Henny Yes ! Please put it on your web site. We sent it to you hoping you would. We love her so much. I have let her get to fat, but we both are on a diet. She is the best dog I ever had in all my life. There will never be another like her. Everyone loves her and she the same. She rolls over then sits up and shakes hands for them and then throws herself on her back and bats her eyes at them so she can entice them to pet her tummy. If we are in Tulsa or our ranch in western Oklahoma we take her everywhere we go and people know her and will say Hi Little Miss Muffett even if its been a year since they saw her last. If I don’t bring her say ask where she is and complain saying ” Why didn’t you bring her ?” She sleeps with us and in the morning we kiss her and sugar her warm tummy like she loves then I scratch her on the back of her neck and shoulders. What is so smart and cute out of her is when I stop scratching her she takes her paw and claws my hand to make me do it alittle longer! Thanks for breeding dogs Henny! People that do such a good job like you are a real blessing to people like us that want to buy them and to the dogs to be treated with dignity they way God intended them to be. Thank you also for being honest I love never having to worry about things when I buy a dog from you. Thanks again Paula and Tom Watkins On Sat, Oct 29, 2011 at 9:21 AM

Hi Henny, I know it’s been a long hot summer in Oklahoma and it’s not over yet, but we hope you are all doing well. I just wanted to share a recent photo of Terra and Scarlet with you. They are doing well. They are both very playful, active, and loving. We recently went on vacation without them and missed them so much that I don’t think we’ll ever do that again. We’ll just have to find pet friendly places to take “our girls.” We still visit your website to see all the precious puppies you produce. As you know, we think you do an absolutely wonderful job producing outstanding poodles. Best wishes always, Denise and Barry Haggerty

I have to tell you that our little Gracie is just a bundle of energy. She’s definitely a momma’s girl (which I love) but such a tomboy. Loves her “yellow dog”, (Henry) who is SO tolerant of her.

She’s a bit over 5 lbs. All legs but growing into them quickly. Still teething.

I’m really trying to talk my mom into getting a dog from you. They had a boy poodle dog that died before Maxie die but they decided they were “too old ” to get another dog. They are in their 80’s and in terrific health. She loved that dog. I may have to get them one for Xmas: I told her that I’d take care of her/him if they died before us (she does aerobics everyday and he still works every day).

Love ya Henny – I’m so glad I found you. You are all I recommend to EVERYBODY!!!

You are in our thought frequently – Gracie has such a terrific demeanor. Such a wonderful healing tonic for me. And she is her own person – she definitely has made that VERY clear.

Thank you Henny – you have wonderful doggies!!! And I think you saved my life…

Good Morning Henny,

I just wanted to thank you ssssooooooo much for the puppy. I am so happy with the puppy I received from you. He and his brother, coquito, are doing very well. The whole family is so happy and excited about the dog. Even my mom, who is afraid of dogs is always playing with him and calling him. Benji is just gorgeous and very playful and well tempered. He is so smart. The first weekend (3 days) he was with us, he already learned sit and knew to potty on the newspaper. Every where we go people are always stopping to pet him and ask where I got him from. Even when we went to the vet, the docs. love him and are always kissing him. They tell me to bring him back just so they can see him once in awhile! I cannot be more happy with the dog I got. I want to really thank you for being patient with me and answering all my questions. It was my first pet and since I wasn’t in the area I was nervous and worried. Thank you so much, I know where to go for the next poodle I want! Thanks for everything, if you need any recommendation, please let me know. I have attached a picture of Benji and Coquito.

Again, thank you soooo much. Best money I ever spent!

Sincerely, Ola

Henny,

Hi! I wanted to send you the latest picture of our sweet puppy girl Miley! Miley is 14 weeks old and is doing great! She is such a sweet addition to our family and we are thrilled to have her. We thank you so much that you helped us pick the perfect match for her and us. I found your puppies on the internet while doing a search for red mini poodles. We live about 2 hours away so I was a little concerned that when we bought a puppy, we would only get to see them 1 time before we picked her up. We had a red mini poodle for so many wonderful years and had an exact idea of the kind of puppy we wanted. When we came to see you we instantly fell in love with the puppies and agreed to purchase one. What made me feel better was that you spend so much one on one time with puppies and you get to know every one of their personalities. You assured me that you would watch the puppies and would make sure that we would get the personality, look etc. that we had requested. We waited the 4 longest weeks ever to go back to your house and pick up our baby. When we arrived there she was. I knew instantly which one our Miley was. I picked her up and she began kissing me and snuggling right away. Princess Miley is her name on her papers and she is our princess! Our family is having so much fun playing with our puppy and teaching her things. Thank you so much again for picking the perfect match for our family! Your friends, Heather, Daniel, Kyle, Blake and Miley D.

Hi Henny, Well after over a year you finally found my Little Red Beau!! You picked the perfect little man for our home!!! I have looked for 10 long years to find just the right one and your persistence and patience in looking at litters and waiting and choosing just the right one paid off for our family!! I have such fond memories of my Aunt’s red dog named “Red” as a child! Those were some of my best times as a child, playing with “Red” and her puppies!! Now as an adult I can have cherished memories with my family with little “Beau”! He is so red and has the sweetest and most precious personality!! My grandchildren as well as everyone else said he was the “hit” of our Thanksgiving family gathering!

Thank you again for waiting on exactly what I wanted in color, size and sweetness!!!! You are the absolute BEST!!!!! I could never have found a better more loving breeder than you! Your puppies show it!

Thank you again,

Janice Stunkard and family from Tyler, Texas

Dear Henny,

Thanks to you I have a beautiful four month old poodle. She’s staying little and only weighs three pounds. I carry her with me everywhere I go and people always comment on her cute little face and rich, red coat. Jackie is truly stunning! She also has an excellent temperament, friendly and full of life. She gives everyone little kisses. Even though she’s tiny she’s very athletic. She runs and jumps and plays chase with our cat. This little puppy adds so much to our world. Though we’ve only had her for two months, I can’t imagine life without her. Henny, I cannot thank you enough! You are truly an excellent poodle breeder. I especially appreciate your honesty about the puppy and your willingness to spend time with me answering all my questions. I’m so glad I traveled half way across the country to get a puppy from you. She’s perfect!

Sincerely,

Barbara Hoffman

Dearest Henny, It amazes us how beautiful our little “Rusty” is. He is so full of life – he keeps us entertained constantly. He will soon be 4 months old. He loves to play fetch and go with us in the car. Everyone he encounters comments on his color and how gorgeous he is. He is happy, healthy and beautiful! We are in awe of you Henny – and how you enjoy what do in raising your beautiful poodles. They are all cared for with delicacy and love. You explained to us everything we need to know or asked. The mothers are well tended to during their pregnancy and the puppies are born into a loving and nurturing atmosphere. Each time we came to visit the puppies you were more than welcoming and we began loving and caring for our puppy before we ever brought him home. I honestly don’t believe that we could have found anyone who raises their puppies with as much care and love as you do and with the professionalism you have shown. You have set the standard way above the rest. Even after we brought our little boy home, I continue to view your website and see the newest babies you are raising. We feel extremely fortunate to have found you – and to be in the same city is even more amazing. We are not only blessed to know you but we are blessed to have one of your beautiful puppies.

Sincerely,

Linda & Bern Keeton, Tulsa, OK

Henny, just wanted to let you know that we have now had Jaylee for 4 weeks and she is doing just great. She weighs 5 pounds and is full of herself. We are taking her to the vet tomorrow for the rest of her shots. She is beautiful and a show stopper. She is fetching and returning to Glenn, comes right to you at her name, she can all most jump up on the couch and she sleeps all night from day one. Took her and had face and feet trimmed last week and when I went to pick her up was told everyone that came in commented on how beautiful she was and where did we get her. We are getting you name out there. She is just a dream to have. Will send you pictures before long. Hope you had a good visit with your friends and thank you for Jaylee. We see a lot of Cassie in her now.

Hello Henny, We hope this note finds you and yours doing well this Christmas. The last few months here in Florida have flown by and we are just so thrilled that Terra is here with us. She has been the perfect addition to our family. She is such an intelligent and loving little girl and she is always happy. She and our 8 year old Labrador. Belle, have become very good friends. In fact, it seems that Terra has brought a great deal of liveliness into Belle’s routine which Belle seems to enjoy a great deal. She keeps close tabs on the 2 cats as well but they are less appreciative than Belle is, as you can imagine. But, they do seem to realize that Terra has only the best intentions so they tolerate her and occasionally share a cushion or lap with her. Terra has completed one obedience class and we will soon start a second one. We are also looking for an agility class to enroll her in. She is quite the athlete. She can jump quite high and appears to have lots of speed and stamina when she runs. She loves walks and car rides and visits with neighbors. Barry and I want to thank you for the obvious care you take with your dogs and your breeding program. Not only do you produce beautiful dogs, you seem to have a certain intuition when it comes to matching just the right puppy with just the right family. Thank you for the time you took in getting to know us so that you could feel comfortable with entrusting Terra’s care to us. Our vet and his staff are impressed with Terra’s good breeding and good health. Wherever we take her, Terra draws a lot of attention and praise. It never goes to her head though! She is always loving and eager to please. We want to thank you from the bottoms of our hearts for your integrity and dedication. Because of you we have a wonderful pet who adds so much to our lives. We want you to know that we do all we can each day to be the kind of family for Terra that I’m sure you want for all of the puppies that come from your program. We hope to see you again someday. In the meantime here are recent pictures of Terra. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Best regards always, Denise and Barry Haggerty

Dear Henny,

I hope this finds you well. It is hard for me to believe that Bobby is five months old and is growing like a weed, He is just beautiful and knows that he is. He is truly a red head with a temper and all, He gets what he wants from all of us. The Cat has finally accepted him so we can live in harmony at the Culver house…

Henny, I feel so blessed to have met you and have one of your puppies because I truly believe they are just the best it really shows what an excellent breeder you are.

I hope you have a blessed holiday and a Merry Christmas…

My best to you and your family,

Hi Henny,

First I want to say how delightful it was to meet you yesterday. You are a very nice lady & Mickey & I were impressed with how caring you are.

Thank you so much for being honest with me about my puppy. They say that three’s a charm…you gave truth to that adage because this is the 3rd puppy I’ve bought since December of last year & this is the first one to be what was promised.

Now, about our little Ruby. My gosh! She is everything we hoped for & more. She loves to be wrapped in a blanket & held. She is already getting used to being laid on her back & getting her tummy rubbed. She slept in her bed (a soft puppy bed with soft sides) in between Mickey & me in our bed & she slept all night long. She did not cry & has not cried a time since we left with her. She is very bold for a young pup. She has investigated the house, including a dark room, by herself. I’ve never had a puppy do that. They usually stick to “mama” & stay right under my feet. Max did & so did Emma for the first couple of weeks they were here. She does stay right under my feet most of the time when we are outside for “potty” time although she will run & play close to me occasionally & move away to potty. She loves her toys & plays like a big dog with them. She shakes them & rolls around with them. She loves Max’s toys & drags them around…they are as big as she is & just as heavy! She found his little ball & she loves it. She gets it (it has fuzzy fibers around it so she can get her teeth in the part that sticks up) & runs to me. I will get hold of her & roll it gently in front of her & she will go get it & when I call her she brings it to me. She is responding to being called. She is very smart & so adorable. She loves Max & he is getting used to her. We have to watch him because he tries to keep her “herded” up when we call her or he plays as rough as she does. He does’t know he can hurt her so we have to call him down sometimes but he will lie down & roll over so he can lick her face gently. He is showing that he understands he has to be submissive when he is with her.

Our grandkids came & spent the day & they loved her. Victoria, who is 9, helped take care of her all day. They did a lot of playing & snuggling. Victoria made sure she ate & stayed warm & didn’t over exert herself playing. It was very sweet to watch Ruby & James & Victoria together.

Again, I can’t thank you enough for keeping a tiny puppy for me. We are truly & hopelessly smitten with her.

Sincerely Sandra

We purchased a brown female puppy from Henny two years ago. Abby is simply the best dog we have ever had. She is really smart and is a joy to have in our home. She is a great dog and is a full member of the family. Her health is excellent and her personality is outstanding. She is a perfect example of a top breed of minature poodle. She was easy to house break. Henny is also a rare type of breeder. She is very particular about who buys her puppies. Her spotless home is her kennel. She continues to take all of my calls anytime I have a question about poodles. She gives lifetime service to her owners. If you want a poodle you simply must give Henny a call. We love Abby.

Henny –

I just had to e-mail you to tell you what a WONDERFUL blessing you have been to my Mom. Let me give you a little background so you will remember us :o)

My Dad passed away in December. He and my mom had been very happily married 51 years. Even though mom is very active, Dad’s passing left a huge whole in all of our lives. We have a red poodle, who is our BABY. She has always liked Rusty, and teased us about letting her have him. I convinced her that she should get her own baby after assuring her that we would be HAPPY to “doggie” sit whenever she needed. I loved looking at your website and told her about it. She went to it and told me that she “wanted the one in the picture.” It turned about to be one of your puppies from Katherine that was born on June 9 (the same day as her beloved sister passed away).

Henny, I cannot tell you what joy “Rascal” has given my mom. He is just ADORABLE. Her vet practice told her what a good looking (as in WELL BRED) dog she has. Of course they wanted to know where she got him; They knew a lady who had lost her dog and thought this would be a great place for her. She gave them your card :o)

He is doing very well with his house-breaking. And is just the PERFECT companion for my mom.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! If you every want a reference, PLEASE use us!

Karen Bagwell

Ps – My “baby brother” is coming for a visit in September while my mom goes out of state! I am SO excited!!!! I’m sure that once he gets a little bigger and fully house-broken I’ll never get the chance again – She’ll take him with her :o)

It’s been awhile since we last communicated. Sophie is just a tad over 17 mos. She now weighs 13+ lbs. and I have cut back on her food because she is like a cinder block or a tank. Very solidly built. She has lost a little weight. Reds seem to be more solidly built at least Sherry was like that and now I see that Sophie is as well.

She is a wonderful, amazing dog. Bill and I have said repeatedly, if only we were younger, we would have wall to wall red poodles.There is no other color or breed of dog that can†interest us. Sophie is a true braniac.† We are amazed daily by her command of the English language. I cannot begin to tally the number of words she recognizes and responds to.

In all my years of grooming, handling and living w/dogs, especially a long relationship with the Poodle, she is w/o a doubt the smartest dog I have ever owned. Of course, we live in a giant playpen. She has toys in the living room, bedroom, office, dining room and kitchen. Occasionally even in the bath room. She continues to talk about everything. Nothing goes unnoticed or unannounced. She makes all her wants made clear to me. And believe me I must shape up and respond to her demands.

Henny, what is your secret? You must be so pleased to received these glowing reports on your puppies now grown into adulthood. However, there’s a little joke around her house regarding Miss Sophie whenever she steps over the line:”She’s only a puppy you know?”

Anyway, we thank you again for sending this wonderful Poodle. She is intelligent, loving, feisty and lives to play. What a great dog to come home to and to wake up to each morning. She sleeps happily in our bed. I can tell she is growing up because some mornings she doesn’t get up with me but lets me know she would like to sleep in.

Hope all is well w/you, your family and your wonderful Poodles.

Love from all the Siscos. Bill, Pat, Sophie and Lotus

Until December 2006 our family consisted of my wife, me, and our 7 year old toy poodle Ginger. The first week in December Ginger became ill and was taken to the vet who diagnosed her with sugar diabetes. Although the vet did his best Ginger died 8 days later.

I knew that Ginger could never be replaced, but we would need another poodle to fill that sickening, lonely void that her passing left. I didn’t have a clue where to start looking to find a reputable breeder, so talked to my vet. He didn’t know any but told me a few tips in my search.

First and foremost look for a breeder that raises the dogs as family members. If you find that the breeder keeps the dogs in cages, turn around and leave.

Second, your sense of smell should be the first thing to use when visiting a breeder. If the house has a “doggie” smell, turn around and leave.

Finally, ask for the name and phone number of the vet that the breeder uses. Then call that vet and talk to them about the breeder.

In my search for a breeder I turned to the internet, and found Henny’s Poodles among many others. First I was very much impressed with her website. It states that her poodles are home raised. It also includes her vets name, address, and phone number. Hmm! It looks like we are off to a good start.

I called Henny and made an appointment to visit her home. Upon arrival we were met at the door by a very warm and friendly greeting by Henny who had a great big welcoming smile on her face. As my vet had advised, I paid close attention to any objectionable odors that might be present. There were none! After being shown around I could see that there were no dogs in cages.

We had a nice cordial visit, and although money was discussed it was not the main focus. By the time we left we had obligated ourselves to two pups, and felt that we had made a new friend as well. By the end of January our pups were old enough to come home. The visit to pick them up was our third visit to Henny’s. At no time during any of the visits did we feel rushed. Each visit was genuinely warm and cordial. Henny displayed love for the pups she was about to send off to a new home, but said she knew that they would have a good home with us, as any of her clients.

Each visit left my wife and I in awe at the almost magical control Henny has over her animals. I even told her on our last visit that she should have a TV show showing how to train dogs. She softly talks to them and they listen. She smiles and says that it is like having a house full of 3 year olds. Henny’s Poodles are more than a business; her animals are her love and passion. Because of the love and devotion we, the customers benefit. I have also found that she is always willing to stop what she is doing to answer questions you might have about your pups once they are home.

My two girls? They continue to grow and change daily. As you would expect from a high quality Poodle Their intelligence is unbelievable. They are very friendly and loving companions. They have shown no aggressive behavior toward anyone or anything. The latest thing that we have noticed is a couple of times they have demonstrated that proud, pompous swagger that you see in show poodles during competition. We will never show either of these, but it is neat to see them do that.

Although Ginger is missed and memories of her will live on, the void has been filled and our family once again feels whole.

John & Irma Ballengee
