Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
We have always enjoyed family pets, and we always had Labrador Retrievers. We fell in love with Poodles for their amazing family oriented personalities and hypo-allergenic tendencies.
What makes your program special?
Because one of my children became severely allergic to our Lab, we couldn't get another one. I began to do research into a family pet that was "non shedding" and thus began our journey into a LOVE for standard poodles. I was surprised at how intelligent, lovable and awesome Standard Poodles were! I love our dogs and it's important to us to ensure that they are genetically sound, free from any diseases that plague the breed. They have definitely become our favorite dog breed.
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 apricot, black, brown, cafe au lait, cream, red, gray, silver-beige, white, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
