Q. & A. with Taylor
Why did you start breeding?
We live on a farm and grew up breeding horses. We bred World Champion horses when I was a child. We love poodles and made the decision to begin breeding to bring integrity, honesty and education to our local area. We breed for the love of the breed and with the hopes to offer a puppy that excels in every aspect.
What makes your program special?
Education! We educate our clients on what to look for, what to ask and expect when making the commitment of bringing a dog into their lives and families whether it be a puppy from our program or someone else’s. That being said we hold great pride in our dogs and their brilliance of body and mind.
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 brown, cream, silver-beige, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
