About Ghost Timber Poodles
The biggest difference between our program and the avalanche of brand new breeders with slick websites and fancy Instagram accounts is: time, experience and quality.
All our dogs have extensive genetic health screenings completed according to the official poodle breed standard and come from healthy long lived lines that we have been involved with since 2000.
You can't replicate this. A slick website and fancy pictures from a breeder who has been breeding for two or three years may reel you in with all the 'cute' puppies but they know absolutely nothing about the health of the lines they are breeding.
Our poodles are health tested according to the breed standards set by the Poodle Club of America (PCA) in conjunction with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and the American Kennel Club (AKC). This is what is called the CHIC standard. This is literally the only valid testing that matters in poodles.
In addition, our dogs are 100% merle free. The merle gene does NOT naturally exist in the standard poodle. There has been an explosion of brand new breeders offering merle poodles for sale in the past several years. These dogs have fraudulent pedigrees and are not purebred. The puppies may be cute, but do you trust a breeder that would lie to you? Do you trust a breeder that would commit pedigree/registration fraud?
GTP Open House
On a regular basis we open our main house to a summer picnic for all existing GTP owners and meet up with them at other public events.
​
You can trust that your GTP was bred by a honest reputable preservation breeder by the fact that all existing GTP owners are welcome to tour our 2,700+ square foot main home which is set on several fully fenced acres in the country.

GTP Family
​
We publish an extensive yearly Christmas newsletter to help all GTP owners stay in touch with their extended family. You are welcome to share your news!
​
Lastly, we have a private Social Media owners group that verified GTP owners can join and get help, support and encouragement from your fellow GTP owners in safety and privacy. Only verified GTP owners are cleared to join.
​
Owning a GTP isn't just a one time purchase. You are supported for the life of your dog and become part of a larger family of poodle lovers!
