About Nutlee
Founded in Finland, Nutlee Poodles has its roots in an FCI country and a deep tradition of mentorship. Sini began her journey with a Toy Poodle from Tarmo Wallin, founder of Nutlee Poodles and an international judge. Wanting to further her knowledge of Standard Poodles, she later worked in Italy with breeder and judge Lorena Merati, where she acquired her first Standards.
Working alongside Tarmo since 2016, Sini continues the Nutlee breeding program. With pride, she carries the Nutlee name under AKC in the United States, honoring its European heritage while building its future from the San Francisco Bay Area.
Our puppies are AKC registered, and our breeding program emphasizes health, structure, and sound temperament. Breeding dogs are thoroughly health tested, with evaluations that include hips, eyes, thyroid, and further assessments for joint and heart health.
Companion puppies are placed on limited registration, and each home is thoughtfully selected.
We are proud to raise dogs that excel in competition while also becoming deeply loved members of their families.
About Sini
After building experience in Finland and throughout Europe’s dog show community, Sini set her sights on continuing her education in the United States.
In 2016, she began working for a professional handler in Pennsylvania, refining advanced grooming and handling skills, especially with terriers. Despite her broad experience, her heart always returned to Poodles.
Today, Sini dedicates her work to continuing a respected poodle legacy, raising dogs known for beauty, health, and sound temperament—successful in the ring and cherished in family homes.
