Meet the breeder

I'm Marissa and Rachelle T., the breeder behind Sapphire Ridge Poodles located in Wheatland, CA. Having dogs in our lives is such a blessing. We find it fulfilling to provide that same companionship to other homes! We raise our litters in our home to set the foundation for happy and confident puppies to transition well into their forever homes.

Q. & A. with Marissa and Rachelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We rescued our first poodle over in 2010. We fell in love with the breed and wanted to provide other families with a quality puppy to add into their home. Prior to breeding poodles we bred Alaskan Malamutes, yes there is a huge difference in size and the amount of shedding. 😂
  • What makes your program special?

    As mentioned, we have dedicated our entire life to animals. We raise all of our dogs and puppies inside our home and don’t have outside buildings or a kennel. Our puppies come straight from our home to yours and we guarantee you’ll love your new fur baby!
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include toy, miniature, and moyen sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include sable, black, brown, red, parti, phantom, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    Couldn't be happier than I am with puppy Tyler (Orion). He's a sweetheart, gets along with everyone and both dogs here. He's pretty much potty trained himself and lets me know when he needs to go outside. Wakes only once during the night and whimpers until I take him out. We do call him Piranha Mouth as those little teeth are sharp! He's a total love. 🩷

    Marissa and Rachelle were very knowledgeable and also responds promptly regarding our inquiry about our very cute and loving puppy “Biscotti”. We are so happy with Biscotti, he’s full of energy and loves to cuddle. He’s a great addition to our family. We highly recommend Marissa and Rachelle from Sapphire Ridge Poodles.

    I had a wonderful experience with Marissa and Rachelle! They were responsive throughout the process, and picking up Samson went incredibly smoothly. Samson has clearly been well socialized—he’s such a happy, playful boy and gets along great with people and other dogs. He’s non-reactive, trusting, and so easygoing in new situations. Plus, he’s absolutely adorable (my totally unbiased opinion) and turns heads everywhere we go.

    Marissa & Rachelle have been stellar in sharing their life experiences with dogs. Cosmos is my very first dog ever. As a gay single man in my 60’s I wanted a buddy to take walks with me in Golden Gate Park. They really advocated that a mini poodle would be a great choice. Cosmos has been the best buddy I could ask for.

    Things went great! Marissa and Rachelle really understood my need for my special situation with being out of town, and helped with the coordination. I asked questions to find out more- they answered- and I feel comfortable asking them anything in the future. Thank you!
