Q. & A. with Pamela
Why did you start breeding?
My grandparents used to breed toy poodles so I have been around them my entire life. When I got my first standard poodle I absolutely fell in love with the intelligence and temperament of the larger poodles. She is the most amazing dog I have ever owned or met.What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised in our home with our 5 children and other dogs. They are handled from birth, raised with early neurological stimulation, raised in our home and therefore exposed to everyday noises and sounds and come from health tested parents.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
