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 is a reputable and trusted breeder if you are in the market for a Great Dane. The process was quick and easy, but I received all the information necessary to take care of Sandra Dee. This was the only thing my son wanted for Christmas, and he could not be more thrilled.

    From start to finish, Kristy was always professional and incredibly helpful with any and all inquiries I had! I love watching Jasper grow into the intelligent, healthy pup that he is! If you have the pleasure of meeting Kristy or her husband in person; you can tell how much care and pride they have in their dogs. Do not hesitate to get a puppy from them, you won’t regret it!
