I'm the breeder behind Rosewood Standard Poodles located in Dora, MO. My dogs are health tested far beyond CHIC requirements and we enjoy competing in conformation and various performance and companion events! I only breed to improve and preserve the lines I have, so we don’t have puppies often. When I do though, raising them to be well-rounded, happy, and healthy is of the utmost importance to me!
About Katie
I was introduced to Standard Poodles just before I turned 8 years old. I had always loved dogs but I quickly fell in love with Poodles and everything that makes them different from other breeds.
What makes Katie’s program special
Structure, health, temperament, and versatility all play a big role in my program! I’m striving to improve the breed! My dogs are carefully evaluated both by myself and experts in the breed as well as proven in conformation and other sports and events before ever considering breeding. I also carefully pick the sire to each litter based off of what my specific goal is each time!
