Kirsten offers options to help you easily get your new puppy home.
If you’re nearby, you can visit in person to pick up your pup. If you’re far away, you can travel by car or plane.
“Most people find it is most cost efficient to drive to our house and pick up their puppy- plus they get to meet the mom too!”
Work with a trusted transporter to get your puppy comfortably dropped off at a meeting point close to home.
Why Kirsten started breeding
I’m allergic to a lot of animals and we decided to get a poodle from my sister who she was breeding, and since then we have never looked back! Poodles are such fun loving and human like animals, they are so personable and want to please you and be with you!
