This is the six month old I got back recently. She went to her new home just a couple of days after I had her back — a great family came to see her and I thought they would be a really good new home for her. She now has two young girls who love her playing with her all the time. So glad I got her back — a breeder’s nightmare to think a puppy is not being treated well even if not outright abused — to be so neglected as she was — just starved for attention. Well, she is getting it now!!! Thank you Smith family for being good to her and for this cute picture of her new hairdo!!!

That is the thing I fear the most about having puppies – whether or not they will be loved forever. Rest assured all of the Comet x Dino babies are happy & loved! Comet is the most loved of all
How is Griffin?

Hi Maria — Griffin is fine, sort of — he hurt his back jumping up apparently awhile ago but enough that I skipped using him at the time for a breeding (not one of mine) and used Mondo. Which, of course is also fine — he is beautiful too, I think and producing very nicely. But, Grif is getting up there now, having turned 10 last march. sigh…

Yes, Debbie – she has a new beginning. Luckily, Maria I only know of one of mine that was actually abused as in hit (or worse, I’ll never know). That girl was Breezy — Velvet’s momma. I got her back too thank god, and she is now over 8 already. time flies…

It sure does. My sweetie Comet is going on 9 now. She is still a very athletic dog and can run circles around these youngsters, but she is totally grey in the muzzle and she is pretty chilled out most of the time. She is the most perfect poodle I have ever had and I’m so glad she was my first poodle.

Well, I spoke too soon! Comet did a bit of counter surfing when we left. I really thought the asparagus was far enough back on the counter, but I guess not. Old habits die hard.

Loki is beautiful – and just so charming to me!
I am so glad you got her back right away, and
groomed her and had a wonderful family get her,
I do love all dogs and especially Poodles greatly,
and can not bear to think of any being neglected or worse! My Luke is now six (son of Spirit and Lucca -all white, and looking so much like Lulu
we’ve always thought) and the most loving, happy and energetic dog you could imagine. He keeps getting more and more beautiful. People who see him anywhere always rave about him.
Thank you Victoria, for my baby!

Hi Marilyn – nice hearing from you and so glad your boy is so wonderful. He was such a beautiful puppy and so darling too. Give him a hug from his “Gramma”…
