Urban Hero Poodles
AKC Breeder of Merit · Standard Poodles · Tullahoma, Tennessee
The Program
Every dog in our program is a working, tested, titled member of the family. Not a production animal. They live in our home, sleep in our beds, run obstacle courses, and occasionally steal food off the counter.
AKC CH Briopanache Is Turning Up the Heat
Honey is our foundation show female — a true Breeder of Merit Standard Poodle in every sense of the title. She earned her AKC Championship in the show ring and continues to be professionally handled in conformation. Off the show lead, she is as soft as she is stunning: calm with children, affectionate with family, and extraordinary in the whelping box.
She is currently expecting her second litter with Enzo, due August 20, 2026. Go-home dates are the 2nd–3rd week of October.
AKC CH SHR Urban Hero's Essere Ferrari JH RN · CHIC #208957 · Son of Zena
Enzo is everything we hoped he would be when we kept him from Zena. He earned a Winners Major in the conformation ring, a Rally Novice title with a First Place ribbon at the Huntsville Obedience Training Club, and competed in the One World Canine Obstacle Course in Alabama — an event that demands athleticism, bravery, and an absolute willingness to work through mud, water, and obstacles in partnership with his handler.
He is the sire of the Honey × Enzo fall 2026 litter. His temperament — focused, trainable, genuinely joyful — is exactly what we want to carry forward in this breeding program.

Black & White Parti · Son of Zena · CHIC #186025
Fonzie is a parti-colored son of Zena — striking in black and white at 25.5 inches and 55 pounds — and one of the most accomplished dogs in our program. His title string is a testament to what a well-bred, well-trained Standard Poodle can do. He is a son of our foundation female Zena and carries her exceptional structure, drive, and trainability.

Silver/Blue · Foundation Female · Urban Hero Poodles
Zena is where Urban Hero Poodles began. Silver and blue, spayed and retired from breeding, she is the dam of Enzo, Fonzie, Solis, Prada, and Cooper — five dogs who are themselves building the next generation of this program. She earned her retirement.
Zena serves as an active service dog for Logan — our oldest son, who is deaf. She is his constant companion, his working partner, and the most important dog in our house. She will live with this family for the rest of her life.
She is on the couch right now, probably begging.
