Meet the breeder

I'm Erica G., the breeder behind Velvet Bear Poodles located in Saginaw, TX. Family-raised, healthy puppies. Our dogs are part of our home, raised with love, care and socialization for the best start in life. We fell in love with our dogs and wanted to share that joy with others. Our puppies are raised in our home with love, care, and socialization. We focus on health and temperament so each puppy grows into a happy, well-adjusted companion for life.

Q. & A. with Erica

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We got into breeding because of our deep love for our dogs. They brought so much joy, comfort, and companionship to our family that we wanted to share that same experience with others. What started as a passion for raising happy, healthy pets naturally grew into a small breeding program focused on giving families the best possible companions.

  • What makes your program special?

    What makes our breeding program special is the way we raise our puppies as part of our family. From the very beginning, they’re surrounded with love, attention, and socialization. Our goal is not just to place puppies in homes, but to match families with the perfect lifelong friend.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include toy and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable, apricot, black, brown, cream, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
