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.
