  • Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

    Yesterday we picked up our new puppy “Georgie! We lost our black miniature poodle of 11 years last week. I found Pat after lots of research finding the best breeder around the United States. I was willing to drive anywhere to get the best puppy. Pat came out on top and did not disappoint. She has been wonderful to work with. Very responsive and sure knows her puppies. Georgie is a beautiful little guy and is already potty trained and so smart.

    Miss Pat was a joy to do business with. She kept us informed of the growth and development of our little princess in a timely manner. She is more more than accommodating and is very thorough. She is just a dang good person. A blessing.

    Pat was wonderful throughout the whole process, she helped us select the right puppy to fit our needs, she gave us regular updates and pictures, and was extremely professional and supportive. We had a wonderful experience on pick up day!!! Our puppy had a strong foundation in potty training, easy to socialize with our other dogs, and easy to crate train. Pat pays attention to quality Dogs with her breeding program, and that is shown through the great temperament, athleticism, and confirmation. I highly recommend buying a puppy from Pat. We are so happy with our baby Torin.
