Hi and Welcome!
It sounds like you're on track for what's of primary importance. That said, almost all of us have color preferences but ending up with one of our favorites isn't always what happens.
We have some members who have found red mini's so I hope they chime in for you.
Til then, here's some links and some cautions along with:
https://poodleclubofamerica.org/find-a-poodle-breeder/
This link should get you to pages which direct you to folks within PCA who can help with breeder referrals for your desired area.
https://marketplace.akc.org/puppies/poodle
These are AKC registered breeders but review their websites thoroughly. Look for OFA, CHIC health testing info in the site. If not on the website, ask the breeder to provide all health testing results and links (this will be on the dam and sire fyi). In fact, do that with any breeder you make contact with. A quality breeder will not hesitate to show the health documentation.

I see you're in SoCal. How far are you willing and able to travel?
If you use the Search function at the top, select advanced then enter "red mini" as your keywords. Don't limit anything else. You'll get a lot of threads, so check the headers on them to see if it looks like breeders might be mentioned. Or, just read them all, if it's quiet night for you
.
I saw a reminder by one of our members to contact one of the quality breeders of reds, even if not the size or in the area you're looking. They will usually know of other breeders they could suggest for you. We have several members who are quality breeders of reds. They are all very gracious.
