I've just come across this site. I would imagine there is a similar one for every state of the union.
Just a WARNING.... that health focused, reputable club affiliated breeders do not generally have a clearing house website with an 800 number nor do they emphasise the SMALLNESS of puppies, take pictures of them next to objects to emphasise their smallness, etc ) setting aside that many of these pictured puppies are very young and will appear very small anyway at that age.

Please read though how to find a good breeder in the Library sction and be sure to read this.
There is not a single piece of health info on this site. But they do describe the breed like this:
And goodness -- the exact same website for other breeds...: http://www.californiapoodlepuppies.com/ca-puppies-for-sale/ . And the EXACT same list of testimonials!
