“Hey Jacki -

“I needed to get a quick email out to you to tell you that Ringo is doing wonderfully!  I feel like he loved us so much and we loved him so much right from the moment we met him.  He’s done so well sleeping all night in his crate in Phoebe’s room (she gets up and takes him out at 6:30-7:00 when they both get up).  Outside of a couple little whines the second night (for 30 seconds), he’s never made a peep at night.  With some trainer help, he adjusted to all the crazy sounds of daytime walking in the city within a couple days.  He is a joy out on 24th Street (cute shopping street by us) and loves all dogs and people.  He sits at every corner before we cross streets.  He’s getting used to all the people who come and go from our home and the electricians and handyman and gardeners all give him treats and sweet talk.  He’s learned where to go potty and heals when I walk him around the yard — and we play after he goes potty in the designated are.  He DOES know how to fetch — and drop the ball and then sit.  Of course, he gets excited some times and we are teaching “settle.”  We know not to play fetch very hard and only for 5 minutes or so (the vet reminded us of this), so that he does not over-do his bones.  But he’s a genius!  He is amazing with all dogs and all children.  And he’s getting over some caution about who’s coming thru the front door and starting to get the stairs of a Victorian home (but we’re going slowly as I’m very caution of stairs).

“Jacki – he looks at me like he’s a human.  I can’t explain it — but he’s changed my life!  so many hugs and thanks!…sara

“PS – he loves loves getting brushed and snuggling and enjoys going daily to a play/training group.  The kids and Andy are equally in love!

“PPS – our trainer says he was so amazingly well-bred and learns so quickly — he’s resilient, happy, athletic, loving and huggy and so so smart!  He’ll stop and seem like he’s posing like a show dog!  You picked the best puppy in the world for us!  Thank you so much!”

Strangers always stop and tell me what a beautiful dog he is.  He’s more than I ever hoped for.  And he seems very happy too!

The United Kennel Club (UKC) classifies the Standard Poodle in their Gun Dog group. Showing a Poodle at UKC shows differs from showing a Poodle in AKC shows in that Poodles don’t have to have the “fancy hair cut”, known as a Continental, and one cannot be a professional Handler. UKC recognizes many unusual breeds that are not recognized by the AKC. Shows are lots of fun and is a good family activity to get involved in.

Congratulations Valri’ and Mimi!

"This is just a note to include with the picture of Remy, the puppy we purchaed on Nov 11 2007. He is well, happy and a joy to have in our home. My husband died in June and I don't think I could have done as well without my companion. He weighs 65 lbs., has a trainer that takes him for long walks twice a week, although he has a third of an acre, fenced, to run and play in. He's had swimming lessons but does not like the water. He's extremely bright (the trainer says), loving, becoming a good watch dog, and has yet to growl. Thank you for giving me a joy. Sincerely, B.R."

If you purchase a puppy between the ages of 8 weeks and 12 weeks there are some of things that you should be aware of.

1. A very young puppy, 8 to 12 weeks of age, is high maintenance. They do not have bladder and bowel control yet. To expect for a puppy this age to hold his/her bladder and bowel overnight is expecting too much. Be prepared to be picking up and cleaning, cleaning, cleaning up after your new puppy. My best advice for taking care of a puppy of this age is to get an “exercise” pen from your local pet supply and keep the puppy in that with newspaper down in an area of the pen. The puppy should know to go on the paper.
Buy some latex gloves at the drug store, you’re going to need them. Oh and maybe a new mop too.

2. Be prepared to get up in the night to let your puppy out should he/she be in a crate and start to cry. You must get up to let the puppy out as you do not want them to get the idea it’s all right to soil his/her crate. So plan on some interrupted sleep for a while. Puppy should be put to bed around 10:30pm and will need to get up around 6:30am, with a couple of trips out in between.

3. The very young puppy should not be left alone for any duration of time. Puppies this age generally have no common sense. They can find all kinds of things to get into mischief with. They are also very sensitive and if anything upsets them they can easily become ill due to stress. It’s important that your puppy be with someone at all times during this time of his/her life.

4. Your puppy is too young to go anywhere with you. He/she must be kept in your immediate surroundings. Never take a puppy this age on walks around the neighborhood. Their immune systems are not yet strong and if they catch something it can be a very heartbreaking and expensive experience. Stay home.

5. Do not have visitors coming and going. This can stress a young puppy out and cause illness.

6. If you have visitors make sure they step on a towel that has been soaked in bleach before entering your house or they remove their shoes. Germs and viruses can be carried in on shoes. You should also disinfect shoes before entering if you’ve been out and about. Always ask if your friends have been to area of heavy pet traffic before coming over. If they say “yes” then have them come back at another time when they have not been to a heavily trafficked area.

7. Stay away from your veterinarian’s office! Lot’s of bad stuff to pick up there. Give last vaccinations at home yourself!

8. Start teaching your new puppy to walk on a leash right away if he/she was not old enough to be taught by the breeder before going home. You’ll have to do this on your own because your puppy is still too young for obedience school and shouldn’t be around other dogs yet.

9. Do not let your puppy run around your house. This is truly asking for trouble. Your puppy is an infant. Make sure you understand this and treat him/her as that.

10. You will need to get your puppy used to being on the grooming table at this time. This will set the puppy up for a no stress experience when going to the groomer throughout the puppy’s life. Set the puppy on a non slip table once every 4 or 5 days. Make sure to never walk away or let go of the puppy for even a moment while on the table. They roll off easily and can be hurt badly if they fall. Brush your puppy, get the puppy used to having his/her toenails worked on, you can use a file for this. Make sure to keep the puppies ears free of hair. This means plucking out the hair in the ear canal. Make sure that the ear does not get irritated because of the tender skin of such a young puppy. If so then you will have to medicate ears accordingly so as to not have the puppy develop a painful problem. Do not take your puppy to a groomer at this age, the puppy’s too young to be around that many other dogs.

If this doesn’t sound like a barrel of laughs to you then we would suggest you wait until the puppy is over 12 weeks of age before taking him/her home. That way a good Breeder will have gone through all this for you and the breeder, being more experienced, will have spared the puppy the stress and strain you may have felt because breeders do this kind of thing all the time and are used to not getting any sleep, constantly being interrupted, being home bound and on……   Your puppy will be grooved in on the basics and life together, for you and your puppy will start off a with a much simpler routine.
