Koby
We purchased our white standard poodle puppy in 2005 from Tracie at Chelsa Standard Poodles. We named our boy, Koby and he will be 4 years old in May 2009. After having other various breeds, we fell in love with the poodle because they are intelligent, loving and non-allergenic. We also grew tired of cleaning dog hair from everything and poodles do not shed. We love Koby and he is a gerat dog! Koby is so loyal, loving and affectionate that we decided when the time comes to add another poodle, we would only consider getting one from Tracie. She became a friend and check many times after the sale to see if we were happy with our new pup. We have purchased poodles through the years from out of state and from various breeders in Michigan. Although we love all our dogs, we never found the quality of dog that we did from Tracie. Koby has such a great personality, demeanor and show quality hair that we could not be more pleased with him. ------ Kirt & Cyndee, Michigan
Belle & Tucker
In May 2005, I began looking for a puppy after several years of being without a dog in the house. My sister has had two Standard Poodles which both have been wonderful dogs. Good with kids, non-shedding, intelligent. I found Tracie via an ad on the internet. I called Tracie and she had one black female left. I was a bit hesitant about purchasing a puppy this way, but after talking with Tracie I knew I had found a reputable breeder. I saw pictures online and made the drive from Michigan to Indiana. The little girl was just cute as a button and Tracie proved to be knowledgeable about the breed. She was very helpful and we have kept in contact to this day. Belle is now 4 years old. When Belle was 1, I decided I wanted another puppy. I decided I wanted a male, and I called Tracie just to see if she had any litters coming. She just so happened to have one right then! I drove down to Indiana again to see the puppies at 4 weeks. Four weeks later, I came home with Tucker. I almost named him Tank because he was so big at the time. Both dogs have given me much joy in life. Belle and I participate in Agility lessons and trials regularly. Tucker goes to work with my husband every day and is the office mascot! My husband originally wasn't too keen on getting a dog, but would trade them for the world now. Thank you, Tracie!

Parker
Hi Tracie,
When I got Parker from you in April 2008, I didn't know what to expect as I had never owned a poodle before. First of all, he is the most beautiful dog in the world! I get compliments on his appearance from absolutely everyone - family, friends, and strangers. His temperament is also excellent. My vet asked for your information because she is so impressed with Parker. She wants a standard poodle after having met Parker. I have 5 grandchildren who pull and tug on him constantly and he's never even growled. One day, I took him, and my 5 yr old grandson for a walk. Parker jumped on Levin and knocked him down. Levin started crying and wailing. Parker laid down right beside him and covered his face as if to say, "I'm so sorry. Please don't cry. I feel bad abotu what happened." As soon as Levin stopped crying and gave Parker a hug, Parker was fine but he has never jumped on children since then. He's so smart! Many, many times I think he reads my mind because he knows when we're going for a walk or ride without me telling him. Tracie, I have never had a dog that doesn't bark all the time at the least little thing. The only time Parker barks is when I'm home and someone approaches the house. If he is in his crate, he doesn't bark at all. Another thing I am pleasantly surprised wiht is how clean Parker is! He always smells good . I have him groomed every 6 weeks. Even after 5 weeks and 6 days, he smells good! My son and daughter-in-law are considering getting a standard poodle, and believe me, they won't talk to anyone but you because they know what a wonderful dog you produced in Parker. How can I thank you for making it possible for Parker and me to be together? May God continue to bless you and Baylie!
Love, Claudia - Fishers, IN
Gabby
Tracie-
Just want to say how much we love our Gabby on her 2nd birthday -- she's such a joy and I don't know what Sophie would do without her -- they are a pair -- drink out of the same bowl at the same time, eat together, and really are together non-stop -- so much fun -- anyway, on her second birthday, just want to thank you again for giving us such a special dog/person!!!!!
Love, Kathy
P.S. She still sleeps on my head every night -- so funny and Sophie at our feet -- we'll send new pictures soon
