We produce AKC registered toy and miniature poodle puppies from champion lines. We breed only solid colors in apricot, black, silver, and white are available. Our poodles are bred from genetically tested champions bloodlines.

All puppies are raised in my home not in a kennel and are bred for health, temperament, conformation, type, intelligent, and beauty.

Puppies come with up to date shots, vet checked, groomed, micro-chipped, vet records, AKC registered, trained for kennel, and housebroken. I breed mainly for show, but not all puppies are qualified to show, so I sell healthy and beautiful poodles.

We require contracts to ensure good homes and breeding practices. Please visit our website
www.alegrospoodles.com and feel free to call or write for information. Shipping is available.

Health Screening: Optigen prcd-PRA, Patellar Luxation, Hip & Elbow Dysplasia. Our dogs DNA profiled for parentage control.

Health Screening: I have run eye clinics yearly for 30 years. I leased A bitch with Leggs Perthes & consequently learned to xray everything! I was the first poodle breeder to submit OFA xrays for Toy & mini poodles in Minnesota & I am still in the minority. Besides my own dogs I regularly have eyes checked & xrays done on the pets that I have sold in the area. I do not use the closed registries that are currently popular as I would be interested in 'open registries' [listing both passed & failed dogs]. I also temperament test, cardiology, thyroid & patellas.

Black Pearl started originally in the Ukraine and now we are located in San Francisco CA, USA.

We are breeding very selectively for quality Poodles. Our goal is to keep the integrity of the breed. We want Champion quality, not quantity, with the temperament to be loving and calm.

Poodles are exceptionally intelligent canines and we want to continue with that. We are specializing in color-bred black and brown only.

We do not have large number of litters because we want to focus on each puppy to the fullest. Our miniature Poodle puppies are raised in our house where they receive a lot of love and attention.

Please note we do not participate in Poodle crossing.

Welcome to Cinbren Poodles since 1968.

My name is Beva Wahl and I've had a love of dogs for as long as I can remember! I became attracted to Poodles for their innate intelligence, ease of training and especially for the unique and fun personality of the breed. Poodles provide a constant source of delightful companionship and lively entertainment. In 1964, I began to show a Standard Poodle in AKC obedience events. I then, for the past 40 years, turned my interest to Miniature Poodles. My passion lies in significantly safeguarding the health, temperament and physical characteristics of each generation, striving to perfect the Poodle breed standards set forth by the AKC. The lineage of my Poodles includes Championship and Best in Show titles. I obtain health certifications and provide guarantees.

While I believe each generation should be show quality, selecting one with the most potential for competition, often others are available for placing as loving companions in homes.

You are welcome to contact me regarding the availability of both puppies and young adults. I would be interested in knowing a little something about you, and how your new companion might fit in with your specific lifestyle and family requirements. Poodles are athletic, versatile, loving, forgiving, devoted and intuitive family members. I look forward to introducing you to your Poodle and helping you to find that treasured friend in your life.

Health Screening: OFA, PRA

Clarion has been breeding and showing Poodles since 1963. Although we breed for the show ring, the most important part of our breeding program is to have well-adjusted, long-lived, athletic Òfamily membersÓ. In addition our Poodles demonstrate intelligence and an enthusiastic love of life.

We have never had a kennel and do not wish to have one. We believe that Poodles are social beings who thrive on human interaction, so our group is and have always been ÒunderfootÓ in our home.

Their life at Clarion consists of romps with us and each other on our acreage, hanging out on couches, bowl beds, favorite ÒcavesÓ under a computer desk, a dresser, or a dinner table and greeting the guests who come and go. Their food is based on natural ingredients with special diets for any elder citizens, pregnant girls, nursing mothers or growing babies.

We are located one half hour south of Sacramento nestled into an area surrounded by small, family-owned wineries.

Health Screening: We do the Optigen blood test for the prcd PRA and we have opthamolic exams to insure against any other eye defects. Also, we do hip X-rays with OFA Ratings. The other miniature and toy genetic problems do not have tests. So, we guarantee our poodles for their lifetime to insure that if something goes wrong, we will be told.

Desert Reef Poodles are located in Utah's beautiful southwest corner, a 2 hour drive north of Las Vegas. We are a small hobby breeder committed to raise happy, healthy, sound and beautiful Standard and Miniature Poodles.

We carefully plan litters with health, temperament, beauty and 'easy to live with' as top priorities. Genetic Health testing is done to aid in proper breeding with intensive pedigree research for lesser health risks.

All of our dogs are family members, residing inside our home as pampered pets. (As are all puppies!) The adults 'earn their keep' by being the friendly door greeters at our Natural Pet food store, 'Bone Appetit!' Come visit!

We are natural rearers, weaning to a raw food diet and vaccines kept to a minimal. Puppies get lots of daily attention and socializing from adults and children of all ages. By the time they leave for their new homes they are well on their way to being house, crate and leash trained, with a couple of car trips to familiarize them to the motion and sounds.

We temperament test at 7 weeks to help with the best possible placement. Pets are on limited registration and a spay/neuter contract... health and temperament warranty, refunds after obedience training course and proof of spay/neutering, as well as any titles achieved.

Be sure to visit our website for more information and pictures.

I have several finished champions, and plan each litter very carefully. I breed for health, conformation, temperament, type and soundness.

I'm a member of the Twin Cities Poodle Club, Versatility In Poodles, the St Joe Valley Agility Training Club, ECHO Dog Training Club and the Michiana Kennel Club. I've served on the Board of Directors, as show chair, Webmaster, and as newsletter editor. I have fostered and assisted with rescue under auspices of the TwinCities Poodle Club, and am the publisher of the Toy Poodle Database as sold at PCA.

Companion Quality dogs come from the same litters as breeding and show prospects, and are therefore placed in good family homes. Neutering your pet will stop many future problems for you, including producing unwanted puppies, and will probably give your pet a longer and healthier life. I am interested in protecting and improving purebred dogs, particularly poodles by using the breed standard of the AKC as outlined by The Poodle Club of America to guide us in improving dogs via good breeding programs. This involves extensive selection and genetic testing by me. I sell on written contracts only with health guarantees to approved applicants with references. All pets shall be neutered by the age of one year, and all adults are sold already spayed or neutered. In the meantime, the full pedigree will be furnished to buyer, but the registration papers will be withheld until evidence is provided to the seller that the dog has been neutered. Failure to have the dog altered within the agreed time period VOIDS ALL GUARANTEES.

I have puppies, young adults, and retired adults available occasionally in minis in blue, silver, black and brown and toys in black and brown. Stud service to approved tested bitches by private treaty.

Dreem began as a dream for me. The goal was to own, show, and possibly produce some of the best quality miniatures and toys in the United States.

I rate quality on

  • health
  • conformation to the AKC standard as set by the Poodle Club of America
  • type
  • soundness
  • temperament
...in no particular order.

It takes ALL of these to make a quality poodle a quality poodle.

In 2007, the 13th home bred champion was finished and the first finished champion to be from the bred-by-exhibitor class. (I have 15 home bred champions today) The decision was made to register a kennel name to use for all future puppies. Dream is Not a name which can be registered (and I knew that from the beginning) However, AKC has accepted Dreem for full registration.

The name has changed, the players haven't.

Health Screening: We normally CERF annually for everyone who is actively involved in the breeding program and upcoming puppies. Optigen DNA testing is done for all breeding stock, unless they are certified by OFA as clear by parentage. Hips on OFA, Patellas on OFA, LCP on Ofa, Current dogs are also having Elbows done.

DreemPoodles totally supports PCA and the CHIC by testing and registering the testing of all of my own dogs through OFA. DreemPoodles also supports the Poodle Health Registry.

Empyrean Poodles is located in St. George, UT, just 90 minutes north of Las Vegas. We also have a home in San Diego, CA where puppies can meet their new families with no problem. We breed both standard and miniature poodles.

Our poodles live in our home as a part of our family and puppies are raised with hands on from the time they are born. We breed for conformation, health, and temperament in black and white, and occasionally apricot, cream, and blue. All puppies are a result of careful planning based on desired traits, in depth pedigree research, and parents that have been genetically tested with passing results. Adults and puppies are raised holistically on a super premium diet and minimal vaccination protocol. Puppies are started on crate training, potty training, and have been introduced to riding in the car prior to leaving our home. Puppies are also temperament tested to ensure that the right puppy is matched with the right family.

Health Screening: All standard poodle and miniature poodle prospective parents are tested.

Miniature poodles receive eye exams by a veterinarian who is board certified by the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists as well as a DNA test for progressive retinal atrophy. They also are screened for hip dysplasia, legg calve perthes, patellar luxation, thyroid malfunction, and Von Willebrands disease.

Standard Poodles are tested for hip dysplasia using the OFA or Penn Hip method and also receive eye exams by a veterinarian who is board certified by the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists. Standards also receive a complete blood work up to screen for thyroid malfunction, Addison's Disease, and juvenile renal disease. They also receive DNA testing for Von Willebrands disease.

When I first started breeding dogs I had Old English Sheepdogs and was showing at AKC shows around the midwest. In 10 years I had several champions. While going to those shows I was fascinated by Standard Poodles and thought some day that was the direction I would go. Much later a good friend gave me a Miniature Poodle out of his 30 year old breeding kennel. I started showing that girl and was really hooked on Miniatures. In my first breeding I was able to produce a beautiful AKC /UKC CH male. The next year I repeated that breeding and two puppies were produced and both are AKC / UKC CHs. I am testing my dogs for everything. If I am going to breed Poodles I want to breed the healthiest animals as well as the prettiest. Strong healthy poodles are very important to me.

(Posted 12-9-09)

I have been breeding top quality Miniature and Standard show puppies since 1996. I have strived to produce nice puppies with excellent temperaments. I have imported some of the top pedigrees in the countries to my line. All of our dogs are tested before they are bred. Most of my show puppies are sold on co ownership to make sure they are finished. If at anytime a puppy is sold and doesn't turn out we will replace it with a puppy. The puppies are never raised in a kennel only in our home and of course I own a grooming shop so they are very socialized from birth. I have placed several champions into agility homes after completing their titles so they have the best of both worlds. I feel all dogs should be treated as pets ALWAYS!!!!

Health Screening: The Standards are tested for hips, eyes, skin, and NA. The Miniatures are all tested for PRA or they are clear from parentage.

Our puppies receive lots of socialization so they can be comfortable as a beloved family companion, a performance competitor or a highly competitive showdog.
