About Heather
Our dogs live in our home alongside our kids. We live on a 40 acre retired dairy farm with 3 large red barns (hence the name). These dogs love to run and enjoy accompanying us on UTV rides. They are country dogs through and through.

We are dedicated to always providing you with a positive experience, which includes remaining committed to responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies. We cherish each of our dogs and puppies, and we do everything we can to make sure that they get the best lives possible.

Why Heather started breeding
I'm not a fan of miniature or toy poodle personalities, but standards are too large physically for me to want in the house. I had a really hard time finding that perfect in between size, which I discovered was what is called 'Moyen'. These are in my opinion the perfect size companion. I wanted to breed because I think preserving the genetic lines of this special size is important.
