Puppies playing! NEW: Brushing Coat and How their Dremel sessions went The Journey begins! I always give the Babies time to heal from Docking and Dew Claw removal, before we start our intensive life training! This is where I get super excited! As a life long trainer and behaviorist, my love is to instill a firm foundation for these puppies. I have always been a firm believer in the "start early", functional, daily training and conditioning. We use natural tools to stimulate the senses.Their God given instinct to "FIND MOM" is so strong, and we can use it to promote tenacity, and strength, not only physically, but mentally. We want to add critical thinking, starting now! Most of the technique for this strategy, is slight and tender. A lot of touch and smell of different humans, that lead them to feel comfortable and safe. Instilling trust of those humans by helping them make their trek to the almighty nipple. These exercises begin the introduction of the puppy, to, "Whatever is attached to this smell and this touch, it's here to help me!" We want them first and foremost to trust us humans, and see us as the leadership they need to tap in to and follow. And to see us as the wise fearless leaders that they can confidently learn from.

    Our Puppies: Our Services OUR PUPPIES ​ Little Cutie Pies Our Puppies are going to have it all! While every puppy is different and has a different personality, we are going to try our hardest to ensure that you get a puppy that has been through EVERYTHING that he/she might encounter at your home, business, farm, condo, apartment, etc. We will start them from the moment they are born with imprinting them to human touch, breath, and vocals. We will never let our puppies out of the nursery until they are at least 8 weeks old(usually closer to 9-10), and have started to show confidence in this world we are living in. Our Job as conscientious breeders, is to ensure the well being of all of our puppies, which is why we require a home study, which usually includes a Facetime call, character references, and a full contract agreement to never breed your puppy without personal consent. You must agree as a responsible owner to Spay or neuter by the time noted on your contract from High Mesa Standards, and agree that if for any reason you decide this puppy is not for you, you send it back to High Mesa Standards. This is specifically to ensure that None of our puppies end up in a shelter, or worse, neglected at home with no love. This would break my heart. Get in Touch Puppy Contract Turnkey Puppies

    OUR EDUCATION As a breeder, Trainer, and overall dog enthusiast, I feel better equipped if I continue my education with classes, courses, and hands on experiences, as much as I possibly can. Science is always changing and challenging what we think we know about the Canine world. I want to make sure I am keeping up with the science. Also, there are always new things I can learn that I have never heard before. On this page, I list a few of my classes, and companies that I find enrich my knowledge. petsummits.com has a TON of great resources for ongoing education if you are so inclined. I really enjoy theses seminars, and learn a bunch!

    THE STORY OF HIGH MESA STANDARDS How We Got Started From the time I was a young girl, I have always loved animals. Particularly DOGS! I love them, everything about them. My parents started out their marriage early years showing Dobermans. Over the years we have had many different breeds, and had many years of learning what training methods work best with what dogs. As an adult it just seemed natural for me to start an obedience training business. I did that (training) for many years, and even included classes with the rec district of Montrose county. After my kids started school, we decided I needed to home school my kids, and I ended my dog training business. My kids are grown now, and so I am back to my love of dogs. I specifically loved the Standard Poodle's Intelligence, and wanted to try a breeding program that focused on personality and health traits, as well as beauty. I believed I could achieve a better Standard poodle based on those qualities, AND have beauty too. And so, High Mesa Standards was born. I know you are going to love our puppies as much as we do.
