I went to visit my puppy again today "Sonny" For those of you who didn't see his first pictures he's a Standard Poodle.
It seems he has a little Alpha-Male (like me) in him ven though he's the little guy. The breeder tells me he's the first one out the door when the puppies go out, and when the puppies got some meaty bones he took his and went to a corner, then another dog next to him had a bigger piece he "threw" his piece down next to the other puppy and took the big one out of his mouth! He then took his big piece into the crate and kept it private, he gave a little growl when anyone tried to take it and they backed off. I then went into the pen and took it out of his mouth, he pulled back the first time, but he let me take it the next 3 times and waited for me to give it back to him.
We spent a lot of time playing together, a nice thing happended when I got there. I took Sonny out of the pen and had him on my lap and his mommy came and started licking me, I turned him over and she licked his belly then licked me, they they both were licking my face, that was fun.
Sonny's going to be very active, he pulled a mat down and a cardboard box with toys came out, he was looking for all kinds of adventure, but followed me when I moved. He also came to me most every time I called him, I put my arms out and said "YAY" and he wagged his tail and pranced and ran to me.
We then let all the puppies out for a puppy free for all, this was great fun, all of the puppies running around jumping on me, teething on me everywhere, multiple face lickings, not quite the "harem" in my fantasies but a reasonable substitute! Every time I had a different bunch of puppies licking my face I was like, where's my guy? He would manage to appear, give my face a few good licks, then go back to exploring and playing with the other puppies.
I get to pick him up next Sunday the 11th, any area FRiends are welcome to come visit him.

Just promise me, you won't shave him in that weird sort of nerf ball, pom pom on the tail cut. ;-)

Never going to happen, look at post 6 in this thread and go to my homepage to see what Sonny is going to look like.
Here's our vicious dog squaring off against Samantha, the Viking Kitty...
I'm not surprised, our 90 lb rottweiler is little more than jelly when it comes to our Viking Kitties. They're evil, I tells ya.
Whew! I like the overall body fro look. Good looking dogs!
Ping to a smile.
What a little cutie pie (poodle, not you Bob).
Have fun. Makes me want to get another doggie.
What a beautiful dog.
AWWWWWWWW! Great pics!
Happiness is a warm puppy!
Enjoyed the pictures -- Sonny's adorable.
Love your big boy, Jake, too.
Go Jets!
Sonny is adorable. Jake will love his little brother....eventually, LOL! I have a Golden Retriever and a Bichon Frise and it is so much fun to watch them play.
Got Rottweilirs? Post pictures!
Thank you for the nice compliment.
I love the MC Hammer gif, he should make a comeback, he was the greatest dancer I've ever seen. Too bad the campaign against him by the thugs that he was too "nice" worked and destroyed his career, now we're left with only REAL criminals in the rap world.
I loved MC Hammer too; but, unfortunally he's a great case where money and friends don't buy you much but debt to Uncle Sam.
He's still a cool cat (from my h.s. dances) in my book :)
Sonny's adorable and growing more adorable by the hour.
He's still got that steadfast look.
Funny how he's the little one but "boss dog". My Shelley was the same way - smallest in the litter but Boss of Everything. I think our new pup is wearing her down though. . .
Then again, maybe not.
Great Pictures, Beautiful Dogs!
Too bad you're in Jersey, we could have a lot of fun introducing your dogs to Retrieving or Agility.
Our Retriever Club has a training day next Saturday at one of the member's farms down in Newnan GA. We actually have a member with two poodles who actually retrieve! If they show up, I'll be sure to get pictures for you.
Ruby retrieved her first bumper today -- soft, small-diameter bumpers made especially for puppies. She seems to know what to do -- brought it right back and handed it to me. Shelley of course was insanely jealous and demanded a bumper of her own - RIGHT NOW! Ah, the joys of sibling rivalry!
Jake uses the backyard as an agility course he weaves in and out of trees and lawn furniture like a madman! The poodles started out in Germany as water retrievers, that's supposedly how the funny haircuts started, leaving the hair over the vital organs to keep them warm in water.
I made my own weave poles with lengths of PVC pipe, caps for one end, and plastic tent stakes for the other. Inserted the tent stakes into the end of the pipe, drilled a hole right through both sides of the pipe and the stake, then put in a bolt and nut. Works great! (you need 12 of them if you go in for competition, but you can start with 6. Start Jake on 3 to begin with and lead him through with treats. He'll soon get the hang of it. Always enter the first weave with the first pole next to his LEFT shoulder.)
Shelley the Wonder Dog in the weave poles (AKC Novice, which only requires 6 poles):
I retired her when she got her Excellent title, she's not fast enough to make time in Masters.
Ah, but they're so worth it, aren't they? :)
Must have been those other two puppies we saw come through here . . . just a minute ago . . .
