I'm Kathleen B., the breeder behind Keri Standard and Miniature Poodles located in Cleveland, OH. My experience breeding Poodles goes back decades. Over my years of experience breeding Poodles, I have accumulated a deep knowledge of the breed that I apply to my own breeding
program in the hopes of producing only the highest quality Poodles. I am a member of a number of Poodle clubs including, the Poodle Club of America, the Cleveland All-Breed Training Club, and the Western Reserve Poodle Club. My dogs and I are also active, and successful, in the competition ring where I compete in conformation, rally, and obedience with my dogs.
Q. & A. with Kathleen
Why did you start breeding?
I began breeding Poodles when I was a little girl. I fell in love with their intelligent, loving nature over 50 years ago, and haven't looked back. Since then I have become involved in the Poodle community in my local area as well as on the National level.
What makes your program special?
My Poodles are like members of my family. They live in my home with me, and receive all the attention and love that every dog deserves. I work to socialize my dogs from a young age, exposing them to a variety of sounds, smells, textures, and people. Enriching my dogs from puppyhood helps them to grow into the best dogs they can be.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot, black, and cream. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
