Hi i know someone from here (hi Cbrand)
fter hmmm'ing hawwing, looking but not being able to make happen for standard (i have aussies) i came home with a rescue boy tuesday night.
Bernard (Formally 'buddy') is a white standard poodle. He was advertised as 'free must be gone by xmas" and "we no longer need him for breeding great pet or breeding dog!" i guess he has been advertised before on kijiji (canadian version of craigslist) for some money but apparently no one took him. my "uh oh dog in trouble' radar went off- and i called. I do a lot of work wtih our local rescue here. After i finally got ahold of the 'owners' i learned
1- yes he was still intct they 'think' he's 2.5
2- they bred labradoodles with him
3- who ever shows up first gets him. . . no no need to talk about what you want to do with him.
SO off i went- trucking me and my two kids throuhg a blizzard, past accidents to get there first. So we met the boy- grabbed him got a bill of 'sale' (50 cents woohoo) and homeward bound we went. I figured no matter what i'd get him into the rescue and get him neutored and a good home.... well of course we all know i'm full of it- he's looking like he's here to stay *L* Got home grabbed the scissors and started chopping away so we could find his eyes- found the HUGE pebbles of 'eye goobers'
He's got a crooked nose! it's put on off to the side- completely doesn't line up- you can wiggle it back to center- but it moves righton bck to the right. No paralysis on the face though. He's got a VERY bad underbite- bu thankfully teeth seem to be in good shape- vet isn't too worried. He's had his shots done (because "the wife would know" was the answer to every single question on him!) He's slotted to get groomed on the fourth (my friend a groomer offered to come in on her holidays to do him- but he's not matted up- just stinky) and he's booked for the big snip snip on the 8th.
I can't wait to see him cleaned up and a resisting the urge to go take the clippers to him myself *L* but poodle trims are a whole different ball gae from aussie grooming!
