Q. & A. with celia
Why did you start breeding?
My grandmother showed and bred Poodles and my father was a canine police officer. I’ve been involved with breeding, showing, and training dogs my whole life. Begining my own breeding program was the natural thing to do!
What makes your program special?
We have many years of dedication and experience with the breed. We carefully study and selection of what meets our breed standard and test all our breeding stock. We prioritize placing our puppies in suitable homes.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
