I am very concerned about the health issues that plague the Toy Poodle
breed. Most are hereditary, and can be prevented with careful breeding
practices. Currently I do genetic testing for prcd PRA eye disease
through Optigen. This blood test will tell if the dog is clear of the disease, a
carrier for the disease, or is affected with the disease. You can visit
www.Optigen.com for more information.

Select breeding practices ensure I am not breeding inherited problems. All
my breeding poodles are checked for sound structure, (good kness and
hips), sweet temperament and overall health. I have started having them
OFA certified too. I work closely with my vet to make sure my poodles
have what they need to stay happy and healthy. I am always available to
answer any questions you may have concerning the toy poodles.

It is a known fact that a good, quality toy poodle is derived from quality
parents and ancestors. All of our breeding poodles are Champions,
champion sired, or have an extensive champion pedigrees as well as the
good qualities that would make for a good breeding pair, producing quality
puppies. Our poodles are AKC registered (American Kennel Club) and
are bred for solid colors. We do not breed parti-colored poodles. The
AKC website, www.akc.org can give you more information on the poodle
standard, which goes into detail on size, type, and colors.

I have had people to say they don't want to buy a "show dog";they are just
looking for a "pet". A well-bred pet will give you many years of
companionship without all the health problems of a poorly bred dog.
Usually a good, quality pet toy poodle can be bought from a reputable
breeder for about the same price (or less) then what you would expect to
pay in a pet shop, the difference being you don't know anything about the
pet shop puppy but the breeder will have all the information and the parents
of the breeder's puppy. I have two blind poodles, my beloved pets that I
cannot part with. These were not from my breeding, but I am trying to
ensure what I breed will not go blind at an early age.
