When I met my husband, I had no idea we both shared a love for poodles. I grew up with standard poodles, while my husband adored his cockapoo so much that he even included him in his high school senior portrait! It was clear we were a match made in poodle heaven.

​

Given my husband's and oldest son's allergies, a poodle was the perfect choice for our first family dog. Breeding, however, was not initially on our radar. With no family background in breeding, we had zero experience in the field.

That changed when we welcomed our first red miniature poodle. I found myself deeply engrossed in researching and studying poodles day in and day out. Balancing this with my full-time job and raising our small children, it quickly became my passion.

​

As a puppy buyer myself, I experienced the challenges of finding a trustworthy breeder. I’ve seen the difference between a puppy raised in a loving family home and one raised in other conditions. Proper socialization in the first 16 weeks is crucial for a puppy's interaction with other dogs and people throughout its life.

​

Motivated by these experiences, I created a breeding program that shatters stereotypes and fosters trust in quality breeders. Ensuring our dogs receive the respect, love, and spoiling they deserve is my top priority. With my husband's support, I pursued this dream and feel grateful to do what I love every day.

 

Running a successful breeding program truly takes a village. We're fortunate to be near the best reproductive vet in the Houston area, whose knowledgeable and caring staff treat us and our dogs like family. We also rely on our amazing Guardian families, who provide our breeding moms and dads with lifelong love and attention. One of our Guardians even whelps and raises puppies in her home under our close supervision!

​

The relationships I’ve built through this journey have been the icing on the cake. I cherish my connections with fellow breeders and have mentored a family member in starting their own in-home poodle breeding program. I stay in touch with many of our puppy buyers, sharing in their joy as they send photos of their happy, smiling pets. Each photo reminds me why I have the best job in the world. As Confucius once said, "Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life."
