Q. & A. with Kaitlyn
Why did you start breeding?
I started really looking into breeding when I started my show career with my second and third poodles. When others met my first poodle they kept telling me how lovely she was and that we needed more happy friendly poodles in the world.What makes your program special?
Lyra, Lottie, and Comic; no but really. Lyra was my first poodle who was bred to be a competitive groom dog, she has coat for days. She hated competing so she lives her life as a certified therapy dog. Lottie my little spitfire became my absolute baby. She is intuitive to my needs, and my shadow. And Comic is my cuddly ding dong. My breeding program is special because my dogs are amazing.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 black, blue, cream, silver, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
