Kelly, our first Standard Poodle, joined our family in 1989. She was a beautiful apricot poodle, and our foundation bitch, born in the Catskill Mountains of New York. Kelly looked so pretty sitting in the kitchen of Ilsa Konig that we picked her to be part of our family. 

She will always be special in our hearts.

Farleys D Standard has been breeding and raising exceptional AKC registered Standard Poodles since 1990. We have bred, raised and shown some of the finest Standard Poodle champions in the United States including the First Red Standard Female Champion and the Second Red Standard Male Champion. (There are only 3 Red Standard Champions in the US thus far) We are recognized and sought after throughout the world due to breeding consistently well-tempered, happy, healthy and intelligent dogs.

We are members of the Apricot Red Poodle Club where Terry is currently the Treasurer. We are also members of the Greater Pittsburgh Poodle club where we have served as officers for different positions throughout the past years and Terry is their current Treasurer. We were members of the Poodle Club of Long Island when we lived in New York City.

In addition, we have raised and shown Papillons since 1998. After finishing a number of them, ours and for clients, we started breeding Papillons in 2002. We have only bred a few litters so far and we are looking forward to showing them and establishing a Farleys D line of Papillons. We are Members of the Three Rivers Papillon Club of PA where Terry is the founding President and John has served as Treasurer and Vice-President. John is member of the Papillon Club of America.

In the year 2000, John fell in love at first sight with a Havanese which we named Lola. She was finished in no time and became our first Havanese. Since then we have acquired two additional Havanese, Eva and Tango, this time from wonderful people and honored friends Pat and Sue at Glen Iris in Williamsport, PA. During the first 5 years of being in the breed, we have shown and finished many dogs and have been learning about the Havanese. Our first litter was bred in 2005 and are pleased to say we championed two puppies from the Bred-By class from that litter and are looking forward to champion two more from our second litter.  We are members of the Steel Valley Havanese Association where Terry is the founding President and John has served as a Board member and is the current Secretary.  Terry and John are also members of the Havanese Club of America.

We are also members of Fort Steuben Kennel Association All-breed club.

Terry has judged many AKC recognized A and B matches and presented seminars for judges and aspiring judges on topics such as Poodle genetics and Poodle breed type. He is hoping to pursue his judging license in the future.
