    Tisha was very responsive and knowledgeable. We had a lot of questions, and she took the time to make sure we understood everything before welcoming our new puppy. They care deeply for their animals which is very apparent after multiple conversations. Top notch breeder, communicator and animal lover. We are so happy to have found Enjoy Life Poodles.

    We’ve had such a wonderful experience working with Tisha! Tisha has been amazing with communication, always keeping us updated, sharing photos and videos, and letting us know about our puppies progress every step of the way. She’s also been so welcoming and has allowed us to visit frequently, which has meant so much to us. It’s clear how much Tisha cares about her dogs. We can’t wait to bring our sweet girl home next week! Highly recommend!

    From the first phone call with Tisha, I could tell how dedicated and protective she was of her pups. She has been very knowledgeable and communicates puppy progress frequently... and if you're jonesing for a pupdate, she's just a call or text away. I could not be happier with my experience with Tisha, and I know I am getting the best puppy I could possibly ask for to complete my little family. Thanks for all you do, Tisha, and thanks for being you!

    From day one, Tisha was so communicative and informative about her pups. We can tell that these dogs are an integral part of their family, and they love and care for each and every puppy. We are so excited to bring our puppy home tomorrow and we would love to work with Tisha’s family again!!

    From the very beginning, working with Tisha was an amazing experience. She was incredibly responsive and always took the time to answer any questions we had. It was clear right away how knowledgeable she is about her dogs and the breed as a whole, which gave us so much confidence throughout the process. What stood out to us most was how deeply she cares for her dogs. She puts so much love, attention, and intention into raising them, and it shows in their temperaments and health. We felt supported every step of the way and are so grateful to have found a breeder who is both professional and genuinely passionate about what she does!

    Tisha is wonderful to work with. She is warm and friendly and obviously cares a great deal for her dogs. Theodore is a wonderful puppy. The early training Tisha gives her puppies is awesome and makes the transition to a new home very easy. Theo is a delight.
