Why Kristy started breeding
Growing up, my parents raised toy and miniature poodles, and I was actively involved in their daily care. From feeding and grooming to playing and helping with whelping, I developed an understanding of what it takes to raise happy, healthy, and well-socialized puppies. Those experiences taught me responsibility & also ignited a lifelong passion for these intelligent and loving dogs.
