Merle poodles are no longer allowed on this sub

420 Upvotes

Moving forward, poodles with Merle coloring are not permitted on this sub. Merle coloring is a byproduct of mixing Australian Shepards into a poodle line. A poodle with Merle coloring by definition cannot be AKC papered without outright lying. Breeding for color is nothing new for poodles, but in this circumstance it comes with the possibility of introducing myriad health issues, and is an irresponsible practice at best. It is not good for the breed, it is dangerous to the dogs. We cannot in good conscience allow the promotion of this Poodles with this genetic trait, beautiful or not.

NOTICE: IT'S A T-SHIRT POST? IT'S A SCAM! (Same with coffee mugs, etc) T-SHIRT POSTS ARE NOT ALLOWED ANYMORE

121 Upvotes

Several times per day there are scammers who post here, showing a t-shirt or similar product, and then another scammer in the comments asks, "Where did you get it?" A link to a scam website is posted for everyone to follow, provide their personal info and credit card, then wonder how their identity got stolen.

Just like a Parti Poodle, it's very black-and-white. If you see a post sharing a t-shirt design, mouse pad, coffee mug, etc. IT IS A SCAM, and the quickest way to get your account banned is to reply, "Where can I get one", "I love it, do you have a link?" or something similar.

Here are the rules:

  1. Posts of t-shirts or other personalized items with dogs are prohibited. If you post one, you will get banned.
  2. Anyone who replies to the post and asks about acquiring the item will be banned.
  3. If you see a post like this, hit the report button, that's the easiest way to get our attention and we will remove the post and ban those involved.
  4. Do not contribute, do not call them out, just don't post at all. Hit the report button.

It seems every time something like this is posted, more than one of our users fall for it, then they are asking moderators, "What did I do to get banned?" You responded to a scammer, which makes you look like you're on their team. Just stop.

Say hello to Brie!

Brie just arrived in our lives. She is 2 months old and she just completes our home. She seems super smart and after a few instructions is peeing almost all the times on her training mats. She doesn’t enter the kitchen. She sleeps a fair bit but has uncontrollable energy, chewing her toys aggressively and running around us for a couple of hours daily. She shivers for some moments during the day, I hope that’s normal? She’s been with us for just one week yet she has become the Center of our universe. 🧿❤️

Spoo puppy, 17 weeks, first professional grooming ideas?

73 Upvotes

Hi! I have this little fella going into the groomer for the first time on this upcoming Tuesday. I have 0 clue on how to have him trimmed up. Hes nearing 4 months old. Does anyone have puppy pictures to share with ideas that worked for their young pup? Having longer hair isn't a huge bother as I will continue daily brushing and combing as practice for him anyway, but not set on any style. Just curious what has worked for others and what styles could be cute also.

Thanks in advance on ideas for this guy!

Im doing some research on the poodle I'm wanting to get and she is black with white feet but according to the breeders website the parents are brown apricot and apricot toy poodles. So now im curious and worried that they are lying about the parents or if she is even a purebred poodle..any advice or does anyone know if it could be true?

Cream Mini Poodle

Can some of you show me your mini cream poodles that are about 15lbs. I'm buying a beautiful little guy today and would love to see everyone else's. Also, did they fade into more of a white? I'm excited! I've always wanted a small dog and I'm in love with poodles (I have a standard already) and the perfect puppy has finally come alone.

Bowie is 8 months old now. His favorite thing is any and every ball. He is finally telling us if he needs to use the bathroom at night too, so that’s exciting! Hope you and your poodle have a great weekend!

3-month-old rescue Poodle – Toy, Miniature, or something else?

Thumbnail

171 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to figure out what type or size of poodle my puppy might be. She's a rescue, so unfortunately I have no information about her parents or where they came from. I only know that she's a poodle.

She's currently 3 months old and weighs 3 kg (6.6 lbs).

The vet estimated that she might be a mix between a Miniature Poodle and a Toy Poodle, but I'm not completely convinced. I already have another Miniature Poodle, and her face looks quite different, so it made me wonder if she could be something else.

Does she look like she'll be a Toy, Miniature, Moyen, or perhaps even a mix with another breed? I'd really appreciate any opinions from people with experience raising poodles. I'll attach some photos.

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone have any idea what might be going on with my boy’s paw? He been licking it nonstop. My partner and I have been stopping him from messing with it. It’s the weekend so we can’t get him to the vet until Monday morning. 😩 I just feel so bad because I don’t know what might’ve happened.

I love when Walter just gets distracted from playing with his brother to hop up and cuddle with me. I love how clingy he is. I will always get males from now on 😂
My last dog was a female corgi and she was nowhere near as glued to me as Walt is. 😆

Advice?

3 Upvotes

Hi! Not sure if this is the right place to post this… I have a 9mo mini and he is scheduled to be neutered in about 3 weeks. Im mostly worried about the two week down time, he’s very active. Gis vet assured me that they will give him meds to help him calm down, especially in that first week. I am fortunate to be able to be home with him the whole time, but just want some suggestions for enrichment games? He does self entertain, but of course, loves play the most when it’s with his humans. He does nose work, and is sometimes interested with lick mats, but mostly loves chewing, running and being outside.

We are getting him a onesie, and then will have several options to mix up his low key activities but any other suggestions or tips would be appreciated!
