I'm Lidiya R., the breeder behind Lidiya Poodles located in Salem, OR. We raise our puppies in a loving home environment, focusing on their health, temperament, and early socialization. Our goal is to produce affectionate, loyal, and well-adjusted companions who bring joy to their families.
Q. & A. with Lidiya
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with this breed — their sweet temperament, friendliness, and the fact that they don’t shed. My dog has been incredibly gentle and well-mannered; she has never chewed anything and carefully steps around objects, even on the sofa. After seeing how wonderful these dogs are as companions, I wanted to share that joy with others. Raising puppies is something I truly enjoy.
What makes your program special?
All puppies grow up in a clean, loving home environment—not in kennels. They receive daily interaction, early training basics, and exposure to household life, making them well-adjusted and ready for family living.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Lidiya made the process with adopting Lacey super smooth, she sent me regular updates/pictures of my girl and on pickup day she and her husband included a puppy bag and all the information I needed! It came with treats, toys, vet paperwork, and a blanket with her littermates scents. I couldn't be happier with my sweet girl Lacey and my experience with Lidiya - thank you!
