Stoney Brook Poodles, owned by Sandra Cointreau has been producing beautiful AKC registered Standard Poodles of impeccable pedigree for 25 years at her rural home where she also keeps her horses. Each litter is temperament tested to determine how best to match their personalities with families, their other animals, or with potential work ( including hunting and therapy). We are proud of our Stone
y Brook working dogs. At the Poodle Club of Massachusetts event, Stoney Brook D. (Lucy) won a Working Certificate (WC) when tested in the field for water fowl retrieval in 2009. At the Poodle Club of America National Event, she was one of only 8 poodles nationally that won a WC and a Working Certificate Excellent (WCX). AKC awarded Stoney Brook Rupert the Survivor an Honorable Mention for Canine Excellence (ACE) in the category of exemplary Therapy work in 2007. One dog in the country, a corgi, won the ACE award for therapy, and only 7 dogs won the honorable mention. Rupert was the only standard poodle in this group of 8 dogs recognized by AKC. Westminster Kennel Club acknowledges exemplary Therapy dogs at their annual shows and Stoney Brook Scout has received that honor for her work in New York hospitals. One of our poodles provided a healing presence at her veterinarian owner's office; another provided a healing presence at her pschologist owner's office; and another provided in-home therapeutic support for a family with three special needs children. In 2010, four Stoney Brook puppies were selected to start therapy training for their future work (detecting low blood sugar and potential seizure, engaging and improving the education of autistic and other special education children, bringing happiness and healing to children in hospitals). Each year more and more of our Stoney Brook poodles join this historic group of therapy dogs
