Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
I received my first poodle when I was 12, instantly I was hooked. I trained her to do many tricks. When my sweet penny past away years later, I was didn’t have a poodle for years. When I hit my 30s depression and anxiety consumed me, then came Sophie, my first Standard Poodle. She help so much, words cannot explain. And that is what I do now, my goal is to raise calm companions to help people.What makes your program special?
