I'm Dionicio o., the breeder behind RAYO KENNELZ located in Hayward, CA. Our focus is to produce the best dogs of the highest quality so that other families can also enjoy the love of a Poodle. These dogs have proven to be wonderful companions in our lives. It is a privilege to be able to share that love and friendship with others through responsible breeding.
Q. & A. with Dionicio
Why did you start breeding?
As I mentioned before my family has a lot of experience in construction, and we've become the type of people who choose to use their craft in order to create not only a better home for ourselves but our furry loved ones as well. Growing up I was given the life experience of hard work, and not only by means of physical labor but by learning how to care for others with patience and compassion.
What makes your program special?
Our program is special, for the soul reason being that we come from generations of hard working people. Meaning we look forward in seeing others benefit from our hard work and dedication, whether it's building a house, parking lot, or taking care of our pets and one another. We let our work talk for itself, being raising healthy loving animals no matter the size!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot, black, red, white, parti, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
