sheepdog 10 Report post Posted April 5, 2013 Once upon a time I had a lady come to visit the kennel. She wanted some kind of small dog, but wasn't exactly sure what breed she wanted. I named off several different breeds that I had available at the time, but when I mentioned Poodle, she was very adament that she did not like Poodles at all and would not have one under any circumstances. Ok, no problem I said, I have plenty of others to choose from. So we walked around awhile looking at all the dogs and I was explaining the good and bad points of each of the other breeds when we came to this one particular pen. Those are really cute dogs says the lady, what are those? To which I replyed, Ahhhhh, those are Poodles. In complete shock she says, Why those are really cute, I thought they had to have those sissy hair cuts! Lady left with a Poodle, after I explained to her she could have the hair cut any way she liked it, she would just have to tell her groomer that she didn't want the typical Poodle cut. She kept in contact for quite a few years, and became a real Poodle lover. If this story has a moral, which it really doesn't I just think it's kinda funny, it would be that you really need to know and reasearch a breed of dog before you get one. Since I've had dogs my entire life, I tend to forget that regular people really don't know that much about dogs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sheepdog 10 Report post Posted April 6, 2013 Well, at least you can have one! Many apartments don't allow any at all. Dogs can be a great joy and a sourse for so much entertainment. We are always laughing over the antics of the 2 we have in the house, a mini Schnauzer and a Standard Schnauzer. What kind do you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
