Hilmac Poodles

Hiltrud M.

Breeder of Poodles

Meet the breeder

I'm Hiltrud M., the breeder behind Hilmac Poodles located in Citrus County, FL. I'm a passionate, ethical breeder that focuses on preserving, protecting, and maintaining the standard of this magnificent breed. I am a small-scale breeder, allowing me to give each of my puppies, dogs, and litters the proper care and attention they each deserve. I am dedicated to providing happy, healthy, and well-socialized pups for others to welcome into their family. I love my pups and know you will love them, too. Pups go to their new home with a Veterinary Health Certificate and all age appropriate shots. All my poodles are AKC registered and all health testing recommended by the Poodle Club of America has been done. My companion pups are sold with a spay neuter agreement.
