Q. & A. with Misti
Why did you start breeding?
About 15 years ago I completely fell in love with Standard Poodles while working at a grooming facility. Out of all the breeds I worked with, I was drawn to their beauty, intelligence, and incredible behavior. They are well-mannered, loyal, and loving. That passion eventually grew into a dedication to raising healthy, well-socialized Standard Poodles that make wonderful family companions.What makes your program special?
Keeping my standards in my home with our family and raising their pups with us has been an important detail of our breeding. We don't raise them in kennels or pens. They sleep on the couch and play in the yard, go for long walks in the pastures and interact with our farm clients and other dogs.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, cafe au lait, cream, and silver-beige. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
