Kurtz Poodles

Kallin K.

Breeder of Poodles

Meet the breeder

I'm Kallin K., the breeder behind Kurtz Poodles located in Apison, TN. Our puppies are family and raised by hand. The litters are AKC registered as well as both parents. We do not breed for business we give each one special care through development. We breed because we love standard poodles and enjoy every aspect of these canines and our dogs are proven hunters, therapy dogs, and have a loving temperament. We are very picky about the homes we place our dogs with. We have intermittent litters giving our females a year or more between litters to recover. Therefore we have limited litters. Currently, we have suspended breeding as we have retired our female. Thank you for visiting.
