I'm the breeder behind Watts Poodles located in Chino, CA. We breed with a focus on health and temperament, and we have years of experience in preparing puppies for their forever homes. We spend lots of time socializing and training our pups so they will have a great foundation of good behavior and neurological development.
About Witney
My love for animals started at a very young age, my first pet was a Shetland Sheepdog. I have worked in the rescue and grooming community from my teen years into becoming a young adult, which is how I met and fell in love with the Poodle breed. I have been showing since 2015 and breeding since 2018.
What makes Witney’s program special
I carefully select my dogs for temperament, health and sound structure to help insure the puppies I produce will live long happy lives. I have produced puppies who have gone on to become service dogs, therapy dogs, performance dogs, show dogs and loving pets.
Our puppies are well adjusted to a home environment, raised with other dogs, cats and meet many new people of all ages. They are raised with Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), Puppy Culture protocol, exposed to many sounds included emergency vehicles, fireworks, thunder, etc. Puppies are also given plenty of toys and enrichment games.
