What Do Our Customers Say?

Manon - Quebec

Plume, who will be 12 weeks old tomorrow, December 15th, 2024, is already house-trained, except for a few occasional accidents. She barks to let me know she has done her business, hoping to earn a treat. She knows plenty of words, fetches her toys, and brings them back. She even recognizes the names of certain toys and retrieves them accordingly.

Today, she completed a puzzle game for mental stimulation in just 5 minutes—impressive! She also gave me her paw after 3 or 4 attempts on my part. Yesterday, I gave her the command to stay in her basket (her bed) instead of coming to the door when someone arrived, and the person said, “Look, she listens to you and doesn’t come!”

This adorable little face truly does her Toy Poodle breed proud, living up to their reputation as the most intelligent breed in the world! Plume amazes me every day and makes me so happy 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡.

Choosing the right breeder is so important for having a healthy and loving dog. My breeder, Maxime Martin, is someone I would recommend without hesitation to anyone who loves, as Maxime Martin does, these little bundles of love ❤❤❤❤❤.
