I, also, never liked poodles much until I came here to PT and learned more about them. I had no idea they were so intelligent and I had no idea they were so trainable. They are right up there with the GSD and border collie in intelligence. I had no idea before I came here.

Now, not only do I absolutely adore them, but I would love one some day. Aly's Reece was the first poodle to enter my heart. The way Aly describes him, he seems SO similar to my angel, Graham. He is a beautiful old soul just like my Graham. He is the first poodle to make me want a poodle. Next came Bella. She is one of the most beautiful dogs I have ever seen, and she is quite the dear girl. I absolutely love gorgeous Bella and I would LOVE to have a standard if I ever have one. I love how Pam describes her. Her personality and her playfulness. I love that Bella.

I have a husband who does not see the beauty in poodles. He had a really bad experience with a poodle when he was young and he is not enlightened to them. My goal is to open his mind to the beauty, magesty, and intelligence of the poodle one day. Even if we never own one, I want him to at least see how incredible they can be if they are bred/trained/raised well.
