My name is Jay Echols. I live in Dallas, TX, by way of Memphis, TN. I’ve been breeding for about 13 years, (poodles for 10 of those years). I’ve always loved dogs. I can remember as a child, I always wanted one of those mechanical dogs or a book about dogs for my birthday. As long as my birthday gift was something about a dog, I was content.

I watched my father breed professionally and even show dogs my entire childhood. This is where I learned a lot of what you see today. Over time, God would set me on my own path and ignite my own personal passion for breeding.

Fiona was my first poodle. She inspired me to choose the breed. I’d always been in love with Irish setters. I was always enamored by that rich, red color! Eventually, I learned that poodles came in that same color! I did my research and strategically built my program from there.

All of our dogs are genetic and health tested. We also breed for temperament and conformation. My life’s passion is to continue blessing families with the addition of a well bred FGK baby! Families are able to feel the love we put into our babies, therefore THEY become our family too! Shout out to our FGK family out there!

Many of you have started coming back for your second FGK baby, and we couldn’t be more proud! Fiona Grace Kennels is built on love, passion, and tireless devotion!
