I'm April S., the breeder behind Cityscape Moyen Poodles located in Dallas, TX. Their complimentary size is great for most lifestyles. We focus on breeding for temperament and correct structure, with non-fading colors as the final consideration. Our dogs are active in sports and agility, and are titled working on championships.
Q. & A. with April
Why did you start breeding?
My paternal grandmother had Schnauzers, and although they were beautiful dogs, they weren't always well-behaved. Inspired by her setup, with the lavish gardens and beautiful dogs, I knew I wanted to breed dogs that were both beautiful and well-behaved.
Soon, I decided to start breeding, and that's when I found my first Poodle. I was so lucky because she has been the best dog I've ever had!
