Two Bigelow Poodles Puppies - Black and Cream

Coat Colors

One of the reasons we love raising Poodles is because of the variety of their coat colors! Because of the Poodle fading gene, many of our puppies have coats that change from puppyhood to adulthood. Every litter and every puppy is different, so we can't guarantee a specific color per litter, but these are some colors we expect to see from our Dams & Sires.

Re-Homing

re-homing

Every so often, a family's situation will change to the point where they make the difficult decision to re-home their Bigelow Poodle. In these cases, we will bring the dog back into our homes until we can facilitate a re-home adoption for the beloved pet.

These situations are beyond the control of the family and are not the fault of the puppy. Though all cases are unique, some examples include: family illness, change of job (and time available for puppy,) and change in family circumstances that make raising a puppy impractical.

We consider this re-homing process to be part of our role as responsible breeders of Poodles and strive to find the perfect fur-ever home for every dog and puppy.
