Q. & A. with Bob

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I’ve had a strong lovefor animals and I desire to take care of them as far back as I can remember of expertise and I find it to be very enjoyable to help a new puppy into the world and watch it grow and develop into a beautiful happy healthy puppy. I was about 10 years old when I experienced my first puppy coming into the world. I was very lucky. Everything went well and it was an easy delivery.
  • What makes your program special?

    I chose to Breed standard poodles because they are so intelligent and you cannot find a more loyal animal than a poodle. They will be by your side, no matter what on good days bad days and really bad days. They will be right there by your side and never question why. they have unconditional love for you every day of the week an hour of the night
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    They live in my home.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Sebaceous Adenitis (SA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • DNA Disease Panel, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd)
