The people and the dogs behind Doodle & Poodle.

Run by Rishabh Verma — a small, home-based breeder in Delhi NCR working from imported Poodle bloodlines. We raise Standard Poodles and Goldendoodles as our speciality, and place a small number of litters each year with families across India. Other breeds can be arranged on request.

Who is behind Doodle & Poodle

Rishabh Verma, breeder at Doodle & Poodle, Delhi NCR — Rishabh Verma — breeder, Delhi NCR

My name is Rishabh Verma, and I breed the dogs on this website.

I have been breeding Standard Poodles, Toy Poodles and Goldendoodles in Delhi NCR for the better part of a decade. Not as a side business, and not as a shop that sources puppies from wherever it can — these are my own dogs, living in my own home, and I know every one of them by temperament rather than by pedigree number.

I put my name on this site for a simple reason. When you are about to spend a great deal of money on an animal that will live with you for fifteen years, you should know who you are buying it from. A great many Indian puppy websites will not tell you that. If something goes wrong at two in the morning eight months from now, you should have a person to ring, not a form to fill in.

That person is me. The number on this site is mine.

Our imported foundation dogs

Most Indian breeders build their programme from dogs bought locally. We did it differently, and it is the single biggest reason our puppies look and behave the way they do.

Our foundation dogs were imported from Eastern Europe — Russia and Ukraine — and from Southeast Asia. Those are two of the strongest sources of Standard and Toy Poodle show lines in the world, and very few breeders in India have gone to the trouble or expense of bringing dogs in from them.

Why it matters to you, in plain terms:

Conformation

Imported show lines bring correct structure — the head, the coat texture, the movement. It is the difference between a Poodle that looks like the breed standard and one that merely resembles it.

A wider gene pool

India's Poodle population is small and closely related. Bringing in unrelated bloodlines widens the pool, which matters for the health of every litter that follows.

Temperament

Good European breeding programmes select for temperament as hard as for looks. That comes through in the puppies, and it is what you actually live with.

You are welcome to meet these dogs. Not photographs of them — the dogs themselves, in our home. That invitation is open to anyone seriously considering a puppy from us, and it is the fastest way to tell a real breeding programme from a sourcing operation.

Registration and paperwork

Our Standard Poodle and Toy Poodle litters are registered with the Kennel Club of India. Litter registration means the parentage is documented with the national registry rather than simply asserted by us, and you receive the paperwork with your puppy.

Goldendoodles cannot be KCI registered, because a crossbreed is not a recognised breed. We say so plainly, and if anyone in India offers you KCI papers for a Goldendoodle, ask them to show you exactly what the document is.

Every puppy also leaves with a vet health certificate, a complete vaccination and deworming record, and honest disclosure of anything we have noticed.

Why we specialise

Most places selling puppies in India list every breed imaginable. They are not breeding those dogs; they are sourcing them, often from places you would not want to see. We chose two related breeds so that we could actually know them — their coats, their temperaments, the health issues worth screening for, and how they cope with Indian heat and humidity.

How we raise them

Litters are born and raised inside our home, not in runs. That matters more than almost anything else: puppies raised around household noise, visitors and normal family chaos grow into calmer, more adaptable dogs. They are handled daily from birth, introduced carefully to new surfaces and sounds, and stay with their mother and littermates until they are genuinely ready to leave.

What we ask of you

Come and meet the mother. Ask us difficult questions. Tell us honestly about your home, your hours and who will walk the dog — if a Standard Poodle is wrong for your situation we would much rather say so than sell you one. And please plan for grooming before the puppy arrives, because both these breeds need it every six to eight weeks for the rest of their lives.

Afterwards

We stay reachable. Diet, grooming, the difficult adolescent months around eight to fourteen months when the coat changes and the manners briefly disappear — call us. That is what buying from a breeder is supposed to mean.

Looking for a different breed?

Standard Poodles and Goldendoodles are our speciality — they are what we breed ourselves and what we know in real depth. But if you have your heart set on a different breed, tell us. Over the years we have built a small network of breeders across India whom we know personally, and we can often arrange it.

We will always tell you plainly which puppies are ours and which come through our network — and we apply the same standards either way: health records, complete vaccination, and a breeder you can actually speak to. If we cannot source a breed responsibly, we will say so rather than find you one anyway.
