About us
Born and raised in Plano, Texas; I grew up with nothing but German Shepherds and cats. Over the years working in the pet industry starting from the age of 17 years old I have grown a love and passion for dogs. I learned how to groom back in 2014 before I got my first personal dog a shih tzu named Ewok. Months later I got a Tibetan Terrier who I named Taun Taun and it was him that got me into looking more into health tested and titled dogs.
I fell in love with poodles early on after becoming a groomer and years later was able to finally get my first poodle, Kylo. I learned a lot over the years thanks to all the many challenges he and my previous dogs gave me, so when the chance to get my second poodle I jumped right at the chance in the height of Covid. Kylo is the first dog I have every health tested and titled, as well as the first dog to get me into a sport I now love, Hunting.
Since 2019 I have grown in my knowledge of Standard Poodles and it has become my goal here at DarkSide Poodles to bring poodles back to what they were originally bred for, bird hunting while still making sure they are conformationally sound and competitive in the show ring. Poodles are versatile dogs so it is my goal to preserve that and test my dogs in many sports all while finding a sport that they personally love.
All puppies will be raised around cats, other dogs, exposed to wings, birds, water(pending seasons) and gunfire(When possible). They will be raised on a blend of Puppy Culture and AVIDog. We strive to expose our puppies to as many different sites, smells and experiences in the safest way possible to insure our puppies are properly socialized. Owners have the options to let their puppies stay with us for a puppy obedience head start and gun dog head start program if they so choose to!
