Meet Briar, a stunning black phantom Miniature Poodle with a luxurious curly coat and an irresistibly sweet expression. This handsome little boy combines striking good looks with the affectionate, intelligent temperament that makes Miniature Poodles such wonderful companions.
Briar is a cheerful, people-oriented puppy who loves attention and enjoys being involved in whatever is happening around him. He is confident without being pushy, playful without being overwhelming, and has the gentle, affectionate nature that makes him easy to fall in love with. Whether he’s exploring a new toy, following you around the house, or curling up for cuddles, Briar is happiest when he is with his people.
His rich black coat is beautifully accented by warm phantom markings, giving him a classic and elegant appearance. With his fluffy curls and teddy bear face, he turns heads wherever he goes.
Briar is being raised in our home with Puppy Culture protocols, early socialization, and daily handling to help him develop into a confident, well-adjusted companion. He is expected to mature between 10–15 pounds and should have the low-shedding, allergy-friendly coat Miniature Poodles are known for.
His sire, Robin, is a fully health-tested AKC Miniature Poodle with OFA Excellent hips, normal elbows, normal patellas, normal cardiac evaluation, normal dentition, and comprehensive DNA testing clear of breed-relevant diseases. His dam is a beautiful apricot and white Miniature Poodle with a wonderful temperament.
Briar is available with AKC pet registration only and is looking for a family who will cherish him as much as we do.

Frequently Asked Questions
About
Poodle - Miniature
Puppies
What's it like owning a Miniature Poodle?
France has been officially recognized as the Poodle’s country of origin, but the Poodle’s earlier ancestors came from central Asia. The German variety has probably influenced the modern breed most (‘Poodle’ is German for ‘splash’ or ‘puddle’). They typically weigh 10-15 pounds.
Are Miniature Poodles safe around children?
Miniature Poodles are generally excellent with children of all ages. The Miniature Poodle gets along well with other animals, other dogs, and children. Poodles are highly adaptable and make good watchdogs. They're fairly vocal dogs that bark regularly.
Are Miniature Poodles high-energy dogs?
The Miniature Poodle requires less exercise then the Standard Poodle, but should be walked or allowed to play outdoors. It should do fine with apartment life. Overall, their exercise needs are high.
How much grooming does a Miniature Poodle need?
The Miniature Poodle has a distinctive fine, frizzy, wooly coat similar in texture to sheep’s wool. Solid white is most common, but the coat may also be solid grey, brown, apricot, or black. There are three distinct grooming styles for show Poodles: puppy clip, continental clip, and English saddle clip. Grooming-wise, this breed is fairly high-maintenance. Miniature Poodles are considered hypoallergenic, which can be a plus for allergy sufferers.
Do Miniature Poodles need a house with a yard?
Miniature Poodles are best suited for apartments and smaller homes. They are highly trainable and eager to learn.
Puppy Buyer's FAQ
See Full Guide Here
Visit or Video Call the Breeder
Visit in person if possible, or request a live video call to meet the puppy, see its living conditions, and meet the mom. Ask to see where the dogs eat, sleep, and play.
Get a Vet Exam Immediately
Have a vet examine the puppy within two days of bringing it home, even if it seems healthy.
Request Complete Health Records
Ask for vaccination records, deworming history, and vet exam results. For purebreds, ask for parent health clearances.
Get Everything in Writing
Written contract with health guarantees, return/refund policy, and spay/neuter terms. Verbal promises are unenforceable.
Use Secure Payment Methods
Pay with a credit card or another traceable method that offers buyer protection. Avoid wire transfers, crypto, or gift cards, which are difficult to recover.
Verify Breeder Credentials
Check USDA license, state breeder license, breed club memberships, and reviews. Ask for buyer references.
Know What to Look For
A trustworthy breeder welcomes visits, specializes in one or two breeds, prices fairly, and gives you time to decide without pressure.
Know Your State's Laws
Some states have lemon laws; others rely on contract law. Know your rights before you buy.
