Hello, I have been lurking and reading posts (and looking at pics

) for a few weeks now so thought I should really introduce myself.
I am not a poodle owner

. I love everything I have read about the breed and the one's I have met have all been great dogs. I have vowed that my next dog will be a poodle, probably a mini.
I have 2 dogs, a 13 month old rottie and a 2 1/2 year old mutt. Unfortunately I have a self imposed 2 dog rule so no poodle for me for a long time. I grew up with rotts and love the breed but i am so drawn to poodles. So I hope to learn lots more about them from you who actually own them.
My 3 year old daughter has also fallen in love with them, she has a pink poodle soft toy which she loves and has decided she wants a poodle, a pink one! Just to stress, this would NOT be the reason for getting one, I have admired them for a long time (and it wouldn't be pink).
