About Astro Poodles

---

We are a husband and wife team of conscientious hobby breeders of Purebred Poodles in Southwest Florida, USA.  This is our first year breeding Bellatrix and Draco; they have turned out to be terrific parents. Caring for our Astro Poodles is a hobby of passion and labor of our love for the Moyen Poodle breed. Our dogs are vital members of our family and live with us in our home, not in kennels. We hope to place our puppies in homes that are interested in occasionally contacting us to let us know how their new family members are doing. 

We've built this website for you to get to know us and our apricot moyen poodles. We hope you enjoy the photos and will feel free to call, text, or email us for information on our little stars. We'll be updating the photos as the puppies grow.

You may wonder why we chose "Astro Poodles" for the name of our little ones. It's really simple.  Draco and Bellatrix are the names of stars and we are also amateur astronomers. In our free time, you can find us with our telescope viewing planets, constellations, and nebulae. Janis' brother is an astronomer and has taken fabulous pictures of deep space objects. That explains the names given to the puppies. They've all been named after distant stars.  

In the world of poodles, most standard poodles are 18 to 24 inches high at the shoulder and weigh between 40 and 70 lbs.  Miniature poodles grow between 9 and 15 inches and weigh around 15 to 17 lbs. Moyen poodles are not recognized by the AKC, but they are recognized in Europe as a fourth poodle size. They are medium poodles and their size is typically between 15 and 20 inches at the shoulder and their weight is between 20 and 30 lbs. There is some overlap with the standard poodle, but their lower body weight tends to make them more agile.

We hope that you enjoy getting to know our apricot moyen poodles and what we’re up to!
