KALE'S Human Parents say (in the left picture, she is the dog laying with her head held high): "Kale is just as sweet as can be.  She is a lover.  Kale's color is darker but not sure what I would compare it to. She is so quiet and mellow.  Sure she gets rowdy now and then but she settles very easily." Kale is loved by the owners of Autumn Shades Standard Poodles.

BOOTLEGGER'S Human Parents say: Bootlegger is growing so fast, and he is so laid back. I really want to tell you, I'm so lucky to have found you. He has a little buddy right now, same age, but different breed--a miniature ShihTzu. They really are a pair. Bootlegger doesn't realize he is a tad bigger..same age even." Bootlegger goes to work everyday with his owner at HBJ's Grooming.

SANDER'S Human Parents say: I have to share with you again how awesome Sander is. Fantastic in his obedience classes – wins the mini competitions with no problem, and we will start puppy agility soon, too. And handsome! He is 34 lbs. at 18 weeks and 21 inches to his shoulder. Here are some recent photos. I’ll try to wait a decent amount of time before updating you again. I can’t help myself! Thanks for the object of our affection!"

PIPER'S Human Parent says: She wants to chase the rabbits, but the squirrels really make her crazy.  I bought an Easy-Walk harness which hooks in front of her chest.  This was worth getting.  It's like she knows she has it on, so she doesn't pull.  She's a doll.  Every once in a while she gets "wild'eyed and crazy. Having her is a true joy.  She has so much energy, and really wants to run all the time.  Her vet said she is very healthy.  She is funny.  When we are in the car coming home from training, she'll try to chew or lick the top of my water bottle because she wants a drink.  She knows the bottle has water in it.  She is so much fun, and I've said this before, she is so smart.  I talk to her like she is a person, and she understands what I say.  Being her mom, I guess I am prejudiced, but she is both gorgeous and brilliant."

CEDAR'S Human Parents say (and yes, Cedar's pup is also named Cedar): "Last night we were watching Cedar puppy and we have never had a poodle who follows her nose like her!  She gets a whiff of something and her nose is high in the air, on the ground . . . pretty interesting to see how different she is than a ‘normal’ poodle.  I do like her face – I prefer the squared off nose, verses the pointed ones.  We just love her!"
