We are dedicated to providing families with wonderful family pets.
Q. & A. with Kati & Marco
Why did you start breeding?
We searched a long time for a great breed. The Poochon is new (1990's) combination of the Bichon Frise and Mini Poodle and is perfect! Intelligent, trainable, affectionate, small size, does not shed-great for those w/allergies, is an alert dog-not yappy or overbearing, energetic yet loves to lounge. We have been so pleased we wanted to share this cute teddy bear with others, providing top quality!What makes your program special?
We take the growth and development of our puppies very seriously. We have selected/genetically tested the parents to ensure best health and beauty of future litters-considering genetic/physical health, coat color, possible unique heterochromia, body shape, temperament, and intelligence. We use the Puppy Culture Program for best practices of growth and development of all of our dogs. We microchip!What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, merle, phantom, parti, black phantom, white, chocolate, black and white, black, and apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Litter and program updates
Kati & Marco P.
Program update on 24 Aug. •…Willow is 4.5 months now and such a joy! She is very cuddly, loves to run and play with her family of dogs and people, she is loving to all she meets and curious! She has recently started to enjoy splashing in water! Such a funny girl! She is very quick to master “brain engaging” toys. She is fully crate trained without issues. And becoming a potty trained champ with us noticing her cues. She is short in stature like her mom and a super fluff ball with the cutest crook at the tip of her tail. She has had several meet and greets at our home, with the potential new owners pulling out for various unfortunate reasons. Will you commit to love her and provide her the best home? She deserves the best! 💗
Kati & Marco P.
Litter update on 08 Aug. •…Having lots of cuddle and playtime with Willow. She is so sweet and spunky and turning into a wonderful pup. She is allllll fluff! Making her size deceiving. She is smaller in weight and shorter in height like her Mama Bean. Making her a nice pup for someone looking for a Poochon that is on the smaller size. Is that someone you?

Kati was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend buying a puppy from her. She is a small time breeder who raised social and even tempered dogs. She even walked me through the entire process of having a puppy for the first time (even the costs of having a puppy). We are happy with our little Shlyo.
