Sharlene Craig ~ Brienwood Standard Poodles

Brienwood Standard Poodles, run by Sharlene Craig in Rocklin, California, focuses on breeding AKC-registered standard poodles suited for conformation, performance events, and family life. Rocklin sits in the Sacramento metro area, in the Sierra Nevada foothills northeast of Sacramento.

The program places a strong emphasis on health testing, with dogs DNA tested through Embark, Penn Hip evaluated, CERF eye certified, cardiac cleared, and tested for day and night blindness and genetic diversity through UC Davis. Sires and dams are OFA registered and CHIC qualified before being used in the breeding program. Several of the studs in the program have been imported from Europe to introduce distinct traits, and breeding dogs carry championship and performance titles.

Sharlene works to produce puppies suited for conformation, performance, and as family companions, with an eye toward correct structure, health, and temperament. Puppies are handled daily from birth and deliberately exposed to varied environments and stimuli to help them develop confidence early. As an AKC evaluator, Sharlene is credentialed to test dogs in Star Puppy, Canine Good Citizen, CGC Advanced, Urban, Trick Dog, and Fetch programs, reflecting a commitment to trainability and real-world manners that carries through from her breeding choices to how she raises each litter.
