Dawn’s experience

  • About Dawn

    My Poodles are bred first and foremost to be loving family members possessing intelligence, sound structure, and a gentle demeanor. I’m passionate about raising well-rounded pups with the BAB curriculum. I do all that I can to provide the very best for each of my puppies - a clean environment, quality food, and lots of toys and socialization. I prepare all of my pups to excel in life.

    My focus is on maintaining the Poodle breed standard by raising structurally sound and correct puppies with excellent temperaments. I love being a breeder. It's so fulfilling to have the opportunity to create companionship and love and to see the positive effect that a beloved, furry companion can have on its family.
