Q. & A. with Dana
Why did you start breeding?
Determined to find a solution, I delved into months of research, seeking a breed that blended hunting prowess with hypoallergenic qualities. It was then that the Standard Poodle captured my heart. My commitment to preserving this exceptional breed led me to immerse myself in its history and explore avenues to make a positive impact.What makes your program special?
Emphasizing the importance of well-rounded development, we incorporate free stacking, scent games, and water exposure when weather permits. Basic training, initiated at a young age, prepares them to excel in classes. We conduct temperament testing at six weeks, ensuring each puppy is matched appropriately based on temperament.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 sable, black, blue, brown, red, parti, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
