AKC
Breeder of Merit
I started breeding
miniature poodles & later toys in the'70s. As a newly married
Special Teacher I purchased first a vicious long backed 'toy' &
then a miniature from a puppy mill that had PRA and seizures, and so
many health problems that it cost me $1,000. to keep him alive his
first year in 1969! I learned a lot and vowed that I would never
put anyone through what I went through.
I have xrayed &
done eye checks on even the local pets that I have sold long before
testing became common.
I sell all of my
puppies on spay/neuter contracts with a LIFETIME health and
temperament guarantee because of my strong feelings about only
producing healthy, long lived companions, and so IF anything of a
hereditary nature affects one of my puppies life, the owner will
contact me. A spayed or neutered miniature from my line should
live close to 20 years. My toys tend to be under 9 1/2"
tall & under 5#, some as small as 2 1/2 # at maturity.
