Betse Curtis's Poodles
Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Betse Curtis's Poodles located in Northampton, MA. I love Poodles! They are the most incredible breed. I am passionate about breeding healthy, beautiful Poodles with great temperaments with generations of testing. I am trying to do everything I can to make sure you bring a well-rounded puppy into your own home.
Q. & A. with Betse
Why did you start breeding?
I have wanted to breed for 20 years. Unfortunately, I got 2 females that both had health issues. They were great dogs & lived great lives (one was a fabulous therapy dog at a local hospital) but I could not breed them. I decided to get my next female from a reputable breeder that had done generations of health testing and could be a mentor. In 2016 I got a miniature poodle bitch from Kiyara Poodles.What makes your program special?
I believe it begins with the pedigree of the female I purchased. It is a small, home-based breeding program. I am dedicated to breeding healthy puppies with sound temperaments. I am also dedicated to learning as much as possible about the breed standards and breeding to continually improve the line.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Patellar Luxation
