Innovative Research Foundation

 The Poodle Club of America Foundation Inc. is a non-profit, charitable corporation dedicated to the health and future of Poodles. Thanks to the generosity of our founders and ongoing donors, we provide financial and other support for charitable, educational and research efforts for dogs in general and Poodles in particular. Take a look around the site for more on our work and (see Samples Needed) how you can help us give something back to this breed that gives us so much. 

 Searching for an addition to your family?  Good breeders are devoted to producing happy healthy puppies, of course, and this devotion includes routine health screening of potential parents.  For health tests currently recommended by the Poodle Club of America, click here: Poodle Health Screening 2020.  For help finding breeders of Toy, Miniature and Standard Poodles in your area, contact PCA’s breeder referral liaisons: //poodleclubofamerica.org/breeder-referral/
