I'm Melissa M., the breeder behind MORGAN CREST POODLES located in Texas. We decided to start breeding to share the best possible puppies with great personalities, temperament, and health. We raise our dogs in the country with love. We like being able to match our puppies with families that are the perfect fit for their personalities.
