Poodle
About Ivy
Pretty Little Poison, lovingly known as Ivy, is a striking Standard Poodle who weighs in at 55 pounds and stands 22 inches at the shoulder. She is every bit as bold and unforgettable as her name suggests, with a presence that captures attention the moment she walks into a room. Ivy is spunky and full of life, bringing an energy that lights up our home. Her playful spirit makes her the perfect companion for a game of fetch or an adventure outdoors, yet she easily transitions into a calm and affectionate housemate when it’s time to relax. She thrives on interaction, always quick to greet new people with enthusiasm, and her friendly nature makes her a joy to be around. Beneath her beauty and confidence lies a heart that wants nothing more than to please. Whether she’s training, learning new skills, or simply being part of daily family life, Ivy approaches everything with eagerness and loyalty. Her intelligence and willingness to engage make her not only a delight to raise but also a dog who will pass down her steadiness, sociability, and charm to her future puppies. With her balance of elegance, athleticism, and affectionate personality, Ivy represents everything we strive for in our program: a dog who is not only genetically sound and physically stunning, but also a cherished member of the family.

About Winston
Sir Winston Stirling is the complete package — a striking boy who balances beauty, brains, and heart. He stands 26 inches at the shoulder, weighs a lean 58 pounds, and is 100% genetically clear, making him an ideal choice for breeders focused on health and longevity. Winston is also fully titled, proving his structure, intelligence, and trainability in the ring. But what truly sets Winston apart is his temperament. He is the definition of calm and steady, a dog who moves through life with quiet confidence and gentle sweetness. Whether at home, in public, or working, Winston is unfailingly composed, affectionate, and people-oriented. These qualities aren’t just his own — he reliably passes this wonderful temperament on to his puppies, giving them the best start possible. Winston is more than just a stud dog — he’s a trusted companion, a proven sire of large litters, and a shining example of what makes this breed so special. His puppies carry forward not only his good looks and strong genetics, but also his easygoing, family-friendly nature. Sir Winston Stirling is available for stud to approved females. If you’re seeking a sire who will produce well-rounded, healthy, and truly exceptional puppies, Winston is the boy to make it happen.

Kristi was awesome to work with from the start and has continued to help us have a smooth transition with our beautiful new fur baby. Macie came to us with great socialization, wonderful disposition and so much puppy fun. We couldn’t be happier and I would definitely recommend Kristi/The Klepper Homestead!!!

+5Writing this review for Ms Kristi and the Klepper homestead I can barely think of any words to express my partner and I’s gratitude for this thoughtful woman and all her experience! We have never felt more secure in any purchase let alone such a large and life-changing one. My partner and I are residents of Virginia Beach, VA and made the journey to get our puppy from Ms Klepper and her homestead in Monroe, NC. Kristi has such an eye for detail and is impressively thoughtful and our new fur baby Wolfie is a perfect example of her care! By 2 months old he knows his name and is potty trained due to the wonderful foundation Kristi laid for him. She made sure to keep us updated in every step of his growth and the adoption process. We received his weekly measurements, loads of photos/videos, and she even even let us video chat with him whenever we requested. Any questions or concerns we could come up with she had information handy to help us feel comfortable and ready. Upon picking him up we received an incredibly convenient care package as well as all our puppy’s documentation including vet /microchipping records & everything needed for him to be registered. Kristi has really thought of everything and we could not be more impressed and grateful! Her exceptional performance as a breeder has me recommending her to any and everyone I know in search of a puppy.
