Sorry, I just noticed your message today. I purchased my mini from a breeder in Belleville. She doesn't ship (and she doesn't have any minis planned right now) so it would not work from you. I did speak with Dawn Cullen but did not go and see her. She seems to have a lot of litters on the ground at one time which some people would consider a cause for concern. At the time the price she quoted me was $900. Prices around $1200 to $1300 seem to be the norm. I have heard good things on this forum about Denali and Duenna. I don't know about Bonheur. There are a number of reputable breeders in Southern Ontario who breed blacks, whites, creams. I am closer to Montreal than Toronto so I was interested in looking in Quebec. Rightly or wrongly, I was cautioned about Quebec breeders and was told many are unethical (I don't know if this is true). Good luck in your search.

oh I just checked your post on my first thread! I see you live in Ontario and have a mini poodle! I found a few potential breeders that I'll be phoning (all around Ont. & Qc.) .. do you have any experiences or opinions on any of these breeders?

-Bonvivant Poodles Bonvivant Home - Miniature and Toy Poodles for Sale
-Duenna Duenna Poodles
-Denali index
-Bonheur Bonheur Poodles

It'd be great if you could let us know anything about where you got your poodle? Details would be nice.. such as prices but if you're uncomfortable with sharing, it's fine!! Thanks in advance and looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Kind regards,
Rachel
