Johanna’s experience

  • About Johanna

    Joyful Poodles are AKC registered puppies. My family bred and raised Cocker Spaniels, goats, chickens, and horses. As a young adult, I bred and raised Australian Shepherds. What I love about poodles is their unique personality. My two poodles are very athletic, outside running around together a lot. When not running around, they can be found lounging near or on me or out in the shop with Jim.

  • What makes Johanna’s program special

    Our dogs are born in our house and are raised using Puppy Culture protocols. What our owners get are puppies that are used to many sounds, smells and textures. They adapt well and are not usually anxious. They love people and being loved on. They will have started house training and kennel training.
