Q. & A. with Darren
Why did you start breeding?
I was introduced to the Poodle from working as a groomer. After 5 years I knew I wanted to own one. The breeder who I received my first dog from saw a picture of him on FB. She asked if I had fixed him yet because he would be a great show dog. That dog soon became a Confirmation Champion. I then acquired a girl that became a Champion as well. Working from home single with no children breeding dogs.
What makes your program special?
All dogs and puppies are raised inside my home! The parents are pets as well in the home. All breeding dogs have had testing including O.F.A, DNA diversity profile along with DNA genetic disease testing. My dogs are shown and have become conformation champions. Being single and working from home allows me to be with my dogs the average of 20 hours a day. I have several animal doctors in.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
