I recently introduced myself and have been casually looking for a puppy. Since I am in Colorado, I looked on Carol Brand's page and saw she had a friend with puppies. Calling that friend, Mary Lumpkin, who lives in Nebraska I found out she just happened to be visiting nearby with all her dogs!
My husband, 3-year-old and I drove over later that day and met Mary and her dogs. The puppies were everything I thought we wanted. Mellow, good with my daughter, and absolutely gorgeous. Mary mentioned she wanted to show one but then had to have arm surgery. Anyway, they were both perfect little black puppies, girls, on the smaller side, with AKC Champion parents.
Husband and I started talking about grooming, and I think I knew poodles had high needs but didn't really comprehend what that would entail. The result being we decided to wait and give this some more thought. It absolutely kills me to leave those beautiful puppies behind! So I'm writing as a public service to anyone who might be looking. :angel2: You can find the info for Mary on Carol Brand's website, Beauvoir Poodles.
