My name is Ashley Estepp, and I’m the face behind Hampshire Hill’s Standard Poodles. That sweet faces you see there is my son, Gibson, who blessed my life on September 9, 2020. I’m also incredibly thankful for my amazing, devoted fiancé, who stands beside me every step of the way supporting my dreams, helping bring my vision to life, and being a constant source of strength through it all.
Before this journey began, I spent 11 years working at a local animal hospital. Not long after Gibson was born, I followed in my mother’s footsteps and took over her private pet grooming salon so she could enjoy retirement. What started as a big life transition quickly became something I truly loved building.
Today, we share our home with 2 of the 6 standard poodles in our breeding program. Our 4 others poodles are placed in carefully selected guardian homes. Breeding started as a hobby for me, driven by my love for this incredible breed and my desire to share them with others. Standard poodles first caught my attention because I rarely saw them in the clinic, and I was fascinated by their intelligence, versatility, and the fact that they don’t shed.
Like many great stories, mine started with “just looking.” I came across a local litter online and decided to go see them, thinking it couldn’t hurt. Well… as you can probably guess, I left that day having placed a deposit on my very first poodle. That one decision sparked a passion that has grown into something so much bigger than I ever imagined.
Hampshire Hill’s Standard Poodles is truly built on love—love for my family, love for this breed, and love for the families who welcome our puppies into their homes.
