Meet the breeder

I'm Lola, the breeder behind Bell’s Poodles Of California located in Fresno, CA. Our puppies are raised with a thoughtfully designed puppy curriculum that supports early development. Beginning at three days old, we implement Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI). Each day, our puppies are introduced to new sounds, textures, and experiences to help build confidence and resilience. We place a strong focus on both health and temperament to ensure well-rounded, happy puppies.

Q. & A. with Lola

Why did you start breeding?
I’ve loved animals my entire life—I grew up surrounded by birds, rabbits, ducks, dogs, and even a cat! My kids have inherited that same love for animals. In 2014, we welcomed a puppy into our family, and it was love at first sight. When our relatives began asking for puppies of their own, we realized the best and most trustworthy way for them to find a healthy companion was through us. That’s when our journey began. I’m committed to raising puppies that are healthy, well-socialized and ready to thrive in their forever homes.
What makes your program special?
Our program is special because of the love and dedication we pour into caring for both our adult dogs and their puppies. We take great pride in raising healthy, well-socialized puppies with exceptional temperaments. The care and attention they receive from day one truly shine through—and our happy families can attest to that!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We had such a great experience with Bell’s Poodles. From the beginning, she kept us updated and made the whole process feel easy and reassuring. Even after we brought our puppy home, she’s continued to check in, which really shows how much she cares. She also started grooming our pup early, which helped her get used to everything right away. That made a big difference! Our poodle is the sweetest, happiest, most playful dog. She’s amazing with my kids and always gets compliments everywhere we go. I would definitely get another puppy from her and highly recommend her to anyone looking!

Oh gosh, I had so many questions and Lola answered every single one of them. Before and after we got our new fur baby. We are so in love with our CoCo. I will definitely recommend Bells Poodles to everyone. I’m already getting asked where we got her from, from family and friends! I would love to get another poodle from Lola in the future.

Lola made our experience outstanding and so memorable. She couldn’t have made it any easier for us. This was my first time bringing home a new puppy and Lola reassured us the whole time if we had any concerns. She really does care to know how puppy is doing and if there’s anything she could help with. I will always recommend Bell’s Poodles to anyone who is seeking to bring home a puppy! 🩷

Second time owners, and just as happy! After having such an amazing experience with our Standard Poodle, we knew we had to go back to Bells Poodles for a Miniature Poodle. They are truly dedicated to the breed's quality and health. Our new puppy is smart, playful, and has a wonderful temperament. The breeder provided a clean, loving environment and was extremely knowledgeable throughout the process. Highly recommend!" Lola was amazing to work with and provided a seamless transition

We had a fantastic experience with our dog breeder, Lola. She has been incredibly kind, professional, and helpful throughout the entire process. From the beginning, she’s taken the time to answer all of our questions and has made sure we feel fully prepared to welcome our new puppy.
