We have our shih-tzu and our spoo and a 10 month old. What is it about poodles that make you just want more, more, more? I can't help myself from browsing through puppies and other dogs. Crazy because we are currently trying to conceive #2 and realistically can't handle a third dog! But it sure is fun to "window shop". Maybe some play time with a fellow poodle friend will help.

Haha- it really has! I really just want a bumper sticker that says, "I have standards" so I need at least one more to make the sticker true. LOL!

This girl is a 6-year-old apricot being retired from breeding. We shall see!

Uh, oh. Careful... It's kind of like kids. Two is a lot more than one and then there's three. We won't talk about three. (Actually, I am thoroughly enjoying three).

How old is dude? The only issue with two dogs close in age is that you will have two old dogs in the future.

Hey what's one more????? Poodles are like potato chips. You can't have just one. Hehehe. MPS strikes all of us.

Yep 2 dogs same age is how I ended up with 4. Was worried about losing omar and Lila close together. So we did lose Lila but we got Omar a new girlfriend. Lol. The cycle keeps on going.

Carley's Mom

I have no regrets about getting Stella, but it is harder. I find I don't have the time to groom like before, it takes so much more time to keep two mat free ect. You can't take two as easily as one when going somewhere. I have to watch stella about taking treats ect away from carley. Carley has wondered more now that she has someone to explore with, so I have to keep my eyes on them much more than I did. With one, Carley just stayed by my side, with Stella she has more confidence ... I am so happy that Stella needed a good home, had she already had one, I might feel differant about getting two.

Having two older dogs does concern me a bit, but then again, we had two older large dogs before and it worked out just fine. One was a lab and then the other a lab/chow mix. Granted, this was before we also had two kids, but still, we know what life with two big dogs can be like.

I am going to be very picky about #2, however. I don't want any regrets. We have one fabulous dog already, so I'm in no hurry and I'll only be bringing her home if she is a healthy, very well-behaved girl. That might sound too picky, but we just don't have the energy with two jobs, two kids and two dogs to put a ton of effort into lots of training right now (otherwise I'd get a puppy!).

I hear ya on not wanting to deal with a puppy. I have 3 dogs, and when we started looking for a boxer (my heart breed, sorry...), I contacted a rescue and gave them a ridiculously long must have/must not have list. I thought I'd be told that there is no such boxer on Earth, but...we got Dempsey! He's 5 years old, and we realize that he won't live more than probably 5 more years (in a perfect world), but at least they will be enjoyable years!

Good luck meeting this new girl! I hope she's everything you're looking for!!
