Meet the breeder

I'm Carolynn B., the breeder behind Standard Hearts located in Southfield, MI. We care deeply about this breed and are proud to be responsible Poodle breeders. The loyalty and loving disposition of this breed are simply the best! We put a great deal of effort into raising our litters to ensure our puppy families will have the best experience raising their new family members.

Q. & A. with Carolynn

Why did you start breeding?
I grew up around poodles and the day‑to‑day work of caring for dogs. Helping with whelping, raising litters, and supporting family programs was simply part of life. Over time, that experience became my own small program. Today I raise solid white Standard Poodles and Toy Poodles, and I help relatives with Flandoodles and Shihpoos. Breeding has always been a family tradition I’m proud to continue.
What makes your program special?
We focus on healthy, well‑structured solid white Standard Poodles and Toy Poodles, and we health‑test all parent dogs before breeding. Our lines are known for elegant faces, calm temperaments, and low‑shedding coats. We also support relatives with Flandoodles and Shihpoos, keeping our program centered on gentle, family‑friendly companion dogs raised with hands‑on care and early socialization.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include toy and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Cheese Puff, mom
Poodle
About Cheese Puff
The mother of this litter is a sweet, calm, quiet Toy Poodle with a very gentle nature. She enjoys being around her dog friends and people, but she isn’t hyper or demanding. Her temperament is naturally laid‑back, soft, and easy to live with. She prefers relaxed play and loves simple affection, she’ll happily sit in your lap, give little licks, and soak up pets. She has a steady, peaceful personality and brings a lot of emotional stability to her puppies. She is friendly, well‑mannered, and content whether she’s spending time with her people or relaxing with the other dogs. Her calm, affectionate temperament is exactly what you want behind a tiny Toy Poodle puppy.
Cratty, dad
Poodle
About Cratty
The father of this litter is a super sweet, fun‑loving Toy Poodle with an easy, joyful temperament. He loves playing with other small dogs and is genuinely entertaining to watch, he has a silly habit of making little playful noises while he runs around, and he thinks he’s the “big tough guy” during play even though he’s tiny. He is very people‑oriented and responds gently when you talk to him. If you ask him, “What’s wrong, Cratty Daddy, are you cold or sleepy,” he gives slow, squinty blinks like he’s trying to answer you. It’s one of his cutest quirks. He has a soft, affectionate personality, excellent social skills with other dogs, and a happy, confident attitude. His temperament is exactly what you want behind a tiny Toy Poodle puppy friendly, funny, stable, and easy to live with.
