Figz Poodles
Meet the breeder
I'm Kerry H., the breeder behind Figz Poodles located in Cedar Park, TX. Before being bred, lots of time and money are put into our dogs to prove they are breed worthy. Each must past their health tests, including hips, heart, eyes, thyroid, genetic and disease panel screening. We like to show our dogs have “beauty and brains” so they are also titled in multiple areas.
Q. & A. with Kerry
Why did you start breeding?
It was apparent to us that our Poodles had beauty, brains, and excellent temperaments. All of which too wonderful to keep to ourselves, thus inspiring our breeding program! We believe in only breeding one litter at a time from health and genetically tested parents. All dogs/puppies live inside our home as beloved family members so they may be nurtured and grown to the best of their potential.What makes your program special?
We breed primarily for service and therapy temperaments. Our goal is to enrich the daily lives of children, adults, and veterans with physical and mental disabilities. Our dogs are our family members. They are kept in our home, not in a kennel, as beloved pets. They sleep in our beds and go everywhere possible. They are all genetically tested and titled.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
