Welcome to Aldea Poodles!

Aldea (Al- day- ah) is the prefix for Dewey & Paula Ford. Together we have been breeding and exhibiting in AKC shows, both conformation and obedience for over 35 years. We have 2 daughters who both successfully competed in Junior Showmanship. Jami, the oldest, going on to become an accomplished handler. Our grandsons, Gabriel & Colin, are just beginning to learn about caring for puppies and showing. Gabriel attended his first UKC show in 2016 as a junior at 5 years old. Loving and caring for dogs has been a big part of our family for generations.
While showing is important to ensure good type and conformation, temperament and health are priority. Testing for health issues is an important part of our breeding program. We strive to raise puppies of overall good quality that are beautiful, healthy, well socialized, and intelligent with a sweet disposition.
We take joy in making sure our puppy is a good match for the new family. We love our Poodles. Our puppies are raised inside our home.
Our dogs have excelled in the show ring, performance events, grooming competitions, hunting, and have made excellent service dogs for the handicapped and disabled veterans. The versatile Poodle as it should be.
