That would be great!

Oh yes, your pup is most definetly a standard poodle. Your full-grown boy is a handsome fella. My spaniel/poodle reply was to HoosierHawk's buddy in #176.

As to name, my 0 cents worth is that he looks like a Joey or a Davy, but you'll know better when he's running around your home.

afraidfortherepublic: I take back everything I ever said about poodles. I'm quite sure that they are the smartest breed out there, after training with a couple of poodles atwatching my daughter's dog. They put my Golden to shame with their intelligence and trainability.

word-warrior-bob: I was the same with poodles until I got my first one, I don't mean to denigrate any other breeds when I talk about their intelligence which you've been exposed to. I would love a dumb, happy, mutt just as much.

If you ever told me I would be a poodle enthusiast I would probably have said there's about as much chance as that as me wearing a Tutu and becoming a ballerina.

I, too, had to eat my words about poodles. A poodle I rescued caused me to do a 180, and now I freely admit that I'm a poodleholic. It started out that I was looking to rescue a dog but one that didn't shed, and it has turned into an absolute devotion to the breed.

I like poodles of all sizes, from the tiniest to the largest. As a petite woman, my 2 toys are the perfect size for me. But all sizes share the same level of intelligence -- second only to the border collie.

I'm tired of poodles getting a bad rap, so it's refreshing to see some FReeper FRiends singing their praises!

I like your poodles, they all have great faces and eyes. You can find some other rankings that put the poodle 1 and the border collie 2. They're always 1 and 2 though, some people think that overall the border collie is a little overrated as it gets most of it's credit for being a great herder.
