Q. & A. with Joanne

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I stated out as a dog handler at the age of 12yr. doing Jr. Showmanship. I learned how to groom several breeds of dogs and along the way fell in love with the poodle! I got my first poodle when I was 20yrs and from there my passion just grew! I truly enjoy every aspect of breeding. From the birthing process to raising and training these fur babies to be well adjusted dogs.
  • What makes your program special?

    They are rasied with a dog trainer/ behaviorist. I am out to set the best foundation for a well adjusted pet. We handle our puppies from day one. Exposing them to everyday life in a home environment. They interact with people of all ages, cats and dogs of all sizes.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Poodle puppies include miniature and moyen sizes. Aussiedoodle puppies include toy and mini sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Poodle puppies include black, blue, brown, cafe au lait, cream, silver-beige, parti, phantom, and brindle. Aussiedoodle puppies include blue merle, red merle, black and white, black tri-color, and red phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
