We are also on Facebook now http://www.facebook.com/pages/Arias-Friends/143583558995596 but the most up to date information is usually on our web site here.
We now offer a LIFETIME CONGENITAL HEALTH guarantee in writing and microchipping (unless you don't want a microchip). We have been raising poodles for 22 years but also for about 10 years have had some poodle mixes because we like variety and hybrid vigor. Also, poodle in a mix tends to be a real plus in terms of allergies and intelligence. With our poodles many are 3rd and 4th generation bred here and/or progeny from tested studs (Optigen, OFA). All of our puppies also come with housetraining & health care information and there is time for help and questions if you come visit.
Do check the various pages, especially Mini Poodles, Malti Poos We are taking orders now for spring and summer. The early spring poodles are already born with the first becoming ready Feb. 10th. The 2 late spring litters, to be ready in May and June, have also now been bred. You will see what we plan to offer and what has been born by checking the following individual pages on our web site.
