One of my favorite parts of my responsibilities that go with my business is meeting new people, and becoming friends with the people who purchase puppies from.
Super excited about tomorrow getting the privilege to meet Ann and her 5 year old son, Wade. Although they won't be getting a puppy from me, their visit is one I look forward to, perhaps, like no other. In the 20+ years I have been breeding dogs, this was a first, entirely unique request I received through Ann, who is Wade's (pictured below) mom. Below was the initial message I received from Ann:
"Hello,
I am reaching out to see if you could make my son’s poodle dreams come true. For some reason my 5 year old son has become obsessed with poodles. He is a very special boy and has overcome a lot of difficulties in his life due to a birth defect affecting his eyes. We’re trying to make all of his dreams come true while he has vision and his number one request right now is to have a poodle puppy. We cannot have a puppy right now because we have two other dogs but I was hoping we could take him to visit some poodles / puppies one day. Would you be willing to let us pay you to teach him a little about poodles and visit with some of your dogs? I know it is an odd request but we are just parents trying to make the best of the cards we’ve been dealt and make our sons dreams come true. If this seems like something you’d be able to do, I can send you more information about my son. Thank you for considering our request.
Ann"
We touched base on the phone, and I learned that Wade has had around 10 surgeries on his eyes, and more than likely his will eventually go blind. According to his mom, Wade has changed his middle name to "MiniPoodle". Tomorrow morning they will make the 3 hour or so drive down from the Chicago area to spend an hour or hour and a half with me and my poodles.
Can't tell you how thrilled I am being able to do this. The thing I miss most about being a principal is spending time with the kids.
Wade wants to learn everything he can about mini poodles..I have several idea about topics I want to cover, but looking for suggestions from my followers, especially topics that wouldn't seem so obvious, or topics that cover unique things about poodles. Please help by providing topics in the comments!
Of course, I will not be charging them anything, but am considering setting up a GoFund me page to help cover some of Wade's medical expenses.
I will follow up with a post after their visit tomorrow.
Yesterday I turned 54, and over the last year or so, more than in the past, I have thought about and considered short and long term goals/plans for the future. As i am getting older, the physical responsibilities become more challenging. It is possible within the next 5 years that my wife and I will become empty nesters, meaning even more of the on site responsibilities will fall to me. I know many of my followers have not purchased a puppy from me, but plan to. Others have bought in the past, and plan on buying another puppy at some point in the future..this post may help.
If the Lord wills, these are my short and long term goals/plan.
Short term goals/plans:
- I am expecting one more goldendoodle litter in the next two months..this will be my last goldendoodle litter.
- the percent of litters that will have toy size puppies will increase, although I will still focus on mini size poodles, with occasional moyen size puppies.
- I will continue to specialize in red and apricot poodles, but increased number of pups that are sable, phantoms, chocolate, parti, black etc
- beginning in late 2025, I will have one or two cavapoo litters a year
-continue to move some responsibilities to family members or others..for example, most of my adult mamas live, as pets, in guardian homes of family and friends. One family in particular is raising the litters of the mamas that live with them as guardians. (Thanks Aunt Karen! It is a big help.)
Long term goals/plans (in 5 years my wife and i will be able to start withdrawing from our IRAs):
- in 5 years have only a secondary role in the business, passing on the primary roles to family members/friends/others.
- in 5 years have the number of adult dogs (and litters) I personally raise significantly reduced..mainly through natural retirement of the adult dogs I now have.
-in 5 years, if my family members or others are not able to take on the primary responsibilities of the business on, then greatly scale down the the number of adults and litters to single digits.
Of course, circumstances can change and the Lord is Sovereign of over all. As it stands now, this is where I am hoping for the future of Poodlepupswithprincipal.
I threw in some pictures of family members, some of which may take on increased responsibilities in the coming years. Do you think I can trust the future of Poodlepupswithprincipal to these hooligans? Never mind, don't answer that! :-)
Video of Jazzy...had to put her in a puppy playpen to get the video as she was under foot when she was out, making it impossible to get a video..she is sooooo sweet!
Update on Jazzy, the 3 month old mini poodle that was diagnosed with Addison's disease:
I have been breeding dogs for over 20 years...to my knowledge, only one time previously, 15 years ago, another puppy that someone bought from me was diagnosed Addison's disease. When I found out that Jazzy was diagnosed, I immediately thought about that other dog, Teddy, who belongs to Norm and Gracie. I knew it would take a special family to adopt Jazzy, and wondered if they would contact me.
I made the post a few days ago, offering Jazzy to the right home for free. A couple days after that Norm reached out to me, and let me know if I couldn't find the right home for Jazzy that he and his wife would considering taking her.
Today, when the other person who expressed interest fell through, I contacted Norm and Gracie. They told me they had been thinking about Jazzy and felt it was fate that Jazzy would end up with them. They will be picking up Jazzy in two weeks, after they get back from a vacation to Iceland (sidebar...very jealous...Iceland is on my bucket list).
From my interactions with Norm and Gracie over the years, I have been so impressed with the character of people they are and the care they provide for their dogs..Teddy, although he has Addison's, is 15 and healthy. Although the care of a dog with Addison's is minimal, the costs each year, according to Norm, run about $1,000.
I will post more on this once they pick Jazzy up in a couple weeks. In the meantime, I asked them to send me a picture of Teddy...below is 15 year old Teddy.
When I first made the post about Jazzy, I had a handleful of people who had bought a puppy from me or had deposits on puppies contact me to see if there is any chance that their puppy had Addison's. That is a reasonable question and I anticipated people contacting me. I knew it would naturally cause some angst with followers..that is understandable.
On Facebook, all of us often put out the best about ourselves and our lives..I am no different. I am saddened by Jazzy having Addison's, but want my buyers to know that in spite of trying to go the extra mile to sell healthy puppies, there are bumps in the road. I will learn from this, and it will affect any potential breeding I do with Jazzy's mom. She was a first time mama...in a future post, I will explain how Jazzy's Addison's diagnosis affect my decision making in the future.
Pictured is Teddy, Norm and Gracie's 15 year old poodle that has Addison's. Then Jazzy is pictured in the other photos.
Words can't express my gratitude to Norm and Gracie for agreeing to take Jazzy!
Received this picture and message this morning from Patti.
Poppy looks like a Teddy Bear in this picture!
Hi Frank, just wanted to tell you how much we love Poppy. She will be three in September. I’ve had 6 poodles in my lifetime and she is by far the sweetest! She brings joy to our family every day. Thank you!
Please read the entire description before responding:
Jazzy is a red miniature female poodle puppy, who will be coming back to me on Sunday. She was recently diagnosed with Addison's disease, which is congenital. Addison's disease is a condition that requires lifetime support/care.
She is free to the right home. This is not the puppy for someone who does not have the money to purchase a puppy, as she will need vet care and support for the rest of her life, that will require more money than what a dog without a congenital defect would require.
Message me if you are interested in her.
Conditions to be considered:
1) you have made previous contact with me looking for a puppy, or have already purchased a puppy from me in the past.
2) you discuss Addison's disease with your vet ahead of time, so you understand the care she will need. Then provide your vet as a reference.
3) you have owned a dog previously.
Jazzy is sweet and is expect to live a normal length of life and have a good quality of love (with proper vet care and support). She would be good with other pets and children as she has a playful and outgoing personality.
Please excuse the piece of grass in her face..she had just played outside before this picture was taken.
Addisons disease is something that is covered by my health guarantee...Jazzy current owners are getting a free poodle puppy in the future as a replacement. They struggled with the decision to keep Jazzy and get a full refund, but their lifestyle would make it difficult to meet the demands of having a dog with Addison's. They made the right decision for Jazzy as well. Please private message or call/text me if interested.

Charlotte is a one year old black with white toy poodle puppy. She weighs under 8 pounds and recently had her first litter for us. Two females, one a black and tan masked phantom and the other one a black with white, like her mama. The accent color of the phantom will continue to come out as her coat comes in/gets fuller. Dad is 6 pounds.
They will be ready in about 6 weeks. Please contact me with any questions.

Several months ago, Leslie, from New Jersey, contacted me wanting to put down a deposit on a puppy. It is exciting when someone hundreds of miles, and several States, away is interested in purchasing a puppy from me! Occasionally, they will pay me to fly to deliver the puppy in person. Typically, I don't have the availability to take the time to make the delivery myself. In such instances, I use the company, Haulin Pets, to pick up the puppy from my house and deliver to the buyer at their home. One of the most anticipated parts of this is receiving the picture that Jesse, from Haulin Pets, sends of the people he hands the puppy to. This is the picture that Jesse send of Leslie, holding her puppy, Jack, for the very first time! Neat to see the expression on her and her husband face. Over the last couple days, Jack made the trip from tiny Mackinaw, Illinois, to East Hanover, New Jersey. Congratulations Leslie!
Toy female poodle puppies..only two weeks old. Both parents are under 8 pounds.

A few years back, Michael and Pam from Holland, Michigan, ran into Megan who was walking her poodle she bought from me. Based off Megan's recommendation they bought a puppy from me. They named her Piero. Today, Pam sent me this video a skill that she has taught Piero...so very impressive, I had to share..Poodles are so intelligent and they love to be intellectually and cognitively challenged!
I want to apologize that I sometimes do not post all the updates and pictures that people send me..this is not intentional. I love posting the updates and they often get the most likes from my followers..when my schedule is busy I often get behind on posting, and then all the sudden "binge" post recent updates.
If I don't post an update you sent me, just send a friendly reminder to me letting me know as I do want to post them!
No one has ever complained, but I still want to clarify. Thanks for your understanding!
Pictured below, my wife, Angie, and me!
Hey Frank,
My sister Alex bought a miniature poodle from you end of last year.
Here’s some pictures on how things are going thanks again.
If my parents don’t end up buying a dog from you I will eventually.
Kind regards,
Mike
Debbie recently picked up one of the f1b male bichipoo puppies to take home.. she sent these pictures and update!
I have to give you a lot of credit because Ripley is doing really well with sleeping in the crate. I'm working on naps in the crate too but not there yet. He doesn't like leaving my side. He is doing great with house breaking too. Or should I say I am doing really well as I am taking him out at the right times. I love watching how he listens to all the sounds outside especially now the cicadas. Larry loves watching him do zoomies. I am just thrilled with this little guy. He loves the grandkids.
I dont really play music but when music plays as I'm watching videos he runs to see what I have on. So cute. He is doing really well. I am thrilled to have him.
Next week I will do something for only the 4th time ever....fly to deliver a puppy. The first time was to Ron and Teresa in the Tampa, Florida area. October 2021 was the second time, when I flew into Charlotte, North Carolina to deliver Jellybean to Peg and Roger. The third time was flying into Boston to meet Michele to deliver Penny. Roger and Peg have since moved to Long Island. They referred a friend, Ed, to me. He ended up buying a goldendoodle puppy. Next week I will fly and visit Long Island for the first time ever..after delivering Ed his goldendoodle, I will spend a couple days with Roger and Peg. This is a dear couple to me! They lost their only child, a daughter, to cancer several years ago. They have been mourning the anniversary of her death this week...I hope my visit next weekcan bring them joy!
See pictures of Roger, Peg and Jellybean, and also a picture of Ed's goldendoodle that I will fly to Long Island to deliver. Looking forward to this visit!

Video of Jazzy...had to put her in a puppy playpen to get the video as she was under foot when she was out, making it impossible to get a video..she is sooooo sweet!
One of the things (among many) that I love about poodles is they come in so many different colors and sizes. One of our guardian homes, a family member, Karen, had 5 of our poodles. One of the poodles is a support dog for her son, who has a disability. Karen put together this video of the guardian dogs she has (in order): Winnie - red mini Minnie - toy black and tan phantom Penny - toy apricot Kit - large toy/small mini chocolate phantom Daisy - mini chocolate abstract phantom
