Welcome to Rio Grande Red Poodles

Discover the Joy of Owning a Rio Grande Red Poodle

Get to Know Us

Welcome to our little poodle family here in beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico. We are passionate breeders of beautiful red poodles, and our love for this remarkable breed shows in everything we do. Our dogs are not raised in a typical kennel—they are cherished members of our family until they become part of yours. We take great pride in bringing these stunning red puppies into the world. With a strong focus on health, temperament, and responsible breeding standards, our goal is to provide families with companions who are both loving and intelligent. Each puppy receives daily interaction, quality nutrition, and plenty of playtime. All of our pups are born and raised in our home, ensuring they’re well-socialized and cared for from the very start. When your puppy is ready to join your family, they will come with a clean bill of health from our veterinarian, their first set of vaccinations, and their AKC registration.

Our mission is simple: to raise healthy, well-tempered poodles who can enjoy long, happy lives with the families who adore them!

AKC REGISTERED

The American Kennel Club is the only not-for-profit registry for purebred dogs in the United States. The registration certificate is essentially a certificate of a dog’s identity, providing recognition and official documentation of the dog’s place in breed history. The dog’s pedigree traces its parentage back up to five generations. The only way a person is guaranteed to purchase a purebred dog, with all of the characteristics and traits of the breed, is to purchase an AKC-registerable dog.

Temperament

Poodles are the ultimate mix of brains and heart! These lovable, playful pups are known for their friendly, easy-going nature and love to be part of the family action. They’re smart, pick up tricks fast, and their affectionate side makes them the perfect cuddle buddy. Whether showing off their impressive skills or just lounging with you, a Poodle’s loving personality will always steal your heart!

Poodle Hair

Poodle hair is like a cozy, curly cloud that’s as stylish as it is functional! Super dense and naturally hypoallergenic, it's perfect for those who want to avoid the sniffles without sacrificing flair. The springy curls can be styled any way you like—from the timeless "poodle cut" to more low-key trims. With a little regular grooming, poodle hair stays soft, shiny, and totally shed-free, giving you the best of both beauty and brains!

Intelligence

Poodles are like the Einstein of the dog world! They’ve got brains for days, picking up new tricks faster than you can say “sit!” Whether it's solving puzzles, learning commands, or showing off their impressive agility, these clever pups are always up for a challenge. With their quick thinking and eager-to-please attitude, poodles can outsmart just about anyone (even their owners!). No wonder they’re the go-to dogs for everything from dog shows to being top-notch companions!

Great For Families

Poodles are like the ultimate playmates for kids! They're super friendly, gentle, and always ready for a fun game of fetch or a cuddle session. With their patient nature and playful spirits, poodles make great family pets, especially for little ones. They love being the center of attention and can even learn tricks to show off to their favorite mini humans. It’s safe to say, poodles are the perfect blend of fun, love, and kid-approved cuteness!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you require a deposit? Yes, a $300.00 deposit is required to reserve a puppy. If you are wanting to reserve a future puppy and join our waitlist, we would require a $100 deposit to secure your spot. All deposits are non-refundable and go towards the total purchase for your pup. We accept Apple Cash, CashApp, Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal.

Do you allow home visits to see the puppies? No, not until the puppies have received their vaccines. That is the only way we can ensure the protection of each pup. Like a new baby, the opportunity for young pups to pick up infectious diseases increases with all new contacts. We cannot risk exposing our dogs and your puppy to illnesses that can be easily carried around. We do offer video calls on a very flexible schedule if you'd like to see your pup at anytime! Just reach out to us and we'd be more than happy to get that set up!

When can I pick up my puppy? We allow our pup to go to their forever home at the 8 week mark.

Will my puppy be potty trained? We certainly do our best to lay the foundation for potty training. As they grow, we allow them to have access to a dog door that allows them to get familiar with going potty outside. It is our hope this will help get them get started in a good routine before going to their forever home.

Will my puppy come with any paperwork? Yes, each pup will come with a folder that includes their first vaccinations, their AKC registration paperwork, and a blanket with moms scent to help with the transition to a new home.

Can I purchase breeding rights? Yes, you may purchase breeding rights for any pup for an additional cost. That will have to be discussed and agreed upon.
