Meet the breeder

I'm Vicki V., the breeder behind Grace Kennel located in Saint Cloud, MN. I am a breeder of Labradoodles and Poodles. Our dogs are born and raised in my home. All parents have their health testing and most have been used for therapy work. My goal is to produce puppies with excellent conformation and temperament. We do neurological stimulation (ENS) from 3 days of age followed by puppy culture training, UTD on vaccinations and deworming, a microchip, a veterinarian health check, well started on house training, and very well socialized. Raised with love and LOTS of attention. These puppies come with a health guarantee against any genetic faults for 2 years from delivery.

Q. & A. with Vicki

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I used to breed German Shepherds and English Springer Spaniels. Then due to life circumstances, I had to quit and when it was time that I could start again, I chose to breed Moyen Poodles and Multigenerational Mini/Medium Labradoodles.

  • What makes your program special?

    First of all, I love them. I start ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) training from 3 days of age to about 16 days of age. From there I do Puppy Culture with them. All of my parents are health tested. They come with a 2-year genetic health guarantee, are up-to-date on vaccinations and deworming, a microchip, a veterinarian health check, well started on potty training, and very well socialized.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our Poodle puppies include moyen and standard sizes. Labradoodle puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Poodle puppies are parti. Labradoodle puppies include caramel, apricot, chocolate, blue, silver, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    I got my Whitney from Vicki. Since I saw her picture I knew she was the one! It was nice to have Vicki supporting me in the journey of finding my next companion since I was looking for a dog to be trained as a service dog. All the work she does with the puppies is very helpful for their development and I truly got a gorgeous girl! She is smart, hilarious and a great stunning puppy. She answered my questions, was flexible and helpful since I had to travel long to get her.

    Vicki was so easy to work with when we found our pup. She responded quickly and answered all our questions thoroughly. Vicki has a great kennel set up and all pups seem happy healthy and well taken care of. Our pup has been a wonderful addition to our home. We are so amazed at how quickly he learns things! Anyone considering a poodle would be wise to talk to Vicki, her pups are healthy and adorable! Sarah
