This breed is incredibly intelligent, faithful, graceful, energetic, and the list goes on- but bottom line, they are an absolute joy to be around!
Q. & A. with Karla
Why did you start breeding?
I have a miniature poodle who is now 10 years old. From him, we fell in love with the breed. I always wished I had the opportunity to stud him because I would have loved a puppy from him. We decided to add a standard poodle to our family a few years ago and purchased the breeding rights so we could have that option if we so chose. The perfect opportunity lined up so we decided to breed her.
What makes your program special?
We are not in this for commercialism or profit. We are a family with loved family pets who want to extend the opportunity to others to also know the love we do for our poodles. Also making this a viable options to those who would otherwise be allergic to dogs.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue, cream, red, and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
