A beautiful Toy Poodle is wonderful, but what\u2019s behind that beautiful face matters even more.<\/p>\n

Responsible breeding starts long before a litter is born. Health testing allows us to learn more about the dogs we breed, understand potential hereditary risks and make more informed choices when planning a combination.<\/p>\n

A deposit is required to reserve your puppy. It reflects a serious commitment, as we often turn away other families once a puppy is spoken for. Deposits also help cover the early care, time, and resources that go into bringing your puppy to the Netherlands healthy and well-socialized.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
