I'm Elaine B., the breeder behind Chapel Hill Poodles located in Ottawa Lake, MI. We are breeders focusing on quality, health tests, great temperament, conformation, and good movement. We love our dogs! We take a great deal of time with our puppies to ready them for a balanced life, stimulation, love, grooming, training, and challenges. It is only after extensive research in finding a perfect mate that we begin the breeding process. We are improving the quality of each and every litter.
Q. & A. with Elaine
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to breed dogs that are well-balanced, healthy, and ready to face life with a wonderful loving family.
What makes your program special?
When puppies come into our lives, it is a big event, not an everyday routine. We know each puppy that has been homed. We stay in contact to see how they are growing and living. We cry, laugh, and cherish all the pictures we receive of our puppies in their new homes.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
