Q. & A. with Heather

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I'm not a fan of miniature or toy poodle personalities, but standards are too large physically for me to want in the house. I had a really hard time finding that perfect in between size, which I discovered was what is called 'Moyen'. These are in my opinion the perfect size companion. I wanted to breed because I think preserving the genetic lines of this special size is important.
  • What makes your program special?

    We are dedicated to always providing you with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies. We cherish each of our dogs and puppies, and we do everything we can to make sure that they get the best lives possible.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are moyen size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Heather at Red Barn Poodles, was a pleasure to deal with. Wonderful person. Great experience. You get the feeling that she’s dedicated and passionate about what she does. We have dealt with several poodle breeders in the past, and she is by far the best. My wife and I drove 400 miles to pick up our new furry family member from Red Barn Poodles, and we are both glad we did. We named her Nutmeg, and are totally in love with her. Beautiful, intelligent, full of life, and just a tad mischievous. You simply couldn’t ask for more. I’m posting a few photos of Nutmeg and her new sister, Ginger.
