All of my toy poodles are a part of our family. They live in the house with us and sleep in their kennels at night in the den. We love our babies and raise them in the den. They are surrounded by love and that is how we teach them to be the best lap dogs and most loving, loyal members of your family. They learn from the beginning to use a pee pad and leave us practically trained. All of our dogs are veterinarian health checked and come we a vet health certificate, all updated shots, and a 3 generation pedigree. They are of course AKC registered, pet only, dew claws removed and they have their natural, beautiful flourishing tails.
