About Johanna
Joyful Poodles are AKC registered puppies. My family bred and raised Cocker Spaniels, goats, chickens, and horses. As a young adult, I bred and raised Australian Shepherds. What I love about poodles is their unique personality. My two poodles are very athletic, outside running around together a lot. When not running around, they can be found lounging near or on me or out in the shop with Jim.
