Meet the breeder

I'm Denise C., the breeder behind My Buddies Puppies located in Chase, MI. I am having the time of my life with these beautiful fur-babies. I aim to produce the best of the best. I would like to provide handicapped and disabled veterans with a dog that can be a partner, companion, and friend. This is definitely the breed for that and I am loving every minute I get to spend raising these beautiful dogs. I raise my puppies with love and care and provide them with whatever they might need.

Q. & A. with Denise

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When my dad passed away my mom needed a friend. To give her some companionship I bought her a Pomeranian. A year later, she said that the Pomeranian was lonely so we bought a female. I had one litter and that opened the door. I was hooked. I have been breeding ever since. I have had several breeds and have loved every minute of it. When she passed away I promised I would continue to breed and do my best to produce the best pups I can. I honor my mother's legacy by working to produce the best possible puppies and finding them the most wonderful homes.

  • What makes your program special?

    My puppies are fully potty pad and crate trained before they leave. They are handled by many people so they are very social and friendly. They are vet checked at least twice before they go to their new homes. After they go home, I ask that my buyers send confirmation of their vet visits so that I can ensure the puppies are being thoroughly cared for. I stand behind each and every pup and refuse to do any less than my best.

  • 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 sable, black, brown, cafe au lait, red, silver-beige, parti, phantom, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Good level

My Buddies Puppies reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Standard Poodles.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

  • Animal Genetics Panel, OFA/CHIC DNA Repository

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
