Q. & A. with susan
Why did you start breeding?
I became a breeder over 20 years ago because I love the breed and want to share my love of Standard Poodles with others.
What makes your program special?
What makes my program special is the time and energy we invest in our puppies. They are handled multiple times a day and realize that people are their friends. They get the best of veterinarian care and come prespoiled.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, parti, phantom, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
