About Darren
Growing up, I was always surrounded by animals. I became the youngest bird breeder/exhibitor in Florida at the age of 8. I became grooming dogs after obtaining my cosmetologist license. I worked at a veterinarian's office and learned the proper care for them. After grooming dogs I became a fan of the poodle. I obtained my first Poodle from a handler/breeder. My dogs are Conformation Champions.
What makes Darren’s program special
All dogs and puppies are raised inside my home! The parents are pets as well in the home. All breeding dogs have had testing including O.F.A, DNA diversity profile along with DNA genetic disease testing. My dogs are shown and have become conformation champions. Being single and working from home allows me to be with my dogs the average of 20 hours a day. I have several animal doctors in.

My pups are on a schedule to give then structure to training, regular guests including family, friends, and adoption people. They ride in the car, sleep in kennels, also going to the doctor allows them to be socialized with medical staff as well as other patients visiting. The pups are familiar with vacuum cleaning, lawn mover, car horns, the sound of heavy trash and recycling trucks, phone rings, constant contact with me and roommate, TV and computer noise.
All puppies are wormed every 2 weeks. The puppies at 8 weeks receive Florida State health certificates along with vaccinations including Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Canine Parvo, and Bordetella. The dog is checked head to toe by the doctor, weighted and fecal testing for parasites. A microchipped is also placed inside the pup.

While Ramzees Poodles hasn’t shared specifics yet, we encourage you to reach out directly to learn what thoughtful extras they may include to help your puppy transition comfortably into their new home.
Why Darren started breeding
I was introduced to the Poodle from working as a groomer. After 5 years I knew I wanted to own one. The breeder who I received my first dog from saw a picture of him on FB. She asked if I had fixed him yet because he would be a great show dog. That dog soon became a Confirmation Champion. I then acquired a girl that became a Champion as well. Working from home single with no children breeding dogs.
