Q. & A. with Liz
Why did you start breeding?
I believe that purposeful and ethical breeding is so important for the healthy progression of the Poodle. I don't breed often, but I always do it as responsibly as possible. I strive to not only produce beautiful puppies and continue my show line, but to help set the standard for ethical breeding practices in order to ensure that the Poodle will continue to thrive for generations to come!
What makes your program special?
I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. My goal is to produce gorgeous puppies with sound conformation, great health, and wonderful temperament. I carefully plan each litter and hand-raise each and every puppy to ensure that it is well-rounded and prepared to excel with its new family. I am very proud of the lineage of my stock as well! While many of my dogs have made exceptional show prospects, all of them have become excellent family dogs and lifelong friends!

Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
