I'm Johnna R., the breeder behind Heart Song Standard Poodles located in Huntsville , AL. We produce versatile companion Poodles that excel in agility, therapy, obedience, and conformation. Quite simply because dogs enrich our lives in many ways. There is nothing else that gives us the unconditional love and companionship that a dog does. Poodles have the added bonus of being intuitive, intelligent and low shedding. We believe standard poodles are one of the best emotional support dogs whether they are trained for that job or just a wonderful member of the family. Our goal is to breed friendly, temperamentally stable standard poodles.
Q. & A. with Johnna
Why did you start breeding?
My first standard Poodle was Bonnie. I begged and begged my parents for a dog. I poured through dog breed books, read as much as a 10 year old could about dogs and begged some more. With 5 children in the family you would think that would be enough companionship, but yet I wanted a dog. Finally, we added Bonnie a black standard poodle to the family. My Father, a veterinarian had met several in his practice and admired their intelligence and calm demeanor. My mother had asthma and it was decided a poodle was the best low allergy dog for our family. Bonnie was our faithful companion, we explored the trails in the woods behind our house, she played in the creek with us, sat with us when we watched t.v. or chased the ball when we played tennis or softball. Bonnie was always there. That is what I want to give to other families. A standard poodle to be their faithful companion, someone who is always by your side, someone who loves you unconditionally.
What makes your program special?
Our standard poodles are family. They live in our home, attend a variety of training classes, love to travel and explore the world with their family, and bring joy to us everyday! Some poodles love to play in the water and some love to dig holes and become swamp puppies in the mud! Our higher energy dogs love agility, obedience, fetch, and other athletic activities. A few of our dogs are couch potatoes and prefer to spend the day on the sofa or relaxing in the shade of the trees. We strive to breed healthy, solid temperament, friendly dogs.
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.
