Hi, We recently lost Scruffy our 14 yr old mini poodle from complications from Cushing's, diabetes, kidney disease. We purchased him from a store. We didn't know better at the time. He was 5 months old when he came home to us. We suspected he was a runt. He wasn't terribly shy, but he was very...

Hi friends, I am looking for a reputable miniature poodle breeder. I'm located just shy of Sacramento, but would not mind driving to San Francisco, or San Jose. I have emailed a couple of breeders (Rankin, BarKing, Clarion, and a few others in my area) the last 12 days, but have not heard any...

I’m about to re-send my deposit to Sally Ciraolo of MiVida Poodles in El Cajon, CA. She breeds Miniature Poodles and Toy poodles. She seemed like a great reputable breeder before but now I’m having concerns about if she is actually reputable. I also have had some other breeders who also seem...

Hello! We are looking for an apricot female mini poodle for a pet around pittsburgh PA (or tristate area). This is going to sound silly, but we aren't looking for like the perfect show dog. We are just like poodles because they are smart and easy to train. So we are kind of looking for like...

Hello All, I’m looking for some advice or general thoughts about problems we are having with our new mini poodle puppy, Finn. We got him when he was 8 weeks old and he’s now about 19 weeks. Finn is an absolutely gorgeous dog, extremely handsome but unfortunately we cannot seem to figure him...

Hello everyone! I’m so happy to have discovered this helpful site. I’m raising a puppy for the first time (in my adult life) and am completely new to poodles. Our mini “Fuzzy” joined our family at 8 weeks, he is now 20 weeks. Most things are going well. He is sweet, affectionate, playful...

Hello all! I live in Georgia and am trying to find contact info for the breeder of my AKC girl- I bought her from someone who had bought her from the breeder. The woman I bought her from was planning on breeding her but decided not to because of her size. (I bought her as a red toy- she is...

Hi guys, new to this forum. Just got my first small dog (mini poodle) he is 10 weeks and 6lbs. He is learning very well and has his hyper days and calm days. He gets bursts of energy and I’m wondering the best way to exert this. I have a fairly big house and usually play fetch with a small ball...

Hi all - As with many people, our companies have shifted to working entirely remote, and due to that, we would like to add a new addition to our household. I understand the waitlists for a lot of these breeders will probably be years+ long by now, but we would like to begin the search and...

We have a 16-week old miniature poodle puppy (we brought him home at 8 weeks old!) I am so obsessed and in love with him 95% of the time but there’s the other 5% where I am just so frustrated! I hope this is a normal feeling! He’s fully potty trained, knows a million tricks, and is obedient...

I’ve been researching a lot and talking to some breeders around the Ottawa region for a miniature poodle.. But when it comes to actually finalize I get over nervous and feel like I need to go back and do more research. This will be our first dog and we’re as excited as we are nervous. So I’m...

What’s the gold standard? Every breeder website has a bunch of tests mentioned but it’s hard to know if they cover all the important ones. What are some of the most important tests to look out for in your opinion/experience? Would love some advice on this topic.

I've always known i wanted to be a dog owner but i never settled on what kind. I've been doing tons of research and reading on all kinds of dogs.. even made spreadsheets matching them against what would suit my needs.. All of them seemed to direct me towards a Miniature Poodle. I do not know...

Hi guys! Ive been looking intently for reputable breeders either in BC or AB (canada) and have not been able to find one I'm 100% sure about. I'm looking to bring them home as soon as I possibly can! :) Thanks in advance

Hello :) I'm looking for mini poodle breeder recs for the PNW. I live in Washington and would prefer to be able to drive to meet the pups before picking one (it's ok if it's cross-state). I plan on getting a puppy in 2021 so it's ok if the breeder doesn't have a litter coming up right away...

I am looking for some insight with my male poodle. He is a white mini poodle who is 6 years old. I have had him since he was 4 months old and recently (within the last year) he has become very food aggressive towards other dogs and territorial in the bed. It seems to only happen with other male...

I'm 28, living alone but looking to take my dog with me to work. I've always loved dogs. I had a dog as a child and was responsible enough to take care of it (with help!) including training her to sit, stay and to shake hands! I'm looking for a good temperament dog to become an emotional support...

Hi! I'm writing here because I really don't know what I should do. Three months ago I wanted to buy a mini poodle, the breeder assured me that I would get my puppy when it reached 2 months. A week before getting her he told me that my puppy is actually a toy poodle (i already paid for her) and...
