Q. & A. with Elizabeth
Why did you start breeding?
I joined a poodle club & quickly learned about showing and breeding this versatile & remarkable breed. I had many mentors who taught me how to do the show trims & all about breeding poodles.
What makes your program special?
All puppies are home raised using our 12 Step Puppy Socialization/Conditioning Program. Puppies are Vet checked at 6 wks, dewormed every 2 weeks & properly vaccinated. Tails are docked according to Poodle Club of America guidelines & declaws removed. Puppies are microchipped & parents are genetic tested, OFA hips, Patellas and Cerf for eyes. Check us out on fb Poodle Dreams for more photos, etc.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, brown, parti, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
