About Poodles of Piedmont

We are Joe and Sharon, a family-owned Standard Poodle breeder in Morganton, NC — nestled in the beautiful foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

As a dedicated Standard Poodle breeder in Morganton, NC, our love for this remarkable breed spans more than 30 years. What started as a passion for one of the world’s most intelligent and elegant dog breeds has grown into a lifelong calling. We have dedicated decades to raising Standard Poodles that are not only beautiful, but healthy, well-socialized, and ready to be exceptional family companions.

We are not a kennel. Every puppy is born and raised inside our home, surrounded by our family. Our puppies experience everyday sounds, children, other animals, and all the love a family can give — from day one. We believe this home environment is the foundation of a truly well-adjusted dog, and it is something we will never compromise on.

All of our breeding dogs undergo extensive health testing prior to breeding. We are committed to producing puppies that are not only beautiful but structurally sound and genetically healthy. Every puppy leaves our home with a five-year health guarantee, AKC registration, complete vaccination and deworming records, and a microchip.

We begin Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) with every litter starting at three days old. From there, our puppies are exposed daily to children, household sounds, different textures, and new experiences so that by the time they go home at eight weeks, they are confident, curious, and ready to bond with their new family.

Morganton is located just 90 minutes from Charlotte, 45 minutes from Asheville, and within easy reach of families across the Carolinas, Tennessee, Virginia, and Georgia. We also work with families nationwide through air travel arrangements.

We personally guide every family through our adoption process from first application to go-home day. We are always available by phone, text, or email — before, during, and long after your puppy comes home.
