So I found a young girl who is having to place her show potential female Spoo that is one yr. She sounds great (the dog) and from what the girl says, she took 1st place against 25 puppies in a AKC San Fransisco puppy match a few months ago.

She is only asking 400.00 with full registration and she is a white white Spoo. Im just concerned about heat cycles. Is it going to be completely un-manageable having Eli and her under the same roof? I don't want to breed them at all! I originally was going towards a male but I really would like a little girl too.

I haven't seen her in person yet but if time allows I may take a drive later this evening. Any suggestions about what Im getting myself into?

This pic she sent was from when she was 5 months old. Her name is Lyric....so cute!

This is the only other pic she sent....it looks silly though. I got the impression she may be in need of a good grooming. lol

I say go for it!

Dealing with a bitch in season is not that difficult

Since you are not planing on showing Eli why not have him neutered and eliminate that problem?

It depends on how your house is laid out and how much room you have as to wether or not having her go into heat will be a problem. In out house we seperate moody PMS'ing female from the boys or boy depending on who is staying with us at the time unless we are planning a breeding. The other obvious options is to have one of the other altered. I beleive you said Eli was not going to be shown, so if he doesn't need those parts..... You get the idea but don't tell him I suggested it. :P

I say go for it too... or I maybe share that persons contact info and I will!! Mwahahahaha. I am sooooo jealous!

What does Spoo mean?

I think she's pretty, and a beautiful color!

MM, Spoo is short for Standard Poodle

She looks lovely in her puppy shot. I'm jealous too, would love a white just so I can colour her

- as usual too many dogs, not enough time for me to have everything I want!

My first thought was to neuter Eli too then your guaranteed no accidents.

Edit - so did you get to go and see her? I don't know what the time is over there so not sure if you have had enough time yet

I didn't get to see her today. Its 10pm here and we just got home 30 min ago. She lives 1 1/2 hrs away. I need to neuter Eli so that would need to be done if I did get her. My husband is being negative about it so Im not sure anymore. I will just wait and see I guess. Blah blah!
