Meet the breeder

I'm Nina B., the breeder behind Pet Guardian Smart Kennels, LLC located in Edgefield, SC. Poppi is our healthy, affectionate toy poodle with a gentle temperament and the intelligence and elegance typical of her breed. She thrives in a family environment, and we’re excited to breed her to continue her line and raise happy, well-rounded puppies.

Q. & A. with Nina

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding through my lifelong love of animals and hands-on experience caring for pets. Running a pet boarding business allowed me to learn about animal behavior, health, and socialization, and raising litters of Double Doodles showed me the joy of nurturing puppies from birth. Breeding Poppi is a natural extension of that passion, letting me share healthy, loving puppies with families.

  • What makes your program special?

    What makes my breeding program special is the personal care and love I put into every stage of a puppy’s life. From raising Poppi and her puppies in our home to nurturing their personalities and social skills, I treat each one like a family member. It’s deeply rewarding to watch them grow and to help match them with families who will love them as much as I do.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are toy size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include apricot and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
