Meet the breeder

I'm Tyisha H., the breeder behind TK Poodles located in Belleville, NJ. We breed for health & temperament primarily. Colors are a bonus! Genetic and OFA health testing is key component of our program. Our puppies are raised using the BAB curriculum which has proven to greatly improve outcomes for puppies and their families.

Q. & A. with Tyisha

  • Why did you start breeding?

    A decade ago, my husband and I purchased Chloe, a crème toy poodle. It was then when we fell in love with the breed. Shortly after Chole joined our family, Kadeem and I purchased our first home along with London, a red miniature poodle. London was the perfect addition to our family and the perfect sister for Chole. London’s temperament, beauty, color and fun size was captivating, we were completely in love. I said to my husband, “every family needs a London.” At that moment TK Poodles was established.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our program is home-based and our dogs are apart of our family. Breeding is done responsibly and intentionally. Health testing, ENS, ESI, Socialization, Litter box training, grooming exposure and temperament testing are just some key components of our program.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    Tyisha and her family (together, TK Poodles) lovingly raise the cutest, best socialized pups we could imagine. We now have our male Mini Poodle Brady 8 months, and he has matured to be a well behaved young dog that retains all of his puppy curiosity and energy while constantly displaying his intelligence and eagerness to be part of our family. We both adore him. For his first 8 weeks, Tyisha and her family instilled confidence and adaptiveness into the puppy, closely leading him through education and play which has resulted in his becoming unafraid of noise, people and other animals. He was rock solid during the recent July 4 fireworks (most of our neighbors stated that their pets were frightened of the nearby loud sounds) and -- of course -- our pup is the "mayor" of the dog park! Let him in, and he sprints to the other dogs barking, "Hi, I'm Brady!!!". Seriously, Tyisha was (and continues to be) a source of great advice, support and enthusiasm for our journey. This has been particularly helpful to us as first time puppy owners. Oh, and the litters of red Poodles of various sizes are absolutely beautiful -- we get constant compliments. Thanks, Tyisha!

    We got our puppy Toby from TK Poodles and couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the whole process. It’s clear she truly cares about her dogs and the families they go to. Toby is healthy, smart, and has been such a sweet and loving addition to our home. We’re so grateful to have found Tyisha and would absolutely get another puppy from her in the future!

    We had an amazing experience with Tyisha from TK Poodles. She was incredibly responsive and very knowledgeable about the breed. As first-time dog parents, we truly appreciated how helpful Tyisha was in providing guidance and answering all our questions. Even after bringing our little Zazu home, she continued to follow up with us to ensure everything was going smoothly. We truly appreciate all the help, Tyisha, and are so grateful for your support throughout the process!

    Tyisha is amazing and we absolutely love our new puppy! Tyisha is responsive and knowledgeable, helpful both before and after we brought our puppy home. The puppy is absolutely wonderful and clearly well bred and cared for, prepped for city life and to be trained! We are so grateful to Tyisha and so glad we found TK poodles. People stop me on the street to ask where we got such a cute and calm puppy. I am thrilled to give them TK Poodles’ info!

    From our first call on, Tyisha was so knowledgeable, responsive, and patient. You can tell right away how much love she has and pours into all her puppies, and how important it is to her that they find loving homes. Even after we brought our puppy home, Tyisha made herself available to answer questions and help us settle in. She puts in so much work before the puppies come home to set them up for success; it only took our pup a few days to master crate and wee pad training because of all the work she had done while at TK! We truly feel part of the TK family and are so thankful every day for how our pup fills our lives with love!

    We had a wonderful experience with TK poodles! She cares so much about each and every one of her dogs and went that extra mile to make sure that we found the perfect fit for our family. She made the entire process so easy and even sent us home with a goody bag to help us make our puppy feel at home! She takes so much pride in her dogs and in the breed. It shows with how GORGEOUS, healthy and happy her dogs are! We named our sweet mini Fable and absolutely adore him. He lights up our whole family and has brought us so much joy. He’s incredibly smart and sweet. I can’t thank her enough honestly. I’ll likely reach out again if we decided to get another puppy. I highly recommend TK poodles to anyone looking to adopt.
