“When we decided we wanted to get a standard poodle, we reached out to some connections, and we were very fortunate to have landed with Vanessa as our breeder. It was clear, in our first conversation, that she not only wanted what was best for us, but also, for her upcoming litter. From the very beginning, she shared information and offered tips to get my wheels turning. She checked in throughout the process, after the litter was born, and ensured to keep the lines of communication going throughout the entire experience. She was there for product recommendations as well, which, was so helpful. She loved the puppies as her own, and the love given is evident with how well adjusted our dog is. The videos she posted, to get to know all of them were very helpful and she provided a fun, stimulating environment for all of them. Vanessa also had all of the pups face and feet groomed to get them accustomed to the process.The experience picking up our puppy was also very positive, and she was flexible with all the owners as many were travelling quite a distance to pick up the puppies. Eugene, our dog, was almost 100% potty trained when we brought him home and honestly, the accidents he had were our fault for not being more in tune with his needs and us learning when we have to pay more attention, such as after bath or grooming. Eugene is so kind and loving to humans, and loves other animals! That is a testament to Vanessa and the exposure she gave to the pups by having them with other dogs and cats. The temperament testing was very helpful, so we knew more about him before even having him. The tips on both training and products, post pick up, which have been shared either one on one or via the Facebook owner group, have been invaluable. She proactively reached out to all of us to see if we had any questions or challenges we were experiencing. To sum it up, Vanessa is a great person, and a consummate professional, with a commitment to breeding and raising the best poodles possible.”

“Juniper is a wonderful dog (from Onyx’s first litter) and we are thrilled that she joined our family. She is sweet, easily trained and is great with our kids. Vanessa was a fantastic breader to work with! She provided lots of updates and advice throughout the process. I would highly recommend O’So Sharp!”

“We have an absolute beautiful, smart, personal, active solid black puppy named Koal (given name of Midnight) from Vanessa. Currently 5 months old. My wife and I are enamored with how wonderful a demeanor he has. He has been easy to train and is well adjusted to our household already. Our experience with Vanessa from the beginning process of reaching out in interest to obtaining and then our follow up communication on the progress of our pup have been evidence of her commitment to be an excellent breeder. I enjoyed her updates and posts of the full litter. Her tips on personalities and training in posts were absolutely perfect. She cares about her dogs and the owners she matches up, no doubt about it. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.”

“Its hard to believe Goldie has now spent half her life with us! I will be the first to admit it hasn’t always been easy, especially getting through her biting stage, she is such a blessing to us! I have joined a couple of poodle groups on facebook and after hearing others stories of their dogs behavior, I am so happy we were able to get ours from Vanessa Sharp. From the first night home with us, Goldie had no trouble sleeping in her crate or spending time in her exercise pen. She also came to us pretty much house trained. From the first night she has stayed dry all night long. Within the first couple of days with us, she knew enough to go by the door when she needed to go outside. Since Vanessa did temperament test and also showed videos of her playing, I knew she was a mouthy dog. The pups had been introduced to marrow bones, so it was easy togive her those to chew on. Within six weeks of being with us, her mouthing habit was under control. She also gets along with other pups very well. When she went to the groomer, the groomer was surprised at how well behaved she was andhow easy she is to groom. I credit this to the fact that Vanessa gave the puppies grooming experiences when they werevery young. Goldie has been such a delight to have around, I cant imagine life without her!”
