Urban Hero Poodles
Meet the breeder
I'm Abigail K., the breeder behind Urban Hero Poodles located in Vancouver, WA. We enjoy showing our dogs, & they are our companions in every adventure. We do all we can to give our dogs & pups the best lives. Our passion for our dogs shows through our responsible breeding practices. We hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to help build a better and safer world for our dogs.
Q. & A. with Abigail
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in the love with poodles and love creating excellent family members. As a veterinarian I see so many animals suffering from anxiety or fear. Their families suffer so much because of their pets behavior. I never want my puppy families to experience the negativity of poor temperament. I want to create the best family members that can do anything with their owners.What makes your program special?
We focus on the all around poodle. We like our poodles to have that poodle look and type, but we also expect them to be trainable, motivated and enjoy working and learning. They also have great off switches and can settle on the couch when not working. Our poodles love their humans and love doing anything and everything for and with them.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, blue, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
