I'm looking forward to sharing with others who are also poodle lovers. In my opinion the poodle is the most misunderstood dog in the world. I wouldn't have any other breed.
I was raised with Great Danes and at one time long long ago, I bred and my father showed Great Danes. However, my first poodle was rescued from an abusive owner and I had Pepsi, a little miniature poodle, for 13 years. After Pepsi, I was hooked. I went to the Standard size because I am a large dog lover.
After I lost my last Standard - a cream female named Cheyenne, I said that I was through with the heartache and would stop sharing my life with dogs. That lasted 3 months and I couldn't take it any longer.
Now I have my first parti colored Standard. He is beautiful. Chance is a 3 1/2 year old gorgeous black and white standard poodle.
I do have one thing that I believe in which might make me a bit unpopular here. I don't like the interbreeding of poodles to everything else. I guess I don't understand it. In my opinion, if you want a dog that doesn't shed, get a poodle. I have been told by the owner of a Labradoodle that they wanted the coat of a poodle but the personality of a Labrador. What??? Poodles are the best personality ever.
Yay for poodles and the people who love and support this wonderful breed

Hello and greetings from a fellow Parti fan. You'll find all kinds here, but I think I'm safe to say that most of us here agree with you that a poodle is perfect as is, unadulterated.

Oh, and we love pictures!

Welcome to you and Chance! Yep, I totally agree, Poodles are the best.

That attitude is not going to make you unpopular here! Although rescuing a mixed poodle breed is a very good thing to do. Welcome! Partis are so pretty.

Thanks for that warm welcome. I need some help posting my pictures. Is there a trick or a certain form they need to be in to get them to upload.

If you look in the Technical Help section of the forum, there are some threads about posting pictures. Here's one where I put in a short Photobucket tutorial.

How to post pictures?

This thread has a tutorial about posting from your iPad, if that's useful to you.

Photos from iPhone/iPad?

Good luck--we want to see pictures!
