I have grown up with a love for animals since the time I was born.
As far back as I can remember I asked my parents for a pony every Christmas! Even though we lived in the city, I assured them it would be fine, we could just keep him in the backyard.

My start in training and raising dogs began with Border Collies.
I taught my dogs all kinds of tricks, trained them in agility, and raised some beautiful, talented dogs. I took a break for some time from raising and training dogs. After my last Border Collie passed away, I knew I wanted another intelligent dog. I was attracted to the Poodle not only for their intelligence and trainability, but for the non-shedding, hypoallergenic qualities. I also wanted something with a little less energy than a Border Collie, as I was living in the city when I purchased my first poodle. I was immediately hooked!

Vanessa was my first poodle, and I went back a week later and got her sister, Lana.
They were raised right next to Piedmont Park in Atlanta. I purchased Theodore a year later after learning about phantom marked poodles. It’s true what they say, once you get one, you want one in every color! Now we live in a house in the suburbs with a big backyard and lots of nearby parks to go on adventures in.

I wanted to start breeding my dogs because in the search to own Poodles of my own, I found it difficult to find people who actually cared about their dogs and raised them with the level of care and love I would. I know I can use my natural abilities and talent to produce quality, healthy, home raised poodles and doodles bred and raised with integrity and care. My dogs are not puppy making machines. They are a part of my family. I know the quality care, time, and attention I take with my dogs will be translated into the quality of the puppies they produce and, in turn, enrich the lives of the individuals and families who get the chance to own one.

I did fulfill my pony dreams!
Though I don’t get to ride as often as I used to, I enjoy riding as often as I can in the english style and have competed in 3-Phase Eventing in my teenage years.
