Ever since that first litter of pups, I knew I wanted to be able to breed healthy, quality poodles with good temperaments, and always striving for improvement in the breed. I feel I have accomplished this but know that I have built a foundation upon which I can still improve.   It is also very satisfying to be able to provide healthy, happy, home raised puppies as pets.  One of these "pets" went to someone who became my friend and co-breeder, Barbara, in 1991. Since that time, we have worked together to increase our genetic testing for healthier dogs. Not only do we have quality show dogs, but working registered therapy dogs attesting to the temperament of our dogs.  In 1990, I added Japanese Chin to my Cin-Don line, and enjoy learning more about this breed with each passing year.
