I'm Carolyn R., the breeder behind Pure Parti Poodles located in Puyallup, WA. At Pure Parti Poodles, we prioritize breed health, integrity, confirmation, and love. All of our dams and sires are AKC purebred poodles with wonderful color intensity and confirmation. In addition, our parents are genetically health tested with 100% clear results, and their hips are tested through OFA or PennHIP with great results. Our puppies and parents are all raised in our home as pets and family members.
Q. & A. with Carolyn
Why did you start breeding?
We have always been poodle owners, and I grew up on a farm with a lot of animal breeding. We had two black miniature poodles that passed at 15 due to genetic health issues. We wanted to help the poodle breed have cleaner genetics, and bring people puppies that they could be confident would lead healthy lives. All of our dams and sires are genetically tested and completely clear.
What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is special because we only breed dogs that are genetically clear and have health tested hips. We do ENS, crate training, and are held and played with all throughout the day.
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 include apricot, black, cream, white, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Adara, mom
Poodle
About Adara
Adara is our beautiful AKC red parti (hidden phantom) girl, and she is truly something special.
She is genetically 100% clear through Embark, including CDDY/IVDD and more than 200 other testable conditions. Her health and structure are excellent, and she embodies everything we love in a well-bred dog.
Adara’s temperament is just as impressive as her genetics. She is sweet, intuitive, and eager to please. She loves being involved in everything we do and has the kind of calm, affectionate personality that makes her a joy to live with day-to-day. She’s social, confident, and gentle—an easygoing dog with a loving spirit.
Most importantly, Adara lives in our home as part of our family. She is raised in a warm, hands-on environment, not a kennel, and she enjoys daily life right alongside us. Her great temperament, clean genetics, and stunning color make her an exceptional girl in every way.
