Smith Standard Poodles Little Rock, Arkansas

It turned out for the best but I have left messages, emailed (not in an annoying way) but have never gotten a call or email. So I got a pup from champion lines from a breeder who responds back to potential customers. Slick website & beautiful pictures for this kennel but zero response even to say we don't have puppies at this time.

Best poodles you could ever find! These are the sweetest, most intelligent, wonderful dogs and I wouldn't know what to do without mine! There is something to be said about somebody who puts as much research into their breeding program as Smith Standard Poodles does.

Great people and great dogs. They let us visit and look at a couple of puppies so we could make a decision on one. They are very knowledgeable and helpful with any question you may have about poodles. Very fair prices. We love our Mac.

Super nice people, first-class facilities and wonderful Standard Poodles!! Our Smith's Poodle "Baxter" is growing fast. Smart and sweet. We love him!

OUTSTANDING! We bought our two standard poodles from them. Top-notch facility with high-quality dogs.

We are “people” to two Smith Standard Poodles (SSP) and cannot rave enough about Mick and Ann Smith, Gail, Teri and the rest of their staff, their facility, and their dogs-they are top-notch-????, in every respect. We did extensive research on standard poodle breeders across the country and were so impressed with the SSP website. Our positive impression continued and we became so excited after talking to Mick on the phone, that we decided to drive from Ohio to Little Rock for a visit and we came home with our Cosette (they will fly your pup to you via the airlines, if you prefer). We were so thrilled with Cosette, we came back a year later in 2018 to bring home a brother for her, our Marius. Both of our Smith fur babies are amazing in every way-beauty, intelligence, behavior and temperament. Can’t imagine being without a SSP-we would recommend SSP to anyone who wants to bring a standard poodle into their family, without hesitation or qualification! It’s also exciting to follow the Smith Standard Poodle Facebook page, where so many of us SSP “people” share news about our fur babies-such fun!

Smith Poodles is a wonderful breeder who breeds very calm well adjusted standard poodles. We bought our dog Gunner in June 2019 and he has been the best puppy I've ever had. He is so smart and was housetrained in two days using a doggie door. Two weeks later he did not require to be crated. We had a trainer come in to do some basic obedience training and she said he was the smartest dog she had ever trained. He learned to sit, stay, down and shake hands in the very first hour. Now at 9 months, he is a thriving wonderful dog. So wonderful that I just contacted Mr. Smith to get a companion for Gunner so he will have someone to play with. Also, when I received Gunner from the Smith's, he came with a two year health guarantee, so I can't imagine if James Sharp had contacted Mr. Smith, that he wouldn't have honored that guarantee. I recommend this breeder to anyone who wants a highly intelligent, calm well adjusted standard poodle. The Smith's must be doing something right to be in the business for over 20 years!

This breeder sold us a one-year-old poodle in 2013. Dillon had major health issues from the get-go. They started with cataracts which cost us several thousand dollars. Owner refunded purchase price which covered about one-third of the cost of surgery, vet visits, meds, etc. Then came glaucoma. More vet visits and very expensive eye drops. All for naught. This was followed shortly thereafter by enucleation (eyeball removal). He did amazingly well with no eyes. Not long after that, the seizures began. Major, full-blown, convulsive seizures. Another thousand or so in phenobarbitol prescriptions over a three-year period. Dillon died in October 2019 after suffering a massive 45-minute seizure from which he never recovered. He was 7-1/2. Very sweet, beautiful animal. But physically, he was a wreck. He really never stood much of a chance. But we feel blessed for having had him in our lives. Check out this breeder's Yelp reviews: Ours and another victim who was sold a puppy with parvo. Caveat emptor.

I have a 5 yr White Standard Poodle from here that has the best personality!!! She is very social and very sweet. Everyone who comes to the house instantly loves her, even if they say that they aren’t really a “dog person.” Many are surprised to see a big dog in the house and how calm and well mannered she is. This is just a Poodle trait. I only had to potty train her, the rest is just her traits and desire for attention. She loves to play and go on long hikes in the woods. Poodles are sensitive and want to please you. They are very affectionate. She is well bread and very healthy. A perfect family pet.
