I'm Sherry K., the breeder behind Genesis Poodles located in Licking, MO. Our Standard Poodles are raised in our home as valued family members. All health testing has been done as well as hip testing. The Puppy Culture program is started at three days old and done every day until the puppies leave our home at 10 weeks old. Our puppies go into their new homes and become service/therapy dogs. We love our dogs and what we do, and we strive to make each puppy a great contribution to his or her forever home.
