Wow! She looks like a great dog. I could have never let either of my girls around children so soon. She is much prettier than I thought she would be! She is just beautiful !!! Thanks for sharing! And Thanks for giving that dog a chance in life, so happy for everyone.

Thanks everyone! Isn't she splendid?

She's is still doing great- no issues at all with pottying outside or anything.

Interestingly enough, Dude didn't have any issues with her until bedtime. When we all headed into my bedroom and my husband and I got in bed, Dude got in is and then he growled when she came in the room.

We had all been in and out of the rooms throughout the day and he didn't do that, only when we actually got in our beds.

She slept all night without making a peep right beside me on the floor.

She hasn't barked at anything- not the UPS man or a neighbor walking their dog past the yard. The only slight issue that we've seen is that when there is food out, she will stand up on the counter to check it out. But really, that's hardly an issue- we can fix that.

The bright side is she is highly food motivated and we taught her "sit" and then "down" yesterday.

I can't believe how lucky we are to have found two wonderful adult poodles; I really think she is going to fall into the groove here without a hitch!

That is so good to hear ! I don't understand why everyone don't want adult dogs....I have not had a puppy in over 25 years and I don't think I will ever have another. Adults are so much easier and you can see exactly what you are getting, no surprise later... They cost less, or free! It's the only way to go.

You are lucky! Both of mine still go nuts when anyone comes to the door. I just about had Carley trained and then Stella started it all over again. You have two great dogs!

P.S. Another wonderful thing about giving an adult dog a home is that you are taking a dog in need, instead of adding to the over breeding of puppies!

What a great thanksgiving gift..your story brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for opening your heart, mind and home to this beautiful girl. She will change some over the weeks to come..she looks so calm and that shouldnt change..but as she learns your home is her home..she may bark at the mailman etc..I wonder if she has ever been groomed? How did she do with the blow drying? She really is a beautiful poodley girl. What a great save..I wish all the dogs at that "breeders" could be rescued and that they would not continue keeping dogs in that way..but we have to accept what we cannot change and have the courage to change the things we can.

Congratulations! Daisy is a beauty. So happy to hear that things are going well and hope it only gets better. You all have a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!

Because of Kuku telling us all about Peaches, this little guy got his forever home. I was telling my mom about the standard in the puppy mill and we had been trying so hard to get this little guy out of his awful home, and after our conversation, my mom called and told the woman she would take him herself ! His owner kept him in a crate for the first 18 months of his life, without even water expect for the few mins he was out each day. She claimed she could not get him housebroken and my mom has had him since kuku first told us about Peaches and he has not once gone in the house! Oh and this is a "show " person! So don't ever think just because someone shows their dogs that they are getting the best of care...

I have had similar experiences with other dogs that have been introduced into my house. The bed is a highly territorial area. As for barking, It takes a couple of weeks for a dog to be comfortable in a new home. Her personality will continue to evolve as time goes by.
