AKC Breeder of Merit: SPFL is honored to be a new AKC BOM!

AKC Breeder of Merit

Amanda and I are honored to be recognized by AKC. This is a goal we had in mind when we started on this journey. In addition to our kennel name being registered to us, for our sole use in poodles, we achieved two milestones this fall!

Future puppies will be registered with the BOM logo on their registration papers in addition to the Bred with H.E.A.R T. logo.

Breeders demonstrate their commitment to reputable breeding practices and participation in AKC competition for at least 5 years. They also commit to making sure all of their puppies are registered with AKC. Read more about the Breeder of Merit program HERE.
