Q. & A. with Katie
Why did you start breeding?
I was born and raised with poodles and had family friends that raised and showed. I went to many shows as a child and young adult, but never personally wanted to show. I started with a male Toy Poodle back in High School and after College I bought a home and decided to get a female from one of our show acquaintances, this was the beginning of my poodle journey!What makes your program special?
Our dogs are house pets and our puppies are spoiled from day one. We make sure our dogs meet breed standard, are happy, healthy, spoiled, and well taken care of. Our dogs are health tested and have a clean bill of health before breeding, and our puppies are very well taken care of. They are raised in-home as part of the family!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 black, brown, cafe au lait, and silver-beige. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Parent dogs
Delilah, mom
Poodle
About Delilah
Delilah is a very sweet girl who loves to explore outside and play with other animals. Things she loves are laying on the couch and having us compliment her babies and tell her how good of a mommy she is (She is a very proud girl). She is also a silly and loves to play with toys and get cuddled up with anyone who will pet her.
Good health testing
Maka, mom
Poodle
About Maka
Maka is our tomboy! She loves playing outside no matter the weather. Rain, snow, mud? She loves them all, even when there is so much she has to hop like a bunny to get through. Maka also loves people and is a super good hugger. She will jump up on you gently and ask for a hug or even likes to do a little dance. She would definitely spend all day outside if she could, but then when it is time for bed she comes in and lays upside-down to make us laugh.
Good health testing
Soul, dad
Poodle
About Soul
Soul is a total ham. He loves tennis balls, herding our goats, laying in bed with his head on a pillow (And yes, he drools), and cuddling with his humans. He is also very smart, if we leave him outside for too long he will actually ring the doorbell to ask to come in. Soul loves playing with all our animals and especially playing with the kiddos once they get a bit older. He is a very sweet and affectionate boy!
