Croton Pines Standard Poodles LLC

Croton Pines Standard Poodles LLC is a poodle breeder in Newaygo, MI in west Michigan near Grand Rapids. Rebecca Laing-Austin has raised standard poodles for over fifteen years and participates in American Kennel Club registries with routine health screening for hips and eyes. Puppies are raised inside the home and enjoy daily handling, early socialization and exposure to family life.

The farm sits on ten wooded acres where adult dogs have room to exercise and explore under supervision. Litters are kept small to allow individualized care and gentle introduction to leash work and basic manners. Several alumni have gone on to therapy work and competing in obedience trials, reflecting the breeder’s emphasis on steady temperament and clear communication. Health clearances follow recommended protocols and owners receive a care packet outlining feeding schedules and coat maintenance tips. Their breeding philosophy centers on well-rounded temperament suited to family life and ongoing mental stimulation.
