What a cute looking little girl you must be very excited!

Time flies!! Yes I appologise for going OT too

So cute, Thank you Angelo is looking gorgeous (Annika is too but you know I Japanese Spitz!) He has grown up so quick! How old are we now? I can't wait to see pic when he is in full coat, he will look splendid! You need to keep posting picts of him in the JS/Sammy thread!

Very true Ambrosia! Now how about a flood of puppy pictures (and some of Angelo!!) someplace on the forum to ease my impatience?

That was very informative and interesting Kimyata!

Lovely Pictures!!!! Still waiting.... hopefully will have a little one by Dec-March next year will have waited for over a year by then!

People can be so cruel, it makes me shudder to hear of how easily people can end a life.

TV shows my next female is going to be "Tempe" from Bones, Brennans mum! Love the show and was thinking of calling my next male, "Booth" :D

What do they have stall wise?

Either! Depends if I have 5:30am workshift or not. Sometimes will walk between PT clients and work.....I like going mornings as it means Chase will sleep for most of the rest of the morning or day but sometimes he wants to keep sleeping and so do I!

Is there any chance you could install a doggy door? That way he has access to both and you don't have to worry so much about it

what a beautiful boofy boy! We have a 5 mnth old at our park and he is so chilled and divine!

:D I love these stories!! I hope these two have many more years together.

very sad and I dont understand why people do this.

Great pictures guys! I am dying from cluckiness here!

So adorable!!!!!!

Hopping onto the Lab thread and asking for other breeders and recommendations couldnt hurt also!

that is horrible

- you never know may be interested in one of each!

No way! Was just curious

Thanks Ambrosia!!! Would love to hear more from someone else too.

Thanks PF. That was quite informative definately gives you more avenues to explore! If you can find a decent and knowlegable groomer that it.

Gorgeous pic Ambrosia! Out of interest, what are some other major differences you have found between the JS and GS?

Yeah that is the clip I was thinking of.......terribly common! Out of interest Poodle Fan, was is the name of the proper clip poodles should be clipped in? Probably something that breeders need to specify to pet owners.....

Ask groomers what they think of that.. the idea of seeing a pup aged 6-7 months (which is, coincidentally about the time of their second fear period) that's got a lot of hair on its face, feet and tail and will likely not be a straight forward bath, blow wave and groom would not be high on their list of favourite jobs. A poodle pup bred by a responsible groomer would have its first bath and very minor face feet and tail clip aged 6 weeks. It's so much kinder to accustom them to the process of grooming little and often than to face a major grooming session for the first time in an adolescent pup. It's traumatic for the dog and for the groomer. Yup, hence my comment about agreeing them to see the groomers early on. But what I am trying to say and I will say it more clearly- it probably isn't necessary to get the full on short clip! Especially coming into winter.
