Heart and Soul Standard Poodles
Meet the breeder
I'm Sandy J., the breeder behind Heart and Soul Standard Poodles located in Saint Paul, MN. I am a breeder breeding for health and good temperament. I do everything I can to ensure the puppies have everything they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs. My dogs are healthy, happy, and well-loved. My program is small allowing each puppy to get lots of love and attention.
Q. & A. with Sandy
Why did you start breeding?
I have been interested in breeding nearly all of my life. I chose to breed Standard Poodles because of their high intelligence, loyalty, and non-shedding of hair. I want others to fall in love with a wonderful pet.What makes your program special?
I do ENSI and Puppy Culture, which helps the pups become happy, healthy, confident, and more intelligent. Many of my puppies have gone to owners that are training for service and 5 of my puppies have been donated to Can Do Canines, which is a nonprofit in Minnesota that trains pups for service.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
