Meet Elite Poodle House

We are a small, in-home poodle breeder based in New Jersey focused on raising healthy, well-socialized puppies. Our dogs, Melo and Dutches, are part of our family and are raised in a clean, loving environment. We specialize in producing beautiful, affectionate poodles with great temperaments and unique coat colors including café au lait, apricot, and golden tones. Each puppy is handled daily, exposed to people, and started on early socialization to ensure a smooth transition into their new homes. Our goal is to provide families with not just a puppy, but a lifelong companion. We are always available to answer questions and support our buyers before and after adoption. Additional Information: Meet the Parents 🐩 Dutches (Dam/Mother) Dutches is a Toy Poodle weighing approximately 10 pounds. She has a cafe-au-lait coat color, which is a fading color gene in poodles. Many cafe-au-lait poodles are born a darker brown and gradually lighten as they mature, developing the rich coffee-with-cream color that cafe-au-lait is known for. She carries the elegance, intelligence, and affectionate temperament typical of Toy Poodles. 🐩 Melo (Sire/Father) Melo is a Miniature Poodle weighing approximately 15–20 pounds. He has an apricot coat, a warm color ranging from light cream-gold to a deeper golden-apricot shade. Apricot is one of the most sought-after poodle colors due to its beautiful, vibrant appearance. Melo brings athleticism, intelligence, and a friendly personality to the breeding program. Expected Puppies Because Dutches is cafe-au-lait and Melo is apricot, the puppies may inherit a variety of shades depending on the genes each parent passes down. Potential colors could include apricot, cream, light brown tones, or puppies that may lighten as they mature. Coat color outcomes cannot be guaranteed without genetic testing, but the pairing has the potential to produce beautiful, unique puppies with the curly, low-shedding coats poodles are known for. Size Expectations With a 10-pound Toy Poodle mother and a 15–20-pound Miniature Poodle father, the puppies will likely mature into small companion dogs, often falling between Toy and Miniature Poodle sizes.
