Why did you start breeding?

After researching pedigrees, genetics, and responsible breeding practices, I chose to build a small, intentional program focused on quality over quantity.

Dogs are raised in-home with close attention to early development and socialization. I focus on carefully planned pairings and maintaining a cohesive vision — elegant Toy Poodles with balanced temperament, sound conformation, and a refined gothic-inspired aesthetic.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are toy size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
