Q. & A. with Nicole
Why did you start breeding?
I had the opportunity to groom for a well known poodle breeder and knew one day I would have my very own poodles. I knew I wanted to improve and preserve this amazing breed.What makes your program special?
Before any talk of puppies, the parents are fully health tested above CHIC standards. I want to make sure I'm putting my best foot forward to produce a healthy, sound puppy. I utilize the puppy culture program to make sure my puppies are perfect for their new homes.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.
