hm... I totally agree with Giselle. Breeding a Toy to a Mini, even if the dogs are in the same breed, is no different than breeding a Doberman to a Rottie. Mixed breeds. They cannot be shown or worked in any AKC or club events, nor will they be able to be registered. Not only will you get much more money for AKC registered puppies, you'll be able to give your buyers security and proof of lineage. Your dogs sound like great pets, maybe you should consider altering them and keeping them as loved pets?

My Grandma is a total Poodle person, her best friend breeds Standards and she's had Poodles for years. She is also having trouble finding good reputable local breeders of Miniatures, mostly because Poodles are being *ruined* by puppy mills and BYB-ers breeding trendy poodle mixes. PLEASE do buy either a toy female for your male or a mini male for your female, health test them (it sounds like your Vet just said they're healthy... you will need to spend $100's on hip, eye, and elbow x-rays), and preferably show them or get them into an event like Agility or therapy work. Poodles are also very intellegent and they could probably do well in Obedience . You should seek out a really awesome Poodle breeder (on the internet, or in person) to talk to about everything!! Go to local dog shows and talk to Poodle owners/breeders there. Just because you bred 25 years ago doesn't mean you've got everything down... a LOT has changed since 1980
