Each 'litter' is planned extensively. All the parents of our puppies are genetically tested before breeding. I
test for the following: hip dysplasia(OFA), eyes(CERF), sebacious adenitis(SA skin punch), bleeding disorder(VonWillebrands). Don't
expect anything less from a reputable breeder. Copies of these tests are sent with each new puppy. Puppies are
vet-checked at 8 weeks, have age appropriate vaccinations and worming and are started on Eukanuba puppy food before they
leave at 9 weeks. All puppies are whelped in my home, and live there till they leave with adequate socialization and
play time. I have 3 children of my own so they get plenty of love and play! Puppies are sold on spay/neuter contracts
only and limited registration, and are placed with selected individuals/families appropriate for each puppy. Deposits are
not taken until litters are born and they are several weeks old. I do ship puppies and will assist in making reservations
and transportation to the airport. My puppies are all very important to me, so I like to have as much contact with new
puppy owners before they leave and after they are in their new home.

Puppies are placed with families, couples, or individuals on an individual puppy basis. I try to match up each puppy
with the right family, whether they want a family pet, obedience or agility poodle, or a show prospect. Lots of conversation
and questions help me to decide where each pup will go. I prefer to have new owners come and pick up their puppy, but
shipping is also available if need be.
