All of my doggies are now in doggie heaven but I have had four.....all poodles. Peaches and Pumpkin were toy apricot poodles and got their name because of their coloring. Ashley was a silver miniature poodle and he name was also picked because of her silvery coat. Whitney, our black standard, was named after Whitney Houston. She was our "singer" and would put her head up and howl for her doggie biscuits.
