C & T kennels
Meet the breeder
I'm Thelma B., the breeder behind C & T kennels located in Alamogordo, NM. We take great pride in our dogs and puppies. We chose our pups based on both their parents' disposition, personality, and color. We believe they can produce wonderful puppies to help people. Our goal is to raise wonderful Emotional Support Animals and Service Dogs.
Q. & A. with Thelma
Why did you start breeding?
My husband was a truck driver and loves big dogs but our Rottweiler shed too much. We looked into Poodles and fell in love with the breed. We wanted to enhance them in the service dog community and educate the public about how amazing they truly are.What makes your program special?
We mostly focus on temperament. It is very important to us that our dogs are trainable and well-rounded. We are confident you will love your Poodle companion as much as we do.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 brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
