Q. & A. with Ashley
Why did you start breeding?
Originally, I wanted to get involved with purebred Standard Poodles as they have always had my heart. Then one day I bought a pregnant Standard Poodle who needed a new home. After that first litter, I realized I had found my calling and never looked back!
What makes your program special?
I spend every possible moment with my dogs- whether it's training, taking a simple walk or just cuddling on the couch. Each dog and puppy born into my program are treated like family and loved from the very second they are born. This isn't just a hobby to me, it is my passion.
We breed for great health and temperaments. Extensive health testing, early socialization and ENS make this possible!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot, black, brown, cafe au lait, silver-beige, parti, phantom, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
