Adorable! You will get 15 - 18 years out of him, if everything goes well. I never cared for poodles, particularly, until my daughter "rescued" one. He was aged 8 when she got him and had been abused and deprived. I told her that it was a bad idea to adopthim because he would surely die just when the kids got to really love him.

He is a magnificent dog and has been a delight to the family. 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.

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.

Even though her poodle was 8 and abused it came to life with good human contact, that's a great story.

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.
