Meet the breeder

I'm Karin B., the breeder behind Karbit Poodles located in Killeen, TX. My poodles are primarily family pets, although some of our puppies have gone on to be successful in various performance events. They have beauty and brains! Health and soundness are my priority, all breeding dogs are healthy and extensive background research goes into every planned pair.

Q. & A. with Karin

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I first started with Great Danes and lived on a large farm and raised Arabian Horses. After my beloved Dinah passed away I was looking for a dog that had similar qualities to my Arabians. I wanted intelligence, health, versatility, people-oriented temperaments, soundness, and longevity. I was absolutely taken with the sire, Raven, of a litter of standard poodles. A gorgeous, masculine male, great substance, regal appearance, and a wonderful temperament. I just had to have one of his puppies.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our specialty are over-size Miniatures/small Standards, equal to the German Kleinpudel (also referred to as Moyens). We have found them to be the ideal family companions, smaller than a full size Standard, but large enough to "handle" children. They have consistent good drive, are willing to please, and are stable in temperament.
  • 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.

Great level

Karbit Poodles reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Standard Poodles.

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Genetic Diversity Test

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
