Delovely Standard Poodle’s & Rottweiler’s

Tonya B.

Breeder of Poodles and Rottweilers

Meet the breeder

I'm Tonya B., the breeder behind Delovely Standard Poodle’s & Rottweiler’s located in Salisbury, NC. We are dedicated to a healthy legacy. Here at Delovely Poodles, we strive for the whole essence of what a Standard Poodle is! Each of our breeding dogs is health tested before breeding, and we've also included the UC Davis Diversity testing into our program to keep a close eye on the diversity within our program and future pairings.

Q. & A. with Tonya

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Back around 2009, I became the owner of an adorable Miniature Poodle rescue. He was a matted mess! I fell in love with that little dog. Me being a large dog person (growing up I had Rottweilers), I set out to find a Standard Poodle. In 2011, as a teenager, I purchased Lacey; she was the first puppy I ever purchased and raised myself. Lacey is everything and even more than I could've ever asked for!
  • What makes your program special?

    Here at Delovely Poodles, I pride myself on providing my buyers with the healthiest puppies I can produce. I'm transparent about our puppies/dogs. Each puppy has a two-year genetic defect health guarantee. I stand behind each and every puppy that holds the Delovely name. I'm a humble, ordinary person who simply wants to share this extraordinary breed with other like-minded people.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Poodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
