Hello, I am looking to add a large toy or small mini to our family. We are in California and looking for referrals for local breeders of toys and minis. We are flexible on sex and color, but would prefer a black or red boy. Can anyone refer us to some reputable California breeders? We are in southern California, but willing to travel anywhere within the state. Does anyone have feedback on Gail Zamora?
Thanks!
-Dawn

I think of Toys when I think of Gail Zamora, and have chatted with them at the Golden Gate KC a bit over the years. Clarion is closer to you, I'd think, and also highly thought of, and they breed Miniatures and Toys. Clarion Poodles - Miniature & Toy Poodle Breeders

The Las Vegas area may be an option to consider. Ash's is a thought. Poodles and Poodle Puppies - Standards, Miniatures and Toys | Ash's Mystical Poodles Breeders | Las Vegas, NV

Here is the San Diego Poodle Club's breeder listing:

Brienwood in Sacramento has been getting started with Mini so that is another name to add to your list to investigate.

I am impressed with Karen Wood of Karamba Toy Poodles in Los Gatos. Several other breeders recommended her to me when I was looking for a toy poodle breeder. I have met her at several poodle events, and she seems like a lovely and very responsible person. If she had had a litter within my time frame, I would have purchased from her without hesitation.

Also try Sharbelle, in the San Diego area. Their toys are in great demand, and they have produced many champions. Owners Ray and Sharon Stevens are very active in the poodle world, and serve frequently as conformation judges. I have met both of them at shows, and they are very friendly people. I think they specialize in lighter colors.

How funny, I lived in Los Gatos and have never heard of her!

I think I know of her more for her excellent grooming shop, though haven't ever been there and cannot for the life of me recall where I first learned of them. Mrs. Wood and her team are said to be quite wonderful.

Looks like she might have puppies available, although no way to know if this is still current. Karamba Toy Poodles: Puppies for Sale She is part of a good Poodle Club.
