Meet The Team Behind PoodleHQ
Marko Ivanoski
I’m the founder and author behind PoodleHQ. I bring together extensive expertise and formal education in Animal Behavior and Canine Genetics. With the responsibility of caring for multiple poodle generations, I’ve become a true connoisseur of the breed.
This journey has led me to be recognized with the prestigious Canine Care Excellence Award and earn praise from the International Pet Enthusiasts Association. These honors inspire me to continue my commitment to the welfare and understanding of these wonderful companions.
Currently, I’m fortunate to share my life with my first poodle’s niece. It’s a privilege I hold dear, and I’m dedicated to passing on the same profound bond to the generations that follow.
