We are Responsible Breeders who stand behind our dogs.

We are NOT back yard breeders just trying to earn extra money off the backs of their dogs.

We are not a Puppy Mill.

We have over 30 years experience in canine care that help us to breed and raise a dog with superior health and longevity.

Our puppies are conditioned to have the best temperaments possible, to make a wonderful family member.

Throughout the dog's life if anything happens and you cannot care for the dog, we will take them back and re-home them for you. None of our puppies or adults have ever been abandoned at an Animal Shelter or a Rescue Organization adding to the pet over-population.

All of our clients agree, in writing, that they will spay/neuter their Poodle at an appropriate age. Clients who wish to breed their Poodles can only do so under special treaty, including completing our Breeder-Mentoring Program and adopting the same policies we have for puppy placement.

All of our puppies come with a written guarantee.

Vaccination Protocol

Revised 4/00

NOTE: This schedule is the one I recommend and should NOT be interpreted to mean that other protocols recommended by a vaterinarian would be less satisfactory. It’s a matter of professional judgement and choice.

For breeds or families of dogs susceptible to or effected with immune dysfunction, immune-mediated disease, immune-reactions associated with vaccinations, or autoimmune endocrine disease (e.g., thyroiditis, Addison’s or Cushing’s disease, diabetes, etc.), the following protocol is recommended:

Age of Pups Vaccine Type
9 weeks MLV Distemper/Parvovirus only (e.g. Intervet Progard Puppy)
12 weeks MLV Distemper/Parvovirus only (e.g. Intervet Progard Puppy)
16-20 weeks MLV Distemper/Parvovirus only (e.g. Intervet Progard Puppy)

A TOTAL OF 3 DOSES ONLY

24 weeks or older, if allowable by law Killed Rabies Vaccine
1 year MLV Distemper/Parvovirus only booster
1 year ( give 3-4 weeks apart from Dist/Parvo booster) Killed 3 year rabies vaccine

MLV=modified-live virus

After 1 year, annually measure serum antibody titers against specific canine infectious agents such as distemper and parvovirus. This is especially recommended for animals previously experiencing adverse vaccine reactions or breeds at higher risk for such reactions (e.g., Weimaraner, Akita, American Eskimo, Great Dane). Another alternative to booster vaccinations is homeopathic nosodes. This option is considered an unconventional treatment that has not been scientifically proven to be efficacious. One controlled parvovirus nosode study did not adequately protect puppies under challenged conditions. However, data from Europe and clinical experience in North America support its use. If veterinarians choose to use homeopathic nosodes, their clients should be provided with an appropriate disclamer and written informed consent should be obtained.

I use only killed 3 year rabie vaccine for adults and give it separated from other vaccines by 3-4 weeks. In some states, they may be able to give titer test result in lieu of booster.

I do NOT use Bordetella, corona virus, leptospirosis or Lyme vaccines unless these diseases are endemic in the local area pr specific kennel. Futhermore, the currently licensed leptospira bacterins do not contain the serovars causing the majority of clinical leptospirosis today.

I do NOT recommend vaccinating bitches during estrus, pregnancy or lactation
