Hi Silke April 8/2022
Rhodi and I have had fabulous first two weeks. He is everything I wanted and more.
He is so clam and relexed and yet loves to play. We have beem having much on the floor
play time every day. He has been going with me to the seniors home to visit my 90 year
old mother and he sits with her clam as can be. She just smiles and pets him. He is
sleeping through the night although he gets up around 6:00 which is a little earlier than
I am used to, but that's what puppies do. The potty training is going great... not perfect but
that will come. I just want to thank you... you have bred just the perfect fellow for me.

We can't recommend Silke enough! We are so very happy with our new puppy - she is
absolutely beautiful and has such a lovely temperament! She has made a fantastic addition
to our family and everyone who meets her just falls in love. Silke took the time to educate
us and supply so much information, from training to veterinary care. Chloe is such a joy and
we adore her! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!!!!

We are fortunate to have Happy Paws Poodles in Alberta. I knew that when we visited in the
middle of winter and had to remove our boots outside, then first greet all of Silke’s own poodles
(fun poodle apocalypse) and use alcohol sanitizer before meeting our pup, who was in a playpen in
the family living room. We have been blessed with Pumpkin (now Fonzi) born last October. He looks
more like Mom Abby than Dad Leo. He is our third toy poodle and he is the sweetest friendliest
companion and thanks to Silke and her family the easiest pup to transition into our home. We totally
recommend Happy Paws Poodles (which I do repeatedly to admirers on walking trails, in campgrounds
and when he is acting like he is an official airport greeter). A big Thanks to the McLeods!

Hi Silke May 29/2019
We are extremely happy we found Happy
Paws Poodles ! Magnus has been a great
addition to our lives. My daughter and I love watching all of her puppies grow
up
through Silke's regular video posts.
The time she put into her dogs socializtion
allowed Magnus to integrate quickly into our family. Magnus happy demeanor
brings
smiles to all his 2 7 4 legged friends. Thanks for being so caring and
helpful, we truly
love our fur baby.

Hi
Silke,
June 25/2018
I just wanted to thank you so much for my precious little Polly. She has
been
an absolute joy to have in our home. She is very well behaved, very loving
and
very well socialized. She has even made some friends. She has quite the
big
personality for such a tiny dog. I love her silliness.
I also want to let others know when choosing a Happy Paws Puppy that
Silke
gives many great tips and advice for your new puppy. I followed all of her
tips and
they worked great!
Once again thank you so much for my little Polly.
Take care

We have been so impressed with Silke
and the way that she cares for her dogs
and new puppies! She is absolutely wonderful with them. We are so blessed
with
our new addition to our family Teddy. He is a beautiful, well adjusted,
healthy,
happy puppy! Silke trains the puppies and then educated us on how best to
continue
training Teddy. She is highly educated on the poodle breed and is always
available to
answer questions. We highly recommend Happy Paws
Poodles!

I learned years ago that if you want
a specific dog to match your life
you choose a breed. I also learned you need to check
the breeder.
We found Happy Paws Poodles and Silke
online and visited her exciting
Poodle family thereafter. She loves and babies each dog individually.
You can tell from her site she is knowledgeable.
She exceeded our expectations in
every way so we were excited on the
waiting list. We got our Ruby (Betty) before
Christmas and she had exceeded
our expectation
in every way. Smarter than us.
The support after is amazing and the
caring for all her Happy Paws Poodles
Family
is genuine.
Silke will help you see if this breed
works for you and you will be 100% satisfied.
Mabey a little challenged Ruby is smarter than us. LOL

Silke is highly knowledgeable about the poodle breed and
invests considerable time and
energy into raising quality
puppies that are affectionate, playful, smart and sociable.
You can tell that she cares
deeply for all of the poodles in
her care. She has a good
relationship with her veterinarian
and lets you have the vet's
contact information in case you
have any questions. The puppy
is microchipped and has had
their8 week shots and de-worming treatment when picked up.
Silke is a responsible breeder
because she will ask you
questions such as why you want
a dog, who will be taking care
of it and where it will live.
She gives you important and useful
information and you can ask
her any questions. The website is
updated regularly and has a
large amount of valuable
information on it about
poodles and bringing home a puppy.
You can visit the puppy at its
location. It is very important
that you see where the puppy,
the littermates, and the
parents were housed and
raised. You get to meet and play
with the puppy to make sure it
is a good fit for you. Silke
encourages you to visit
multiple times and you can meet all of
her poodles. Silke provides
you with all the required
documentation such as vet
records and Canadian Kennel Club
registration. She updates you
regularly and provides pictures
and videos. I have allergies
to some dog breeds and have not
had any reactions to my puppy
since bringing her home. I would
recommend that anyone who
wants to get a toy poodle puppy
to get one from Happy Paw's
Poodles.
Thank you, Silke!

My husband and I would like to share the overall experience
we had when we purchased a
tiny toy poodle from
Happy Paws Poodles.
In a word – Amazing!
We were looking for a new
puppy last fall and I came across
Happy Paws Poodles website. In
the first conversation we had
with Silke McLeod she invited
us to her home for a visit to see
her poodles in person.
Arriving at her home we were literally
welcomed like
old friends, and introduced to all her well
behaved and loving poodles. We
were able to meet all her
poodles and that was an
amazing experience. All of Silke’s
poodles are so well behaved
and friendly, and with a single
word all of her poodles would
listen and respond quickly,
when told to return to their
individual houses.
Silke is very dedicated to raising
well-adjusted puppies and
has very high standards in
regards to the care and up keep
of her poodles, only the best
for them all!
Silke goes above and beyond, sharing
all aspects we needed
in the care of our new puppy.
Silke takes the time to show you
how to properly hold, and
interact with your new puppy. No
matter your experience level,
Silke will be there to assist you
in every detail. Silke has a
deep insight into the natural
behavior of poodles and is so
willing to share every single
aspect of their nature with
you. Silke explained all her training
techniques and methods she
uses to help your new puppy
interact with all the new
sights and sounds in their environment.
She is also more than willing
to share where she sources many
of her products, so that her
customers can save money
wherever possible.
When our puppy was born, Silke
took the time and stayed in
touch with us weekly about his
eating, health, and weight issues.
Silke sent us numerous pictures as
well as posting videos on
her Facebook page and her
website. As the weeks went by,
and as Silke meticulously
introduced different sights, sounds,
textures,
and experiences to our puppy, she took the time to
share all this information
with us. By the time that he came
home with us he was already
very well socialized with humans
and other dogs, was running
through tunnels (something our older
dog would never do!), climbing
up small baby stairs, and going
down a baby slide. This very
young puppy was already very
sound in both mind and body,
and with Silke’s care was off to
a great start in life. In all
of our years in introducing new pups
to our homes, my husband and I
have never seen such dedication
go into starting a young puppy
off the right way. I cannot
emphasize how important this
is for a young pup – and in this
area Silke is a Superstar!
Silke opened up her home to us
and we were invited to come
visit our puppy as often as we
could come, once his first set
of shots was completed. It was
such an excellent opportunity,
as when it was time to pick up
our new puppy there was
absolutely no separation
anxiety at all. Our new puppy was so
happy to see us, and bringing him home had no negative effect
on him in any which way. We
were already best of friends!
While we were invited to her
home; she had us remove our
shoes outside, she explained
that it was so that no external
germs would be introduced to
her home which is where all her
poodles are raised. All of her
poodles share and live right in
her home with her family.
That's why we have a very hard
time referring to Silke as a
breeder as all her puppies are part
of her family; and that’s why when you bring a puppy home it's
a super easy transition. Silke
explained the schedule she had
with him, so we continued it
after he came home and he easily
adjusted to our routine.
What was very impressive about
Silke is her commitment to you
as a new pet owner, willing to
share all available information and
aid in all aspects of taking
care of your new family member.
Silke sent home with us a
super informative package that covers
all aspects of owning a new
puppy, as well as some extra toys,
bone, blanket, etc.
When our puppy came home after
being raised in that
environment for 10 weeks, he was totally kennel trained,
pee pad trained, and he was
sleeping through the night.
We were not expecting that at
all. Since coming home now
for a few weeks, he gets along
wonderful with our older dog,
and is absolutely a dream
puppy. My husband and I have been
raising and living with dogs
our entire lives, combined that’s
overa 100 years of experience and neither of us have ever
seen a puppy of this age sleep
through the first few nights at
a new home without so much as
a peep. This is all due to the
level of dedication that Silke
and her family have with their
poodles. At our age this may turn out to be the last dog we
own, and if that turns out to
be the case we will have most
definitely saved the best for
the last!
Thank you so
much, Silke, Rick, and Sabrina!

We have been so pleased with our precious little Ruby.
We knew right away from my
first phone congestion with
Silke that our future pup was
coming from an excellent home/breeder.
Silke is
beyond fantastic.
Silke goes above and beyond
the call of breeder duty! She
is absolutely wonderful and
always spending time replying to
any of her client's questions
in a very timely manner. It is
so clear that every one of
Silke's puppies are so important
to her. She has spent so much
time taking with us and giving
us helpful advice, months
before and months after we picked
up our Ruby, that she makes
you think you are her only client.
This was our first
puppy therefore we have had so many
questions and she has always
taken the time to make sure we
are all okay. Silke clearly
wants what's best for all of her
puppies all of the time.
Ruby has been a dream puppy.
Potty training was a bit of a
new challenge for me as I had
no idea what I was doing, but
once I put a plan together,
Ruby was a dream. She has the
sweetest temperament, and is
such a loving, snuggly little girl.
She is nothing but loveable
and our three kids cannot imagine
life without her
anymore.
We have no immediate plans to
add another fur baby to our
home (though you never know)
but if that should ever feel right,
we will 100% return to Silke
for another perfect toy poodle.
I will be recommending Silke
to all of my friends forever!
Thank you, Silke, for all you
do.

OMGeeeeeeee I've had poodles before but the puppy we
got from Happy Paws is easily
the best! She is a teacup
and we got... Her just over a
month ago. She is now
4 months old and is totally
healthy, happy, and such a
sweet heart! Has NEVER cried
when we crate her at night.
She's already fully paper
trained (and hasn't had an
accident in 2 weeks). I
believe the socialization factor with
dogs of all ages early in her
life has made her so smart and
confident. Happy Paws has been
there to answer any new
mom questions I had (my other
poodles were rescues and
a bit older). We have gotten
great suggestions for the
transition into a new home and
keeping our sweetie healthy
and happy.
Kapiscolour is stunning too...even our vet
comments how brave and sweet
she is. If you are looking for
a new puppy and want them
raised their first few month
within a family atmosphere I
would HIGHLY recommend
Happy Paws! Lol my only hesitation in doing so is that it
may take us longer to
get a second one.

Well worth the wait. These pups are so well
brought up. They are
family members,
and
beautifully socialized. My 2 pups are settling
in quickly and are joyful
bundles of love.

Hi Silke, Dec 9th/2014
Amber Rose causes a stir wherever she goes!
People just love her! (and so
do we)
Comments:
Vet: I wish all my toy dogs
were this confident!
Groomer: She is a beautiful
little dog!
Trainer: Amber is the bravest
4 lb. The dog I have ever met!
You found a great
breeder.
Waiting for 12 weeks was worth
it! She is a healthy, friendly,
confident,
brave, lovable little girl. Silke does such a great
job socializing her pups,
offering valuable information,
and
answering any questions you may have. She loves, and cares
about her babies!
I have already recommended
Happy Paws Poodles to several people.

I bought my puppy from Happy
Paws Poodle on Feb 09,
2014. He was the absolute best
purchase I have ever made.
Toby which is his original
name and his current name, he
is a wonderful red toy poodle.
Happy Paws Poodle really
does
breed well-mannered poodles and they even have some
obedient skills to take to
their new home.
Toby brings such happiness to
my teenage daughter and to
myself. We feel more like a
family. We think about him all
day and rush home to see him
after our day of work.
He is very popular in our
neighborhood. He is very social
and has a wonderful group of
dog friends.
If you want a well cared for,
well adjusted, well
mannered and very intelligent
dog, purchase your puppy
from Happy Paws Poodle or
happypawspoodles.com.
Thanks for our wonderful
blessing of Toby
Julianna and
Pandy.

very thorough and loving with
their care of their puppies.
My puppy was very sweet,
smart and of course very cute.
I would definitely recommend them :)

I have two of Silke's wonderful girls. Sydney is my funny little drama
queen that must snuggle with you as much as possible and her half
sister Finn is such a little clown I am always laughing. I couldn't be
happier with my girls. I don't know what my life would be like without them.
You made my
family complete thank you so much.
