At Breezanhope we have raised each dam and sire from puppyhood and these are our personal poodles and will remain with us for their entire lives. Knowing our poodles for several years before breeding, carefully selecting the best temperment is paramount for us. We do not purchase adult poodles for breeding and we do not "pet out" our personal dogs ever when they retire from breeding. Our poodles are all health tested by OFA and Paw Print Genetics now called Orivet. Our foundation poodles, Scout and Breeze, were both 100% clear in their DNA by Paw Print Genetics and their litter is cleared by parentage. In addition, both were tested by OFA for hips and heart. You can find all our health testing on this site under the additional tabs listed above. We feed all of our dogs a real food diet, which includes a limited amount of raw meats. Puppies are weaned on raw meats, goat's milk, berries and veggies. We do not feed rice or oatmeal and we do not feed any kibble whatsoever. We provide a clean environment and work with our poodles daily showing them love and attention. Proper dog manners are an absolute must in our house. We do not encourage excessive barking, jumping up on anyone or any posturing or growling at each other. We pair up our poodles with others they love to be with so they are comfortable and happy. Poodles love other poodles but they all must feel secure in their home. Calm personalites do not do well with hyper poodles and we study them regularly to make sure they are totally peaceful. Nina and Hope have AKC Champions in their lines but are not finished champions. If you are looking for a show prospect from finished AKC Champions there are plenty of other breeders that will fit your needs in our area.

WE WANT RESPONSIBLE BUYERS!
At Breezanhope you must be a responsible dog owner and poodles require lots of attention and mental stimulation. You agree with daily, weekly and monthly coat maintenance. No poodle should ever be left outside in dangerous weather, tied to a line, live in a dog house or spend excessive hours and days in a dog crate. You value a clean and sanitary environment for yourself and your pets. WE DO NOT FEED KIBBLE PERIOD. You must understand what our poodles have been eating for 3 generations and if you can continue their diet. You agree you are able to provide a forever home. You don't need anyone's approval to get a puppy or adult poodle. You are not deciding on one of our puppies only to complain or target us on social media because we will take action against all future cyber harrassment. You understand you will have to agree to a puppy or adult poodle contract for limited registration, unless we agree to grant you full rights, which is an entirely different contract. This is not express shopping, we are not a pet store and our kennel license does not allow the general public into our home or private kennel. You agree that you will never place a dog we have produced into a shelter and you will contact us immediately if you cannot keep the poodle. We will take back any poodle for any reason at any time, even if you just need help for awhile, but we will not refund your money. BREEZANHOPE'S PRIVATE KENNEL is licensed in Pierce County, Washington city of Gig Harbor. We want only respectful relationships with our buyers and we know responsible poodle owners are out there. An interview is required for any poodle you are interested in. We look forward to hearing only from responsible buyers.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO.
WE STAND FOR DECENCY
WE HAVE A VISION FOR WHERE WE WANT OUR PUPPIES PLACED, PLEASE RESPECT THAT AND DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY.
HOW A COUPLE REACTED WHEN REFUSED A PUPPY IN 2025.
JULY 2, 2025 PUPPY BUYER THREATENS TO KILL
WE WILL NOT TOLERATE DISRESPECTFUL BEHAVIOR, THREATS TO OUR LIVES OR ONLINE REVIEWS INTENDED TO TRASH OUR BREEDING PRACTICES JUST BECAUSE WE REFUSED TO SELL YOU A PUPPY. WE ARE PURSUING A NEW CIVIL CASE AGAINST A COUPLE FOR DOING THIS TO US RIGHT NOW. WE FIRST FILED AGAINST THE HUSBAND WHO WAS FORCED TO HIRE A LAWYER AND FACE A JUDGE OVER HIS BEHAVIOR OF THREATENING TO KILL ME. HE ESCAPED HAVING AN ORDER FOR PROTECTION PUT IN PLACE AGAINST HIM BECAUSE HE NATURALLY LIED ABOUT HIS THREAT TO KILL AND IT WAS A FIRST OFFENSE BY HIM. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR PHONE RECORDS, 911 REPORT, ACTUAL POLICE REPORT AND TWO WITNESSES WERE NOT ENOUGH PROOF HE THREATENED TO KILL ONE OF US. IN ADDITION, HIS THREATS WERE OVERHEARD AND NOT RECORDED OR IN WRITTEN FORM, HE JUST CALLED SCREAMED OUT HIS THREATS, HUNG UP AND CALLED BACK REPEATING IT OVER AND OVER BUT HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING BY HANGING UP AFTER ONLY SECONDS TO A MINUTE AND THEN CALLING OVER AND OVER. HOWEVER, IF HE EVER COMES NEAR US AGAIN, AN ORDER FOR PROTECTION WILL BE AN AUTOMATIC THE NEXT TIME. THIS IS WHY WE BROUGHT HIM INTO COURT TO ANSWER FOR HIS ACTIONS. HE ONLY ADMITTED TO CALLING ME ON THE PHONE AND SHOUTING AT ME THE THREE MOST VULGAR NAMES YOU CAN CALL A WOMAN. HE ALSO REFUSED TO ADMIT THAT HE SAID THAT "... YOU SHOULD KILL YOURSELF..." AND THEN LET ME KNOW THAT HE NOW KNOWS WHERE I LIVE, SO HE WILL DO IT. HEARD BY ME AND MY HUSBAND AT 12:53 - 12:56am ON JULY 2, 2025. THIS MENTALLY DERANGED PUPPY BUYER WILL NEVER COME NEAR OUR PROPERTY AGAIN BECAUSE WE FILED FOR AN ORDER FOR PROTECTION. IF HE EVER DOES THIS TO ANOTHER BREEDER, OUR INITIAL CASE WILL PROVE A PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR AND THAT'S WHY IT WAS IMPORTANT TO REPORT HIS CALLS IMMEDIATELY TO 911, THEN FILE A POLICE REPORT AND FILE FOR AN ORDER FOR PROTECTION. IF YOU ARE A BREEDER AND FEEL YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN TARGETED BY THIS PERSON, THE CASE WAS FILED IN PIERCE COUNTY, WASHINGTON AND PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH US BECAUSE WE WILL ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT YOUR CASE. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO EVER THREATEN TO KILL ANOTHER PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. ALL BECAUSE THE PUPPY BUYING PROCESS WAS TAKING TOO LONG. THE CASE WAS FILED IN PIERCE COUNTY, WASHINGTON OR YOU CAN ASK US FOR DOCUMENTATION.
FROM A BREEDER OF DOBERMANN PINCHERS
Borrowed from their Facebook page:
Here’s the reality a lot of people don’t want to hear:
I do not owe you a puppy.
Read that again.
I. Do. Not. Owe. You. A. Puppy.
I reject people all the time, and I am completely unapologetic about it.
You are not entitled to one of my dogs because you want one.
I don’t care how long you’ve wanted one.
I don’t care how much money you have.
I don’t care how excited you are.
I don’t care how qualified you think you are.
And I don’t care if being told no hurts your feelings.
My dogs’ welfare comes before your feelings. Every single time.
These are extremely high-drive working dogs.
They are not pets you buy on impulse because they look impressive online. They require structure, consistency, training, boundaries, and an actual understanding of what you’re taking on. They are not dogs you buy, work for a few months and then shove to the back burner because you’re too busy, or you don’t want to make the commute to a club, or any other excuses not to fulfill your working dog.
I reject people who underestimate the breed.
I reject people who think love is enough.
I reject people who want the image of a working dog but not the reality.
I reject people who get defensive when asked basic questions.
I reject people who aren’t prepared to manage a working dog.
I reject people who expect a puppy to come preprogrammed with adult working skills.
I reject people who want a nasty aggressive “real dog”.
I reject people who think money should override judgment.
I reject people who think wanting a dog equals being qualified for one.
And yes—I reject people based on household environment.
If your home is chaos, if your kids are screaming nonstop, have no boundaries, and adults are doing nothing to correct it, I’m not placing a high-drive working dog into that environment. Not because I dislike kids. Because I care about the dog.
A dog is not a toy. It is not something to be grabbed, chased, climbed on, screamed at, and expected to tolerate constant disorder because adults refuse to provide structure.
If you already have multiple dogs living in kennels or crates and expect a puppy to be thrown into your kennel or crate room and aren’t prepared to give that puppy the attention, training and dedicated work it requires, I’m not placing a dog with you.
And while we’re at it if you look at my dogs and think you’re going to recreate that overnight with an 8-week-old puppy, you are not the buyer for this breed.
No, the puppy does not come with basic obedience.
No, the puppy is not house-trained.
No, the puppy is not a finished dog.
It is an 8-week-old puppy.
You are buying potential. You are buying genetics. You are buying years of work ahead of you.
If you want instant results, this is not for you.
If you want a shortcut, this is not for you.
If you are already asking what the puppy “comes with” in terms of training, you’ve already misunderstood what you’re getting into.
I am not running a puppy store.
I am not here to make people feel good.
I am not here to hand out dogs to whoever wants one badly enough.
I am here to protect the dogs I bring into this world.
So yes, I reject a lot of people.
And no, I don’t feel bad about it.
Not even a little.
I would rather hurt your feelings today than ruin a dog’s life tomorrow.
I would rather be called rude, gatekeeping, arrogant, or difficult than place a dog in the wrong home.
Because once that dog leaves me, it lives with the consequences, not you, not me, the dog.
Always the dog.
So if I say no, the answer is no.
No debate. No negotiation. No apology. No puppy.
