I'm Michelle M., the breeder behind Raveno Poms located in Tacoma, WA. We are a very small hobby breeding program, focusing on healthy happy companion dogs. Our dogs are close family members, all are part of the household and are raised around other dogs, children, and different people. All breeding dogs are Embark tested. We go to great lengths to produce healthy companion dogs.
Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
I bred Poms many years ago but eventually life happened and decided to take a break since my then breeding momma retired. After losing my heart pom due to old age, I decided to start breeding again.
What makes your program special?
My breeding program is special because all of my dogs live in and are raised in our home as part of our family. We are very small and only have puppies available occasionally.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and tan parti, black, chocolate and tan, cream sable, and chocolate merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
