I'm Barbara A H., the breeder behind BA Mini Poodles located in Nacogdoches, TX. Our breeding stock is genetically tested and fully healthy before producing a litter to ensure quality puppies. We offer healthy well-adjusted puppies as companions.
Q. & A. with Barbara A
Why did you start breeding?
We live near an Aussie breeder. After watching the "Aussie" action from afar, we found it hard to resist this active, intelligent breed. With good foundation females, we began this adventure, using outside Poodles to sire our Aussiedoodle program.
In time we added a pair of Red/ Apricot Miniature Poodles, offering both Poodles and Doodles.
What makes your program special?
We have decided to trim back our program to specialize in Miniature Poodles. We will have an occasional litter of doodles before we retire our Aussie females. We have chosen quality breeding parents and remain committed to their health and well-being.
Our focus remains the same --- creating an environment that produces well adjusted, healthy puppies. BA Mini Poodles make great pets.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Aussiedoodle puppies are mini size. Poodle puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Australian Shepherd puppies include black & white and black tri-color. Aussiedoodle puppies include black and white and black tri-color. Poodle puppies include apricot, cream, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in a kennel on my property.

Our new puppy has been wonderful from the start. He has a ton of energy and will play all day. Barbara was so helpful in helping us get him. She explained everything that we needed to know when we picked him up and gave us a goody bag with a blanket with his mom and littermates scent on it and some food to last for a few days. She had all of his info together so that we could give it to our vet when we took him for his first appointment. Our puppy sleeps in a crate beside our bed. He has never whined and sleeps all night. We are really pleased with Barbara and our little boy.

Could not be more pleased with my experience with Barbara. She answered all my questions. She met me to pick up Nala and was very helpful. Nala is better than I expected. Very sweet, healthy and well socialized when I received her. She has been such a joy. Thankyou Barbara

Couldn’t be happier with my experience with Barbara! Being a 1st time dog dad, she was extremely helpful with all of my questions & concerns. I was able to reserve Rosie, who I’ve decided to named Allie with ease. I live in new Braunfels & Barbara drove to madisonville to meet me halfway to pick up little Allie. She provided all her documents, along with puppy food, a couple toys and chews, & a blanket with her litter mates scent. Allie is such a smart pup, extremely playful, & loving. Couldn’t have asked for a better companion. Thank you very much Barbara!!! 🙏🏼

I really enjoyed my experience with BA Doodles & Poodles. Barbara has been very helpful before, during, and after my purchase from her kennel. We have continued to work together about my puppy and she has been able to answer all of my questions and concerns about my puppy. She and her husband are so wonderful. I was able to pick up my puppy and was able to meet her husband and the parents of my puppy. She keeps a very clean kennel and every dog has plenty of room to move around. I was very impressed with her and her kennel.

Barbara is an excellent breeder! She responded to all of my questions and made the process very easy. After getting to know a little about me, I was able to reserve Lily, who we have decided to name Ruby! I live in the Houston area, so meeting Barbara in Huntsville was perfect for both parties. Barbara provided all vet documents, microchip information and a few toys and blanket for our girl. You can tell Barbara is a responsible breeder and she genuinely cares about her pups. We absolutely LOVE Ruby- she is extremely smart, so playful and enjoys nothing but love and snuggles. She fits right in and I couldnt be happier. Thank you, Barbara!!
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
