Parent dogs

Toma, mom
Poodle
About Toma
Toma is a female Poodle. Carefully selected as a great representative of her breed, Katerina decided to make her part of their program. Katerina has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.
Fenny, dad
Poodle
About Fenny
Fenny is apricot, stands at 13 inches tall and weighs 13 lbs. He has absolutely no stranger danger and will happily say hi to all of the people and dogs he meets. In his free time, he loves exploring the woods, finding frogs to chase, and play fetch with any soft toys that he can find.
Mocha, mom
Poodle
About Mocha
Mocha is a phantom standing a 17 inches tall and weighing 18 lbs. She is the doggiest of the bunch (if such a thing is possible). Mocha's favorite activity is pulling stuffing out of stuffed toys, which she only dogs when supervised by her paw-rents. If she had the choice, she would live outside, facing the elements like a real dog. Unfortunately, she is forced inside the comforts of a real home, where she lounges about.
