  • Why did you start breeding?

    It all started out at owning a Morkie pup named Benji. He is now a whopping 12 years old! He has brought so much joy to our family. Since then, we decided to add another fur baby to our pack, Maggie Mae. And boy has she been a joy. lol! She has made such an impact to my life, that I wanted to share her wonderful disposition with the world. That's when Dogtastic Poodles was born.

    We got our poodle (Nacho), now named Otis, from Karen and couldn’t be happier! Karen was amazing to work with. She answered all of our questions and made the whole process smooth and stress free. Otis is doing fantastic, he’s healthy, happy, and has such a great temperament. You can tell Karen truly cares about her dogs and puts a lot of love into her breeding. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pup!

    I can’t say enough about how wonderful Karen was throughout the entire process of selecting a puppy! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond by sending videos of a particular puppy I was interested in. The entire process was straightforward and easy, and Karen was always available to answer any questions I had. Whether online or in person, it was clear that Karen genuinely cares about her puppies and is committed to ensuring they find the perfect homes. I wholeheartedly recommend Karen and Dogtastic Poodles to anyone looking for a loving, responsible breeder!

    After I picked up the puppy and spend a few days with her, I started to appreciate more and more the effort Karen put into the puppies to set them up for success: our angel baby is super well potty trained, only pee on the blue pads, she is confident curious and playful, she immediately knows crate is her safe space to rest, affectionate. I am really grateful for Karen’s love and effort on the puppies!

    Karen was so responsive and knowledgeable about the breed. You can tell they really care about their dogs. They stayed in touch and sent me regular updates on Mamba (formerly Avocado). Good Dog made the process so easy, from the initial connection with Karen to arranging pick up and paying securely. I'm so glad I found Karen through Good Dogs, and I couldn't be happier with Scout!.

    We are STANDARD parents since late 80’s. Many Thanks to Karen Belton( Dogtastic Poodles) concern for the breed and her puppies, was ready and willing to inform and help with a safe transfer when airlines and schedules got in the way of “normal”. We love our little ClaraBelle … She is a “sparkle” reflective of Karen’s and Maggie’s mothering skills.
