Q. & A. with Nancy
Why did you start breeding?
When searching for my next standard poodle, I realized I traveled over 2 hrs to find one. I produce healthy, beautiful puppies by being responsible and conducting genetic testing. I take my job seriously, knowing my puppies will become someone's beloved pet. Each puppy is considered a member of my family, and I ensure they’re socialized, healthy, and prepared to excel in their forever homes.What makes your program special?
I do everything I can to ensure my puppies have what’s needed to develop into healthy and happy dogs. I strive to breed quality pups that fit any lifestyle. I’m devoted to ensuring there’s happy and healthy Poodles and mini dachshunds for others to enjoy. Poodles’ love, loyalty, & intelligence make them fantastic furbabies. Doxies’ loyalty, courageous and playful behavior is why they’re sought.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Poodle puppies include moyen and standard sizes. Bernedoodle puppies include medium and standard sizes. Dachshund puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Dachshund puppies include smooth and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Poodle puppies include sable, black, brown, cafe au lait, cream, parti, phantom, and brindle. Bernedoodle puppies include sable, black and white, tri-color, and phantom. Dachshund puppies include cream, red, blue and tan, chocolate and tan, chocolate and cream, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Nancy was awesome. She is a very knowledgeable and caring breeder and her love of what she does shows not only in the puppies, but her care and attention to the prospective adopters. You can ask her anything, anytime and she will get right back to you. I couldn't recommend her more. We've now had our pups for a month and things are going very well. Both are healthy and happy. Thanks Nancy for all you do.

+4Nancy is an amazing breeder and dog trainer, when I adopted Benny in June of 2023, he already had a great training foundation and was a quick and fast learner. Everyone who meets Benny is amazed by his disposition. Even as a puppy, he is one of the most calm, friendly, and gentle dogs I have encountered. Nancy was an amazing person to work with answering any questions I had fast and diligently. She and Good Dog made the process of paying and picking up easy. If you want to adopt a dog, she is absolutely the right person.

We want to take a minute to sincerely thank Nancy for the care and dedication she put into raising Blu (Skittles) our puppy. From the moment we brought Blu home, it was clear how well-socialized, healthy, and happy he was, a reflection of the love and attention he was provided early on. Nancy's knowledge and support in the first weeks made the process very reassuring for us. She provided us ways to navigate the transition that proved to be successful for both Blu and us! Knowing that she was there when we had a question, ready to understand and talk through options that would work for us was very comforting. From sending pics the day the pups were born, videos and pictures in their first weeks, through the selection process, the first vet visit, to periodic pics to enjoy prior to us brining Blu home, Nancy kept us involved. We feel very lucky to have connected with a breeder that prioritizes the pups and the families they will go to. Warmest Regards, Robert & Connie

We simply could not be happier with our puppy. Our experience with Nancy and Chocolate Pet Connection was perfect from start to finish. I only regret that we did not find her sooner. Our puppy is smart, playful, cooperative, and very, very happy. She has already brought so much joy to our family and we can't remember life without her! She's a quick learner and so, so eager to please. She's not easily rattled. She's very calm and fun to train. She LOVES our whole family and is an everyone-dog. I cannot praise Nancy enough for what a wonderful pup she brought into this world!
