Each puppy Receives Age-appropriate vaccinations, and regular deworming to ensure a healthy start in their new home. For AKC Poodles, most of them will be AKC registered.

Verified owner · June 2026
I just brought home my toy poodle, Cherry, from Kathy and couldn't be happier. From our very first message, she was warm and incredibly responsive — always quick to answer every question and put us at ease. She even went above and beyond to meet me at an airport two hours from her home to hand off Cherry, which meant the world to me. Cherry is absolutely perfect — confident, socialized, healthy, and the sweetest little personality. The whole experience felt less like a transaction and more like being welcomed into a family. If you're looking for a breeder who genuinely cares about her dogs and the families they go to, look no further. Thank you, Kathy!
