I would highly recommend Ryan with River Park Poodles! Our 2yr old moyen poodle is a great size, not too big and not too small. He weighs about 28lbs. We free feed, and he has self regulated his weight to a perfect size. I really appreciated Ryan sending me additional photos when I was trying to decide whether a moyen was the right size for our family. Our boy Murray is very loving but also playful! He loves to sit on our laps - he's just a big baby! We also hold him in our arms. He really loves to snuggle and play ball. Ryan has been great to answer questions along the way. He has offered suggestions and has always been quick to respond to my questions. Murray was well sensitized when we got him. It was an easy transition when we brought him home. Ryan had already taught Murray how to sit when we got him ;). I wish we lived closer to Ryan, as I would have loved to have him do some additional training with Murray. From the beginning, it was obvious that Ryan loves dogs! I would not hesitate purchasing another poodle from River Park Poodles!
