Blackland Poodles
Meet the breeder
I'm Kathy M., the breeder behind Blackland Poodles located in Riesel, TX. My babies are very social. They have been around other dogs and get along with them. We're doing our best to breed with total care by primarily focusing on raising healthy, affectionate, and loyal companions. As a result of our efforts, we’re positive our puppies will become perfect family members and add just as much joy to your life as they have ours!
Q. & A. with Kathy
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding because I have always wanted to breed a high quality dog and this litter is the perfect bunch. They go outside to potty, they sleep all night and they come back inside with a treat ( don't have to chase them down).Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
