-----Answer-----
There is no such thing as a giant standard poodle or a Royal or whatever you would like to call them.  They are all standard poodles.  Some are larger than others.  So if you come across someone that is selling standards as such, run the other way.  It is only a marketing ploy to charge people more money.  Typical size of standards usually runs in the 21-25 inch range.  Anything larger than that is quite large.  You will find though that most of the reds will tend to run a little on the smaller side.  There are very few nice red standards out there and you will be paying a hefty price for them as well.  Reds usually run over $2000.  Breeders are very careful about where they place their puppies also.  Be sure when shopping for your standard that you find a reputable breeder.  You also want ATLEAST a 2 year health guarantee.  Especially on the hips.  The larger the standard the more prone to hip dysplasia they will be.  Make sure when purchasing a puppy that the parents have had their health testing.  In the very least they should have been OFA tested on their hips and have a rating of fair, good, or excellent for the breeder to even be breeding them.
Good luck in your search.

You will have to do a search in your area and on the net.  be sure to check references.

Answer
I only know of a couple of breeders of reds and they will not ship overseas.  You will find that most US breeders will not ship overseas due to all the recent scammers out there.  We have all been cautioned not to unless we know the breeders or handlers that we are sending our dogs too.  The only time breeders do ship overseas is to show their dogs overseas.  So unless you are a big show handler or breeder you probably will not be able to get a breeder to ship to you.  Also due to the heavy restrictions on guarantines in countries most breeders are unwilling to do that to their puppies.  I am afraid you will have to look in your own country to find a breeder.
Good luck in your search.
