Olie:
LOL dont dont have more than 3 poodles.. This is also the max I want but I will not place my boys Onyx and Cole.. They are intact males and I am responsible for their behavior.
NOt too many owners will fair well with intact males no matter how wonderful a temperament they have they are still more charged than the average neutered dog, so these boys stay with me until the end of their natural life, never to be placed with friends or clients.
I now have 3 standards and 1 miniature. I will be keeping a girl from this litter and will go up to 4 standards adn 1 mini as such 5 in my house..
OK, LOL this is where I am stopping. A wonderful breeder friend of mine in Toronto is looking for a companion for her mom and asked me if I will be willing to place the girl I keep out of Lola and Cole's current litter and I told her yes, after she finishes her championship. And so No. 5 standard will be going to my good friend's mom whom I trust implicitly and will be coming here to whelp her 2 litters then she will be spayed and continue living with them.
This is how I keep my numbers down and still have the ability to sleep well at night knowing that both my pets and show/breeding dogs are in wonderful homes.
I really can not/will not own more than 3-4 standards. It will be unfair to the dogs, and also there are doggy number restrictions in my suburb.
