I just wanted to thank you for defending Pit Bulls on that one thread. I've known and loved so many, it is really a shame that they have such a bad reputation.

Thanks for the explanation about parti poodles. I love your photos of Nova. What a beautiful looking girl.

I am looking for a dog that can work with kids that have autism. I have done some research and I feel a mini poodle would be great for my needs. Not sure to go w a young or older pup or a youndg adult ( any thoughts). I am thinking a male.color not such a factor. I have trained 3 therapy dogs in the past (sheltie, yorkie and a whippet) This dog will have big shoes to fill. I can't go into it hear to indepth but needs to be a very even tempered dog. Will hopefully be on the road promoting dogs in the autistic classrooms. I also want to do agility and obed trails for fun and stress reducution. I also plan to train towards a service dog but at this will not be registered as a service dog. I have a female poodle mix that is resource agressive that is why I am considering a male to avoid any dominace problems. Any thoughts or suggestions would greatly be appreciated. Also I heard color can play a role in trainablilty and thoughts on this? Thanks,
Laura

She is very pretty. I love partis!! They are so unique and it sounds like she has the perfect personality to go along with it. Lucky you. (Lucky Nova.)

Pink is definitely her color! This silvers are so neat. I just love how they shimmer.

Love your photos of Sonya and Nova. I also have a silver mini female. Gotta love the hot pink clothes/accessories with the silver coat-it's my fave

HI Sookster,
I am looking for Standard male poodle as a service helper. I was just wondering if you have any tips in training and things to watch out for. I have been researching for over 6 months now and have been looking a for quite a while . But i just think its better to ask folks directly. Thank you for your time.

Thank you! She has the most beautiful personality to go with her prettiness. I feel so blessed to get to have her in my life for the short time that I do.

I just looked at Sonya's album, she's so pretty.
