so grateful I learned about her dedicated breeder at Strikingly Standard Poodles in Zebulon.
