Wendy’s experience

  • About Wendy

    I am the owner of Emerald Gem Poodles, has been breeding poodles since 2003. I focus on raising healthy, genetically tested AKC puppies, emphasizing socialization and desensitization through early stimulation to ensure well-rounded pets for families. I also enjoy fishing in the St. Augustine inlet, aiming to catch redfish, flounder, and black sea bass.

  • What makes Wendy’s program special

    My poodles stand out for their exceptional health and temperament. They live in my home with me, ensuring they are well-socialized and loved. I emphasize genetic testing for robust health and use early stimulation for well-rounded pets. My commitment to continuous learning and not overbreeding ensures that my AKC poodles are not only beautiful but also thrive in family environments.
