Q. & A. with Kristy
Why did you start breeding?
Growing up, my parents raised Toy and Miniature Poodles, and I was always involved in their daily care. From feeding and grooming to playing and helping with whelping, I learned what it takes to raise happy, healthy, well-socialized puppies. Those early experiences taught me responsibility and sparked a lifelong passion for dogs.What makes your program special?
My breeding program stands out for its experience, care, and dedication. Helping my parents raise puppies as a child inspired my lifelong passion for responsible breeding. I focus on health, temperament, and early socialization to ensure every puppy is well-adjusted and ready for their new home.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Poodle puppies include toy and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Poodle puppies include apricot, cream, and red. Great Dane puppies include mantle merle, blue, harlequin, merle, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?

+5I recently adopted a toy poodle from Kristy and the experience could not have been better. From the beginning, Kristy kept me up to speed on my puppy's growth and provided pictures along the way leading up to her pick up day. Any questions I had she was able to answer and also provided plenty of information about the adoption process as well as my puppy's health information. It's been about a week and we are so in love with our pretty baby girl; she's healthy, happy, bright and so loving! I highly recommend reaching out to Kristy if you're interested in adding a new baby to your family.

Kristy is an amazing breeder. Throughout the process she answered all of my questions no matter how silly Onfelt they were. She also provided great suggestions for getting my home prepared as I am a first time dog owner. She made this experience seamless and without hiccup! I picked up my puppy with a go home kit, and continued support from Kristy . Kristy’s prep with the puppies made transitioning home a breeze! Soulaan is litter and puppy pad trained, another bonus. She adjusted home perfectly, having little to anxiety after we hit the road. Thank you Kristy for all that you do to prepare your pups for their new home. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone I know looking for her breeds!

Kristy was a great communicator! Prompt, responsive, available, knowledgeable, patient, dependable. She always gave me updates when I asked for extra info. She kept me informed of Betsy's growth and lots of pics! Answered all my questions and never felt like there was a dumb question. Delivery day was smooth and plenty of communication along the journey. I'm so pleased with the experience overall. Betsy is a doll!

Process was super easy. Kristy was super quick to respond to questions and provide information on all steps of the process. We even had a hiccup going to pick up the puppy (weather with flying) and her and her husband were so gracious and patient. Our pup is so sweet and healthy - couldn’t ask for anything better!

We had such a wonderful experience with Kristy. From the very beginning, she was so helpful, and made us feel confident about bringing our puppy home. She was very responsive and informative, giving us everything we needed to know as new puppy parents. Our toy poodle is absolutely adorable and we couldn’t be happier with him! He is such a sweet puppy, and it’s clear that Kristy puts a lot of care and love into raising her puppies.

This was a wonderful experience. I am a long time Dane owner and I have not received the amount of professionalism with any other breeder. Baloo came to us today via transport and within 2 hours he already ate, went to the bathroom and is now napping peacefully. Getting a Dane that is well cared for in puppyhood is essential given their size. I would recommend this breeder to anyone who wants a well adjusted pup.
