Why Karen started breeding
It all started out at owning a Morkie pup named Benji. He is now a whopping 12 years old! He has brought so much joy to our family. Since then, we decided to add another fur baby to our pack, Maggie Mae. And boy has she been a joy. lol! She has made such an impact to my life, that I wanted to share her wonderful disposition with the world. That's when Dogtastic Poodles was born.

Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
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.
