Wow, I thought that was a stuffed toy at first!
Should not have shown that to LittleMissMC!
Is that a Mop ?
Oh my word, hello you bundle of cuteness. 😀 What breed is Poppy?
It might be Cougar after the first time it chews her Louboutins.....

I'm still of that opinion.
Cuuuuute!!!
Welcome to the fold Poppy!
...what is it? The long legs make me think Aussie Doodle?
(Ours is 19 months, mad and brilliant)

The first turd will shatter that illusion.
She's a standard poodle, she has a bit growing to do...
She's a beauty.
She's lovely 🙂
Looks quite old though, puppy ?

Nor me to the lovely Mrs B

She's only 10 weeks old - she's got a lot of growing to do to become a full-sized poodle.
Has to be the cutest puppy on STW today. Shouldn't have shown my daughter!
Co-incidentally I was just watching Crufts with the stupid overgroomed poodles. I was just thinking there should be a decent dog in there somewhere! I quite like a standard poodle as nature intended. What are the breed and behavioural characteristics?

Hi Rich, you win 😀
Fin says hello 😀
Please don't take Poppy to the poodle parlour, let her embrace her curls. Oh and a polite request to have regular updates with pics obviously. 😀
Yes, updates compulsory
Lovely 🙂
Amber at 8 weeks

Surprisingly, as we live in the middle of nowhere, a neighbour half a mile down the road breeds toy poodles and does clipping - but she doesn't like silly haircuts, so a general all over trim is what we have in mind when Poppy needs it.
I think at 14 weeks she has now reached the doggy equivalent of the "terrible twos". I'm sure she does things she know she shouldn't on purpose. And she's torn my favourite new jacket today...
What are the breed and behavioural characteristics?
Intelligent, daft and completely clingy seems to sum up a lot of poodles.
Puppies are ****ts. Ours is 16 weeks and beginning to settle down, but still wants to chew the boys (my children, not, you know, the boys...) and still races off with a sock or pair of pants when you try to put the washing on.
Can't wait for him to get to a year old and behave a bit.
All par for the course!! 18 months to Two years they chill out finally!!
Any more pics!?!?!?!?!
Rickos no they don't get any better our cocker spaniel is five and still a sock thief!
Thread needs more pictures. We had a boxer when I was young that basically remained a puppy her entire life. She was also stone deaf, which made things interesting.
More puppy pictures please 😀
Our cockapoo has the 'undesirable' characteristics of both her half breeds; she's absolutely mental / always busy from her working cocker mother (we were warned, keep them busy or they'll go self employed and you won't like the jobs they find for themselves - I've lost several good pairs of merino socks that way, she only likes mine, and the sweatier the better). And from the poodle she always wants to be around - you can't open the fridge door without her appearing a nanosecond later (she's faster than the light coming on, I'm convinced), and is constantly chatting, little grumbles and groans and growls about nothing and everything.
All par for the course!! 18 months to Two years they chill out finally!!
Can someone please resend the memo to her - 4 years now, still into everything.....
The chewing and sock thing lasts ages I think - our dog is now 16 months old and she's no less mental than she was at 10 weeks. If anything she's worse!
Not just socks that get stolen - anything goes - and she's stealthy like a ninja.....

They all seem lovely. Let's face it, a bit of naughtiness is fun and very cute!
More puppy pictures please
Here's Wilma when she was around 8 weeks old.

Cute when they are little but still as much fun as they get older.

@Tracey - How does Fin do running at bike pace in a muzzle? Is it a specific make? My mutts seem to overheat or tire quickly whenever I've tried it.
She has the muzzle on because she continually trys to get my shoe laces when we are out on the bike. and I end up with big bruises on my left leg from when she gets the lace and wont let go. Its a rubber one and they came in different sizes. She dosent seen to overheat or tire wearing it or not wearing it.
Its the same as this, Baskerville Ultra Muzzle

She's grown a bit, from 8kg when we got her to now 17.5kg, and getting taller too.
