Welcome to Celeto Standard & Miniature poodles. As the youngest of the three children, family pets have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, we had miniature poodles, poodle mixes and several mutts, along with many beloved cats, several gerbils and fish. We brought home our first standard poodle, a brown girl, Coco, in 1984 when I was just eight years old. We took her to our local dog training club where she excelled in obedience training. Coco was so patient, loving and loyal with us as we would dress her up, brush her long ears, and take her for walks. She remained our loyal family pet & constant companion until her death at 14 years old. Coco is the reason we fell in love with the standard poodle. We also had a beautiful black miniature poodle, Ebony, who was my mom's shadow and stayed by her side for 16 wonderful years. With the passing of Coco & Ebony we began our search for our next family companion to help mend our broken hearts.
 In 2001, Jasmine, our beautiful black standard, joined our family. She was not only top dog at our house, leading in a gentle yet firm manner; but also our “heart dog”. Jasmine successfully completed obedience beginners’ class, advanced beginner’s class and easily earned her canine good citizen award on May 13, 2004. Jasmine brought such joy & happiness to our family we knew we had to bring her half sister, Sophie, home in 2003. Sadly, we lost our precious Jazz April 15, 2008 to mast cell carcinoma.
 Our first introduction to the conformation show ring was with my handsome white standard male Toby, AM. CH. Safari’s Puttin’ On The Ritz; who joined our family in 2005. Toby enjoyed the show ring and all the attention; thus, the show bug bit!! Toby continues to make us laugh and smile daily, with his enthusiasm for life and the world is his oyster!
 Celeste, AM. CH. Pave’ Diamond in the Sky, joined our family in August of 2007. She was bred by Bonnie Weyrauch of Pave’ poodles. We thank Bonnie for entrusting this stunning white bitch to be the foundation of Celeto poodles. Celeste is a fun-loving & very sweet natured girl. She produced a beautiful litter of outstanding puppies in 2010. From that litter we have kept Lucy, Celeto's I Love Lucy, who will be starting her show career soon! Thus began our standard poodle breeding program!! Our kennel name is the combination of our foundation female Celeste & our male Toby, Celeto Poodles. We strive to breed dogs of the highest quality. Proper conformation, good health, and even temperaments are our goals. We take breeding very seriously and every litter is planned with quality in mind. All of Celeto puppies are bred to be show quality; however, that does not mean they are all required to go to show homes. In fact, most of our puppies are placed in loving pet homes. We prefer finding good families rather than gaining championships. We are proud of our dogs' lineage and hope to continue that success and better the breed.
 Our beautiful white miniature Tillie, AM. CH. Deagra Divine Who's Foolin' Who came to us from Denise Agre-Gill & Matthew Hougland. Tillie is a beautiful sound bitch with an outgoing and fun loving temperament. She finished her American Championship easily as a puppy. We would like to thank Denise & Matt for breeding such a beautiful bitch and allowing her to be a part of our family. Tillie produce a lovely litter of gorgeous puppies in 2011. Watch for her son & daughter in 2012.
