Why did you start breeding?
We have competed in conformation, agility, rally, obedience, for over a decade and decided to carry on our line breeding once a year or every two years to produce the best healthy and sound disposition poodles. We believe in only producing healthy beautiful standard poodles that fit the AKC Standard.What makes your program special?
Our AKC Borealis Standard Poodles are fully OFA tested. We take our breeding program seriously with health and temperament at the top of the list. Alongside breeding poodles that are beautiful to watch we also believe the combination of temperament and movement makes our breeding program successful. We also do not have a kennel so all our puppies are raised in our loving home and watched 24/7.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 are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
