Caelestis Poodles
Meet the breeder
I'm Ashley H., the breeder behind Caelestis Poodles located in Lillington, NC. I do my best to produce healthy, well-rounded Poodles that will enrich lives as mine have! I owe my life to my poodle Pandora and I want every puppy I produce to have the same effect on their owners. All pups are raised with puppy culture, well socialized, and started training to make them their best.
Q. & A. with Ashley
Why did you start breeding?
My family has been in dog breeding for generations always trying to improve their breeds. I decided to take an active role when I knew I would have to retire my service dog and I couldn't find a program that I could get behind to find her replacement. With everything else I'm involved with I also couldn't have just a service dog. My goal is a perfect blend of everything I know a poodle can be.What makes your program special?
Everything I do is in the best interest of both puppies and for future generations beyond. Puppy culture for confident self assured personalities. ENS and Early Scent introduction (ESI) to boast innate abilities. Mandatory health tests, DNA tests, structural exams and behavioral tests, all for an unbiased opinion to make better, best.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
