What made you decide to breed Toy Poodles?
I grew up on a farm and have always been an animal lover so the dogs keep me close to my roots. Since leaving the farm and starting my professional career, dogs were the easiest to have around. I had raised and shown working Australian Shepherds for some years then I ran across a Toy Poodle and fell in love. The dogs are my “escape” if you will. When I have a bad day, I come home to my dogs and they make everything better. It’s great therapy!
Toy Poodles are different from every other breed in that they are almost human-like. I’ve always said, “until you have a Toy Poodle, you just cannot understand the difference between them and the rest of the dogs.” I had to have one … then another. Now, I must confess, I am a Toy Poodle addict, hooked on Toy Poodles for life.

How are your dogs different from other breeders ?
I am told over and over again that my dogs are of higher quality than the other dogs that folks have seen. I greatly appreciate the kindness and compliments of others, but it has not been an easy task. After over a decade of establishing our line and type of dogs, the rewards are obvious.
Another of the most important qualities that I select for is the health of the dog. While some Toy Poodles are known to have horrible health issues costing high vet bills, I have chosen to go against the grain of history and breed exclusively healthy Toy Poodles. The duration of my experience has paid off, and I am proud to practically not have even a slight issue in any of my or my customer’s dogs. I believe that a dog should be a blessing to your home, and not a curse. Having a dog that is overly hyper, out of control, and/or riddled with health issues that cost thousands of dollars at the vet and countless trips to and from is not a blessing! I wouldn’t want that for myself and won’t pass it off onto my customers.
