Our story
How We Got Started
Hello friends, I am Dara, who has been married to my husband Alex for over 33 years. We are blessed with three beautiful daughters, sons-in-laws, and seven grandchildren.
Our 19-year-old daughter, Alexa, still lives at home and is my faithful poodle partner. We made the decision to breed standard poodles after recognizing their exceptional intelligence, comfort, and therapeutic qualities. We believe that individuals facing anxiety or depression could greatly benefit from one of our beloved furry companions. Standard poodles also make wonderful family pets and thrive in a family environment. This breed distinguishes itself as the most intelligent hypoallergenic dog breed available.
Alexa is a brave cancer survivor. At the tender age of three, she was diagnosed with leukemia and underwent 26 1/2 months of rigorous chemotherapy, which entailed numerous medications, injections, procedures, and extended hospital stays. She completed her treatment just before turning six, yet continues to deal with long-term side effects, including anxiety. In 2014, we introduced a little Dachshund into our family to encourage Alexa to sleep on her own and it was successful. Sadly, we lost him in 2018 due to medical complications.
After some research and unsuccessful attempts to find another furbaby, we welcomed our first standard poodle, Muffin, into our lives. It didn't take long for us to realize the remarkable qualities of this breed. Muffin has such an amazing temperament and quickly became Alexa's faithful companion. Meanwhile, I had been caring for my mother-in-law who suffers from Alzheimer's and was facing my own emotional and physical challenges. Therefore, a few months later, we acquired our second poodle for myself, Biscuit. Subsequently, we unexpectedly welcomed Max into our family, a goofy, affectionate, and devoted poodle. His unwavering affection, dedication towards me as well as all my grandchildren is amazing.
With three poodles in our life, we believed that was sufficient, until we encountered Paisley, a charming and intelligent poodle that I simply couldn't resist. Therefore we are a family of 4 standard poodles.
If you desire a loyal, cuddly, and affectionate furbaby, a standard poodle is a great addition to your family.
