I'm Christine F., the breeder behind Puppy Love Palace at HB Farm located in Silver Springs, FL. The Puppy Palace is a 320-sq-foot "puppy infirmary" dedicated to keeping the pups in a clean and safe environment as they wean and learn social skills; this means we get to play with them every day!
Q. & A. with Christine
Why did you start breeding?
I am a nurse who should have become a veterinarian because I LOVE dogs. I have owned dogs all of my adult life and for many years have wanted to breed them, on a small scale, I guess because I think so many other people need to give and receive the love of a special dog.
What makes your program special?
We aren't so special, but we do care very much about the health and safety of our animals, especially our dams. We will breed each dam only once per year, and for a maximum of 3-4 litters. We also will allow our buyers to visit their pups by appointment during the weaning and socializing stages, should they desire. Careful isolation precautions will be required for this. We will also not allow our pups to go to their forever homes until a minimum of 8 weeks of age; the Yorkies, depending on size, may not be able to go to their forever homes until week 10.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Maltipoo puppies include cafe au lait and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We had an amazing experience with Christine from Puppy Love Palace! She kept us updated almost daily with photos and videos, making the wait so exciting. Our Maltipoo puppy is perfectly healthy, friendly, and well-socialized—a true joy! Christine’s dedication and love for her dogs are evident in everything she does. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend her!

I had a wonderful experience working with Christine at Puppy Love Palace to get my little boy Tobi. She sent lots of videos and pictures along the way and even held a Zoom Call so that I could meet Tobi before he was ready to come home. Christine was very reassuring and helped calm my fears and concerns over buying a puppy through an online service. She was always available to call or text me when I had any questions. Delivery of Tobi to my home was smooth and handled with loving care. I am so in love with my new puppy and so glad I chose to work with Good Dog and Puppy Love Palace especially!
