Irene was amazing to work with! She made the process very simple and was understanding of our needs. She quickly responded to my messages and even shared photos/videos of our puppy on a daily basis! You can tell she takes great care of her puppies just like they’re family. Highly recommend Irene!! We love our new pup!!

The process with Irene was perfect. I had so many questions about our Holly girl and she was incredibly informative and helpful. We had lots and lots of photos and updates before pickup day. We have had our baby for about two weeks now. Her temperament is a dream and she is incredibly smart. Perfectly healthy and the light of our family's lives. I would definitely reccomend Irene as a breeder if you are searching for a poodle. If we ever consider a second puppy, we will surely be back 🩷🩷 Thank you Irene!
