Q. & A. with Sharon
Why did you start breeding?
My interest in breeding my poodles began when I kept getting client dogs with all these health issues because they were not being properly heath tested. Although I know you can not predict everything it is my goal to help better the breed. Also to educate people on the importance of health testing and finding a good breeder.
What makes your program special?
We not only show our dogs to championship but we continue working them using their brains by doing AKC scent work and other activities.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
