Hi folks,
Thank you for your replies. She is a sweet girl who along with a sister was given back to a breeder due to an increasing family, and lack of time to train. In some ways she is a rescue dog. I was flabbergasted by how quickly she glommed onto me when I first visited her. She is great in the car. She doesn't want to chase the cats, she's just interested (and they are freaked, lol). She has some "paper training" and I am going to attempt crate training. She is whiny whenever I leave her sight. I have great neighbours, thankfully.

She hasn't really had a name of her own.

But, like all poodles (or puddles as my Dad insists on calling them), she is SMART and listens closely.

Two of my four cats have made appearances. The maine coon (Sophie) is quite intrigued and leaves me hopeful.

Any thoughts? Thanks again for your words!
