My father passed away a few weeks ago and my mom current poodle dog is 12 years old. I would like to find her another puppy or young dog poodle so she will have another dog to love before her current dog passes as well.

Any help would greatly be appreciated

I am so sorry for your very recent loss. I was still in shock for several months after Daddy died. You are looking ahead with hope, I can see.

People here can help you steer to reputable sources who won't take advantage at a still tender time. If you can share a bit about your location, as Johanna asked, it will help people make suggestions ❤?.

I'm so sorry for your family's loss

A puppy is a challenge at the best of times, but I struggled a little extra while I was grieving. It was a welcome distraction, for sure, but sometimes we also need space to mourn.....and puppies don't really allow that.

Just something to consider as you help your mother navigate this very difficult time. I love Peggy completely, but do sometimes think I'd have been wiser to have gotten an adult dog from a good breeder. Unfortunately, they're fewer and further between, so it might take some more time to find a good match.

Hoping you get some good suggestions here. ?

We are in Arizona Phoenix, but willing travel. If not too far. My mom has dogs all her life so she knows the responsibility. I'm thinking a toy poodie would be best. She would love a red... but not picky on color
I appreciate the help

There are some sub forums here where you can find discussions of breeders recommended, and some, not so much. They're listed at the top of Poodle Talk.
