I'm the breeder behind Toddy Kennels located in Pontotoc, MS. We decided to start breeding to share the best possible puppies with excellent personalities, temperament, and most of all health! We raise our dogs in our home right alongside our family. We love being able to match our puppies with families that are the perfect fit for their personalities.
What makes Meri-Claire’s program special
Our pups are very spoiled and treated like family! They occasionally enjoy a pup cup from Starbucks and play time at the doggy park if they are not cuddled with mom or dad on the couch!
