Our Breeding Practices
Behaviour and socialisation
We use Early Neurological Stimulation ( ENS ) and Early Scent Introduction ( ESI) Puppies are socialised to the world around from the minute they are born. Living in our home they experience all the sights, sounds and smells of day to day life. We breed for calm and well rounded puppies. They are introduced to a…
Health
Puppies will be DNA tested through Embark for over 220 genetic diseases, even though they are clear by parentage. Parents are fully DNA tested, hip scored, diversity tested. Puppies will be raised on a raw hybrid diet with 80% of it consisting of a raw diet with the other 20% high quality kibble incase new owners…
Home environment
Puppies are raised in our home. They have their pen indoors where they spend the majority of their time, but when weather is appropriate they getto go out into their outdoor pen where they can play and explore with a huge range of items and surfaces. We are based just outside of Launceston, in Tasmania's north.

Additional Tests
Sicra Poodles conducts 6 additional tests available for the Standard Poodle.
- Genetic Test
Canine Elliptocytosis is a rare genetic disease causing the red blood cells to be abnormally elliptical in shape, rather than round. It generally does not cause a clinical problem to affected dogs, but puppies may be mildly anaemic and smaller than others. There is a DNA test available to identify if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
- Genetic Test
This is a disease affecting the spinal cord of older dogs, initially causing wobbliness and eventually hindlimb paralysis. It can affect a wide range of breeds. There is now a DNA test that can indicated if a breeding dog is carrying this disease.
- Physical Test
These breeders have had x-rays taken on their breeding dogs to assess the quality of their elbow joints. Dogs with very low ‘elbow scores’ are less likely to develop elbow problems in the future and less likely to pass hereditary elbow problems on to their puppies.
- Physical Test
An eye certificate means the breeder has had their breeding dogs examined by a veterinary ophthalmologist, to confirm they are not affected by any eye conditions which may be passed down genetically to their puppies. If relevant for the breed, it also includes running DNA tests to confirm the dog is not a genetic carrier of hereditary eye diseases, such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA). It includes breeders who have participated in the Australian Canine Eye Scheme (ACES).
- Genetic Test
Neonatal Encephalopathy (NE) is a brain disease that can occur in Standard Poodle puppies. There is a DNA test available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.
- Genetic Test
Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) in dogs is a type of genetic eye disease causing deterioration of the retina and eventually, blindness. There are a variety of sub-types of PRA, which can occur in various breeds. There are various DNA tests available to identify whether a breeding dog is carrying this condition.

About the Breeder
A little about us
I had always had a passion for poodles having grown up around toy poodles, I got my first Standard poodles in 2020, since have showen a number of standard poodles and competed in dog sports. Absolutely adore the breed and all they have to offer.
Why we got involved in breeding
My goal is to breed standard poodles who are conformationally correct and able to compete in the show ring without biased of their colour. While also breeding all round dogs who can compete in dog sports or be family pets.
Our special touch
We understand that many families naturally feel drawn to certain puppies based on colour, markings, or appearance. However, after extensive research, education, and experience, we have chosen not to allow puppies to be selected purely on looks. At 7 weeks of age, each puppy undergoes detailed temperament testing.…
