Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
I absolutely love the poodle breed. Since I became disabled, I really needed something to give me purpose. I wanted to be able to share my love of the breed and my experience with them.What makes your program special?
I raise my babies in my home with tons of attention, love, and handling. They go to their new homes with experiences of all the sounds and smells of a home. They are exposed to other animals including dogs, cats, and chickens. I take them with me to stores, and other homes to expose them to other people and places. I am told by my puppy parents that they received a puppy who was "bombproof".What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are toy size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

+6Yes, Poodles of Martin’s Heart is AMAZING! Stephanie Martin is the exceptional owner and responsible for raising the sweetest red toy poodle puppies. Our new baby is Poppy. The socialization that Stephanie gives to all of her babies is what makes them so easy to adopt. Our Poppy who is now 11 weeks old weighed only 2.19 pounds when she had her new puppy vet visit this week, but she came to our home and immediately adapted. She is brave and not fearful of people. She’s sleeping all night without crying and being fearful. Plus, her potty training is going quite well! For healthy well adjusted and loved puppies look no further than Poodles of Martin's Heart! Stephanie is an amazing communicator and you won’t be disappointed! ❤️ Love our Poppy!

Stephanie was great to work with. She really cares about her puppies and Snoopy is a well adjusted puppy. He's very smart and seems to catch on very quick. We're working on the potty training with him and he's doing very well with only the occasional slip. But he's doing great for only 10 weeks old. we're also doing leash training and he's doing very well with that, too. We're happy that we found Snoopy and Stephanie and so glad to add them to our family.

+4We picked up our tiny little girl on Friday, September 12th. She is so very precious and such a smart little girl. I bought her a snuggle buddy with a heart beat and she slept until 6 am without waking up or having an accident. She has already realized her “space” outside for pottying. Stephanie is so wonderful with whom to work! She sent me photos and videos every week! She was quick to respond and answer questions. She even gave us a pink backpack with food, diapers, toys and the paperwork. Stephanie truly loves her dogs. She is a sweet and wonderful lady! We could not be happier with our little girl. Stephanie is our new friend and we will always keep in contact with her and share photos as our baby girl grows up!
