Q. & A. with Nicosia
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to venture into breeding because we initially wanted to find a companion for our female poodle. My children were so eager to have puppies, and we realized that while we couldn’t keep an entire litter, we could share the joy of furry love with others. The excitement of knowing we could help bring happiness to other families was genuinely inspiring. Watching this magical journey unfold—from the birth of the puppies to seeing them joyfully run in the grass as they grow—has been an amazing experience for all of us.What makes your program special?
What makes our breeding program unique is our deep commitment to the health, happiness, and well-being of our dogs and their puppies. We prioritize responsible breeding practices, ensuring each dog is carefully selected based on temperament, health, and breed standards. Our family-oriented approach means that each puppy is raised in a loving home environment, surrounded by children and other pets, helping them develop into well-adjusted companions. We take the time to socialize our puppies, exposing them to various experiences and environments to prepare them for their future homes. Our passion for animals drives us to support new puppy families, sharing our knowledge and resources to ensure a smooth transition. We believe in creating lasting connections with our puppy owners and fostering a community of fellow dog lovers. Ultimately, we aim to spread joy and companionship through our breeding program, one puppy at a time.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

Wonderful Experience with Nicosia – We Love Blue! From the very beginning, working with Nicosia felt like more than just finding a puppy—we were skeptical about a puppy online . She welcomed us into Blue’s journey with warmth, transparency, and so much heart. She gave all of the financial breakdown and I was impressed by her organization skills . We received regular photos that built excitement and made the wait special for our whole family, especially our kids. By the time Blue came home, we already felt connected to him—and he has been everything we hoped for and more. Blue is healthy, playful, and affectionate, with a sweet, resilient personality that fits right into our home. He came to us well-socialized, curious, and confident. Our kids absolutely adore him, and he’s been gentle, loving, and full of joy from day one. It’s clear that Nicosia puts so much care into raising her puppies—not just physically, but emotionally. She gave Blue a strong, loving foundation that we now get to build on as a family. If you’re looking for a breeder who truly loves her dogs and supports her families every step of the way, Nicosia is the one. She kept in touch the first week Blue was home and offered guidance and support in his transition . We are forever grateful for our sweet boy Blue and hope to add another pup to the family in the future .
