I'm Carmen C., the breeder behind Little Paws Poodles located in Pueblo West, CO. Our prices reflect our commitment to our puppy families and to all the genetic testing we do to offer a lifetime guarantee on the genetic testing we do. Because we are seeing so many animals with severe illnesses and genetic problems that cost so much to upkeep and diagnose and cost is way more than the upfront cost of a puppy who has fully tested parents and come with a full guarantee. You will find them cheaper possibly but not much and most toy Poodle breeders do not genetic test a full panel. Sad to say. Cost to diagnose some things or do surgery to fix or just up keep for a health issue is usually several thousand dollars or more. Just a thought to keep in mind.
