How Do You Find A Miniature Poodle Puppy?
Miniature poodles, like all other breeds, can have health and temperament issues. Finding a good miniature poodle puppy takes time and patience. A good breeder will never sell to a pet store and usually does not list in local papers. But when you remember that you may have this puppy for the next 14 to 18 years, it is worth doing it right. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) points out that getting a poorly bred puppy can be both financially and emotionally costly. Talk with everyone in your family about what you want from this puppy. Some considerations are whether you want to show and maybe breed it, if it is just a family pet or if you want to do obedience or other competitions. Decide if you have someone home most of the time to housebreak a young puppy or or if you need an older puppy that is already housebroken. Decide if you want a registered dog or if a rescue would fit your family. Buy a book on the poodle breed or visit the American Kennel Club’s website to learn a
