Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Northeast TN Standard and Mini/Toy Poodles located in Johnson City, TN. I breed Poodles for temperament and health. Puppies are raised inside my home with neurological stimulation. They are vaccinated and have a wellness exam before going to their new home. I love my dogs and puppies, and it would be my pleasure to introduce your family to your next Poodle companion.
