Meet the breeder

I'm Kristy V., the breeder behind Carolina Great Danes & Toy Poodles located in Kannapolis, NC. Carolina Great Danes & Toy Poodles, located in Kannapolis, NC, specializes in raising healthy, well-socialized puppies with outstanding temperaments. Our goal is to produce loving companions that bring years of happiness to their families. We carefully breed for health, structure, and personality — focusing on temperament, size, and overall well-being.

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, black, 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?

    They live in my home.

    Kristy was great to work with. I got a wonderful little girl! Kristy was very helpful in answering all my questions. My puppy was delivered on time, and in good condition. It only took about a half an hour for her to settle in and begin playing. I took her to my vet yesterday and was checked out and I was told I got a good one! ( I already knew that!)

    Kristy was amazing during this process. She kept me informed about how my puppy was doing through written updates, photos, and videos. Delivery was so easy, and she kept in touch with me that day of delivery, even after I received my new fur baby. She is also very informative when you ask her questions. I highly recommend her and her dogs to anyone looking for a new family member.

    Kristy helped us navigate this process, which we’ve never done before. Our sweet puppy is perfect and everything we were looking for. It’s obvious she comes from great breeding stock and received excellent care as a newborn. She’s calm, loving, playful, and training her is an absolute breeze. We are so in love. Definitely recommend this breeder!

    Kristy was fabulous from start to finish. She kept in contact with me; she responded to emails almost immediately. She sent me pictures a couple of times and let me know when she took the puppy to the vet. She stayed in contact with me while the driver was delivering the puppy. I couldn't have asked for a better, kinder, more professional breeder.

    Kristy was amazing from start to finish! She made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process and truly cares about her puppies. My toy poodle is perfect healthy, sweet. You can tell they were raised with love. I’m so grateful I found her and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a puppy!
