We live on a small farm and have a wonderful place to raise happy, healthy puppies. My grandmother and mother began raising Poodles at this same location over 50 years ago, I became involved as a child. Now my daughter and granddaughters are involved as well and we continue with the legacy. We raise puppies that are wonderful from the inside out and offer them to families who can provide excellent homes. We take great pride in the quality of our dogs and puppies. Our vets and owners of our puppies are a testament to their good health and temperament.
We selectively breed only AKC-registered poodles. All have Champion dogs in their immediate family. All have friendly, happy temperaments. All have been vet-checked for overall health and breeding fitness. Sires are DNA profiled by AKC and have been DNA Opti-Gen tested (clear or normal). All of our puppies are sold as PETS and have a limited registration status.
We are Mini Poodle™ a small breeder that brings you healthy Poodle Puppies for sale and adoption. Our puppies are AKC registered and are a part of our family. Our dogs have no breathing problems and are very active. Unlike most Poodles, ours go on hikes and swim independently, proving you can have a great-looking poodle puppy without any breathing issues. We breed to improve! We’ve been very fortunate that all our puppies get along. They all have the sweetest personalities and are so well behaved & trained.
This is also a place where we wish to present our work, Mini Poodles™. We have the privilege of doing what in our opinion is one of the most beautiful and fulfilling “jobs” in the world- breeding these lovely creatures.
We believe in transparency, so if you have any questions please feel free to contact us..
We adore our puppies and treat them like family. Caring for and nurturing them has been our passion for the past 11 years. We take great pride in our facilities to provide all of our Puppies with a healthy and safe setting.
Great puppies are not created out of chance or luck.
These healthy, well-adjusted, beautiful puppies are a result of the work of an ethical, responsible, knowledgeable, and experienced breeder. This caliber of breeder is dedicated to working to improve their breed. They never compromise the health, temperament, or beauty of the future puppies or their adult dogs.
Sires & Dams
If you are interested in one of our puppies you are welcome to ask for pedigrees and genetic tests of the parents when you pick up your puppy.
The health information pertinent to this size and breed is Vet checked to determine if the Poodle has a healthy heart, patellas that do not luxate, no hernias or cleft palates, or any other abnormality. All our Poodle Sires are DNA Opti-gen tested for an abnormality called PRA. (Progressive Retinal Atrophy), the leading genetic cause of blindness in this breed. All Sires receive an Optigen Test Certificate. This certificate must be (normal/clear) before the Sires are bred. A Sire that has a normal clear certificate cannot produce puppies with the PRA blindness gene. Because Miniature and Toy Poodles do not exceed 20 lbs in weight it is not relevant to test for hips OFA or PennHip. The following diseases have no test that can be conclusive unless symptoms occur: seizures, Cushing’s disease, or leg Perthes. Breeding Poodles should have no family history that has any of these diseases in their lines.
We only breed parents who are physically correct and have had no family history of the disease. Each is Veterinarian checked to determine that they are of breeding quality. Each parent’s heart, patella, and overall health are checked. The temperament of the parents must be in a normal range of intelligence, friendly, happy, not overly active, or overly shy. Each is closely related to Poodles that have successfully won American Kennel Club Championship Titles. The American Kennel Club evaluates dogs that are exhibited according to The Breed Standard for Poodles.
