Indeed!  In their own, elegant, princely way!

Such a wonderful breed of dog. Great in so many ways, expensive to keep groomed but so worth every penny! Poodle-Love :)

@SimplyShihTzu We did the grooming ourselves - it wasn't that hard; we kind of liked our monthly afternoon sculpting the dog into a good shape!

Oodles and oodles of precious poodles. I love it!

Gus died about two weeks ago - unexpectedly of what appeared to be cancer - just shy of his sixth birthday. He was a fabulous dog; his whimsical and intelligent ways were well integrated into our daily life. We are thankful this video remains and his life can continue to bless others!

@RoteFedern Yeah I hear that: although some people get in a snit, I think it is great to see em off leash, having fun, and not having that stupid show clip that gives the breed a bad rep--this shows em as smart, fun, athletic, and getting along great and why they are one of the best dog breeds ever.

I had a great moment.. My sister that raises great pyrees, asked me if crunchy would remember her...Crunchy never forgets an owner...My sister kept crunchy for a year. He was so happy to see her after 2 years and he didn't forget his training....he jumped up beside her and kept jumping until she petted him. Standard Poodle rule.....

@RoteFedern I'm so blessed that you enjoyed the video! The party was a real hoot. The gal in the poodle sweatshirt held it for her oldest dog, Reuban - an agility champ and veteran therapy dog. She wore rabbies tag (or dog tag?) earrings, made that wonderful cake - which I assumed was for people, but it was all dog food!, etc.. It was held at the local kennel club facility and everyone had a wonderful day!

@MissGarland20 Gus was on the cheap end at about $750 ... cheap, however, included some inbreeding we were not aware of until we were holding him in our arms and paying for him a couple hours away from town. Yes, I had asked about inbreeding ahead of time, but ... The inbreeding, the vet felt, was likely why he died so young. All this to say, I would encourage you to research well and pay what you need to ...

@MissGarland20 Let me know, please, if your dream comes true! From what we experienced, this breed is worth the investment ... just amazing dogs!

@bk2pla Thank you so much ... it's been a year and a half and I still miss Gus - his being there - his gentle movements past me - his darling way of living - his company - and the sound of his feet clambering down the steps along side of me whenever I'd go downstairs! My husband feels he doesn't want to go through losing another dog, so we are on hold ... if/when we get another, we both very much want another standard poodle!

@omgbabiesatemydingo Thoroughly agree! They are fantastic dogs ... they don't do stupid funny things like our former dogs ... Gus was dear in his routines and habits. He never barked to go out ... he'd just sit near me calmly and give me a quiet but urgent look. Fantastic dog - fabulous breed. Highly, highly, highly recommend ... !
