Q. & A. with Anita
Why did you start breeding?
In 2023 I was gifted 3 AKC Standard Poodles by a friend, with the knowledge that I wanted to produce and train Service Dogs. This allowed me to start planning and implementing a breeding program specifically to produce dogs suitable to be trained as Service Dogs.
What makes your program special?
My AKC Poodles are genetically tested and cleared of genetic diseases and defects. I am actively involved in every moment of the birth, feeding, caring, and training of each puppy.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Poodle puppies are standard size. Aussiedoodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Poodle puppies include black, cafe au lait, white, and parti. Aussiedoodle puppies include brown and white, black and white, and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

My husband and I adopted Belle, a parti-colored standard poodle, from Anita of Covington Acres. I visited the breeder twice before choosing our new 4 month old puppy. I chose Belle because she had a sweet trusting nature like her mother, whom we also met on the first visit.
Belle has proved to be a healthy puppy, and we were correct about her sweet tempered character. She is quite smart and always tries to do everything she can to please us and follow the rules of the house. Although she was shaggy when I brought her home, and I couldn't quite see what she looked like, I chose her for her temper and nature. The big bonus was how beautiful she proved to be once the groomer got her hands on our puppy. Belle is everything one could want in a puppy.
If I could make some suggestions to Anita, it would be voluntarily to send the puppy home with all up to date shots for the dog's age, and also with an ear check as Belle has a clogged ear that we have been fighting since the groomer pointed out the problem to us.

Anita was so responsive, despite our time difference & really cares about who the puppies are going to. She does genetic testing on the parents & produces puppies with wonderful temperaments. My puppy has been a delight to finally have home.
