I'm the breeder behind Rare and Royal Pets located in Lake Elsinore, CA. We understand purposefully breeding in order to better our breed and the families that love them! Our breeding program started with wanting to create emotional support animals for the people suffering from isolation and depression during the pandemic & has positively affected many families !
About Destiny
My name is Destiny Lyons, I am a mother to a 2 year old boy and newborn boy/girl twins. I am a State-board licensed esthetician & I am a nursing student. My passion is people, and having maximum impact as long as I live! Through daily customer/client relationships and lifelong bonds I form through my poodle program I am full of gratitude that I have the power to positively affect so many people!
What makes Destiny’s program special
Aside from the unusual and jaw dropping aesthetics of Rare and Royal poodles— I can say my program is very intentional, and thought out . We did extensive research and sourced our dams and sires from all over the country. To gain access to the most exclusive bloodlines, we waited months and sometimes years for the right puppy. R&R was created with a purpose, and we’ve JUST STARTED to fulfill it!

Why Destiny started breeding
I have always loved animals, as a child I wanted nothing more to be a veterinarian—but the way God set my immune system up did not allow for that. Most of my childhood I suffered from severe allergies to: animals, foods and more. I was never allowed the joy of owning a pet growing up which is a huge hole in my childhood. I never want any immunocompromised child to experience the same lack.
