Q. & A. with Trish
Why did you start breeding?
We have always loved the poodle for their intelligence, athleticism and playfulness! We want to contribute to bettering the breed and that is why we health test and breed for personality and conformation to provide a long lived healthy poodle.
What makes your program special?
We are poodle crazy and believe that the pure bred poodle, fully health tested and socialized is the best dog for every home. This breed loves their humans and it is humbling to be so loved by them. We NEVER will have one of our pups end up in a shelter and part of our contract is if you can’t care for the animal we will take them back. They are part of our family for life!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
