Hi, Jeanne.  She is doing great!  We named her Maci.  We put her in the wire kennel I was telling you about and put it in our kiitchen where our Newfy is tied up at night, and she has slept every night since we brought her home
WITHOUT whimpering!  She is going potty outside -- but, of course, we have to watch her because she may start to go in the house, but we take her out often AND Shadow (our Newfy) and tell them to go potty, and they both go potty!  She's opening up a little more, but is still a little timid at times -- everything, of course, is new to her -- sounds, things, etc.  I tookl her to the vet yesterday, and he said everything looked good!  He thought we had a nice healthy puppy.  He gave her her Bordatella (sp??) shot, too.  We go back in 3 weeks.  She did great with the vet too.  The kids just love her, and I think she will work out real well with them.  They are helping with her too. 

The only time Maci has had an accident in the house was when we didn't realize she had to go out (this was very early on, and I think it's been once or twice).  She just comes and tells us by wagging her tail that she has to go out!  She's got a really good temperment and can be very playful.  Her health is great.  Maci will be 3 yrs old on Feb. 11, 2010.  She minds very well and was and is a very fast learner (but I think poodles are pretty smart!).
Yes, I would be happy to give you a reference.  Are you still breeding with the same parents that are Maci's parents?

We named our dog Oreo.  She has been a wonderful addition to our family!  We couldn't possibly have hoped for a better dog! 
    
Oreo loves people and gets along very well with other dogs.  She is sweet, cuddly, and playful.  She loves to sit in a lap as soon as we sit down to watch television.  She was fairly easy to potty-train and started sleeping in our girls' beds at night when she was 9 months old.  We have her in her kennel in the house when we are gone but trust her to be in their beds at night.  Oreo is quiet and content to be anywhere "her people" are.   She is very loyal and endlessly patient with our kids who are 12,10, 9 and 5.  Even though we live in a neighborhood of barking dogs, the only time she really barks is when a stranger comes into our house.  She goes to Doggy Daycare one day a week and has a great time playing with all of her dog friends.  She is a favorite of the workers there.  Even though they have a special "little dog" room, they usually have her with the big dogs because she gets along so well with them and seems to think she is "a big dog".    

Oreo has been very healthy.  She has only needed something other than routine well-puppy visits and vaccinations one time when she decided to leap from a place that she shouldn't have been jumping from and had a sore paw for a few days.  A couple days of anti-inflammatory medicine and she was as good as new. She goes to her groomer for haircuts every seven weeks. 
We'd be happy to share our positive experience with others as a reference.  Like I said, we couldn't be happier with Oreo.  She has become a full-fledged member of the family.

Thanks for checking on her.

I guess I should start by telling you that before we got Tobi, I didn't like small dogs, I'm a big dog type of person.  But I have to tell you, he is WONDERFUL!  I have a son with autism, and I was a little afraid of how he would be with my son, he is great with him.  He has a great temperament, he got along well with my old Rottweiler that I had for 12 years, I recently had to put him down, and I have gotten another Rottweiler, and they are the best of friends.

As you know the reason we got him was because my niece Alyssa got Diamond from you, and we fell in love with her immediately.  We got Tobi for my daughter and they bonded right away.

Health wise we have not had any problems at all.  He is about 15 lbs now, and all the check ups at the vet have been great.  We couldn't have asked for a better dog.

I will be looking forward to getting another dog from you in the future.
Thank you,
Gladys

We are very happy with our selection.  We named her Tula.  She has a great personality and is very smart.  She weighs about 15 pounds and is starting to show red highlights in her hair around her muzzle.  I would be more than happy to be a reference for you.  I hope you enjoy the pictures!  The first picture is from our Christmas card last year.  The second shows her love of snow!  The last one is of Tula about a week ago.
 

Thank you,
Carre

Yes my husband Mike got a black poodle from you with a white streak down his throat as a Christmas Present for me.    I had to put my other apricot toy poodle down in 2001.   And I said I'd never have another one because I get to close to them.   But surprise I have another and I wouldn't trade him for anything.    He is now a year old.   I named him Kessler (yes my favorite drink) .   He is a good dog.   He loves water , taking a walk, and getting in the truck.    He is pretty well behaved and knows when I get the newspaper out he's in trouble and usually only takes twice to let him know he can't do that.
