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 red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?

Parent dogs
Macy, mom
Poodle
About Macy
Macy is steadfast and unwavering in her loyalty. Her favorite place is sitting calmly by my side so she can be close by but still keep an eye on what’s going on around her. She never hesitates to take charge as she is a natural leader but perfectly balanced by her loving and sweetly nurturing side. Her greetings are enthusiastic as she is so happy to share her love.
Max, dad
Poodle
About Max
Max has an astoundingly well-rounded personality. Smart, dedicated, and friendly, he loves everyone he meets. He is strikingly beautiful with his big expressive eyes and dark nose. Very obedient and is a wonderful companion.
Demi, mom
Poodle
About Demi
Demi is strikingly beautiful both inside and out. Her deep brown eyes speak her soul. Her temperament is stellar, cool, calm, and collected. Demi is balanced with an easy independence yet enjoys all the endless love and affection she receives. She loves every one, every dog and every animal alike. Demi is quite the snuggler but in a respectful way. She is a wonderful athlete and loves her walks, heeling with ease. Keenly intelligent she shines when it comes to obedience and learning new tasks. She is quite the darling with complete show potential while at the same time making such a loving and dear addition to our family.
Remi, dad
Poodle
About Remi
Remi is the newest member of our family pack. He is a beautiful deep dark red boy. We think of Remi as a gentle giant. He is a big boy, but a bit shy at first. He is such a lover, but never needy. He is always happy to have a belly rub, but just as happy to lay near any one of his family members, human and pup alike. Remi gets along with all four-legged friends he meets and is always polite. Remi’s intelligence shines, sometimes he figures out more than we would like. He really enjoys opening doors for himself and finding any way he can to get wherever he wants to go. He is quite a problem solver. Despite being the newest addition to our poodle family, he has such a big place in our hearts, just by being the silly, sweet, boy he is.
