Q. & A. with Lluvia
What makes your program special?
As a lifelong dog lover, I am passionate about the breeds I love and matching them with the perfect families that will continue to make them thrive. I offer (as any breeder should) a lifetime of support as a member of my puppy family. All puppies are raised in my home (not a kennel), with puppy culture, and are temperament evaluated by myself to ensure the best match.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Poodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Excellent level
Sommer Standards & Chinese Cresteds reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Chinese Cresteds.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
