Nystrom Clan Pups
Meet the breeder
I'm Tess C., the breeder behind Nystrom Clan Pups located in Laveen, AZ. I raise miniature and mini Moyen Poodles with love and care. My focus is on breeding poodles with sweet temperaments and strong family bonds, ensuring each puppy becomes a loyal, affectionate companion.
Q. & A. with Tess
Why did you start breeding?
My passion for breeding began with my first poodle. Her intelligence, affectionate nature, and hypoallergenic coat made her the perfect fit for our family—especially those with allergies. She quickly won all our hearts and inspired me to share the joy of poodles with others by starting a program focused on raising exceptional, family-ready companions.What makes your program special?
I prioritize quality over quantity, raising each puppy with care and purpose. From thoughtful pairings to early socialization and health screenings, I prepare every puppy to be a confident, healthy companion. Raised in a clean, loving home, they begin basic training early. I value lasting relationships with adoptive families—because breeding is about meaningful connection, not just puppies.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and moyen sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
