San Diego Poodle Club

What is the San Diego Poodle Club?
The San Diego Poodle Club was founded on several key ideas all to support and educate others about this wonderful companion. The club's mission statement is:
To further the interest of pure-bred poodles through selective breeding, training, and exhibiting and to do the all possible to bring their natural qualities and abilities to perfection.
To urge all members and breeders to accept the standard of the breed as drawn up by the parent club, The Poodle club Of America, Inc., as the only standard of excellence by which poodles shall be judged. To provide an on-going educational program for the benefit of the general public as well as for the membership of the club.
To encourage active participation and sportsman-like competition at dog shows, matches, and obedience trials, as well as in all other phases of the sport. To conduct sanctioned and licensed specialty shows, marches, and obedience trials under the rules and regulations of the American Kennel Club.
