Q. & A. with Samantha

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We specialize in Miniature Poodle, Cocker Spaniel, Cockapoo, Cavalier King Charles, and Cavapoo puppies. We are located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, hence the name Red Stick Kennels.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our goal is to produce healthy, happy, and well-socialized puppies. We are purposefully small so that our parent dogs can be raised as part of our family on our four-acre micro-farm. We have a true passion for the process and love of our breeds.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

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

    Our Cocker Spaniel puppies include red and white, red, golden, buff and white, buff, black and white, and black and tan. Cockapoo puppies include brown and tan, brown, sable, golden, red, black white and tan, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
