About Pat
I am a retired educator and dog lover. I'm involved in conformation and agility. I am an AKC Registered Breeder. My husband and I are involved with the San Diego Poodle Club and the Del Sur Kennel Club. As a breeder, I work hard to produce healthy, well-rounded puppies that can make other families and individuals just as happy as my dogs have made me!
What makes Pat’s program special
Extensive health testing is done on each breeding dog and I provide each one with love, high-quality food, and special care. I cherish each of my dogs and puppies, and I do everything I can to make sure that they get the best lives possible. That includes everything from choosing healthy parents with good temperaments, to proper socialization and daily care, to placing them in loving homes with wonderful families.

Puppies grow up in our home with their mother and they are socialized and handled frequently by myself, my family, and a few trusted friends. Puppies play together and separately. We begin teaching them to sit before they go to their new homes and they are introduced to crate training at night around 8 weeks of age. We follow the Puppy Culture recommendations for a well-adjusted puppy. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Daily handling, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Scent introduction, Socialized in new places, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, Various sounds, Puppy Culture, Potty Training, Human Interactions, Grooming Desensitization, Car Rides, Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), Basic Manners, Early Socialization, Scent Introduction, Noise Desensitization, Crate Training, Volhard Testing, and Sit Command.
All puppies receive vet examinations and age-appropriate vaccinations. Puppies are de-wormed if tests indicate the need. Every puppy is sent home with a good health certificate and a one-year guarantee against genetic, debilitating diseases.
We send our puppies home with Blanket with mom & littermates’ scent, Registration, Puppy starter kit, Toys, Basic obedience & manners, Initial potty training, Food & treats, Vet records, Microchip, Microchipped , AKC Registration, Copy of Puppy Development by Patricia Hastings, Vaccinations, Certificate of Health, Toy with Mom's Scent, Toy with Littermates' Scent, and Food Starter Bag.
