Pearlie Mae- she is twelve years old and is in liver failure.

I am so sorry to hear this. One of my poodles died from liver failure and for her it was very quick. Within a week we had lost her. {{{hugs}}} to you and Pearlie Mae.

Gannie Goo-Gannon's Erin of Wildefire is in a complete shave down no hair on head ears or tail. she looks like a apriot curly wiemer which theres no such thing. gannie is a standard.

My Ripley says: "That's how I looked when they shaved me down in the shelter and it was winter!" At least Gannie will feel as cool as she looks since it is so HOT out now (at least up here!)


My Riley- Gannon's sir Raliegh of Erin- is in the show clip. Its not as bad as everyone thinks and the top not is not pulled all that tight. and he seems to think he looks like top dog. I do show him and only need one major and he will be a champion. Riley is a standard.

Riley is GORGEOUS!!!! I have been grooming my dogs for 30 years although have never done anything fancier than the puppy clip. My hat goes off to you for the work that goes into a clip such as that! I have tremendous admiration for the skill that it takes to achieve such a look. Also the fur that I have seen on some poodles (my apricots were a little lacking in this area) just is not good enough to pull that off. Their fur was less woolly than all of my others by comparison. Three cheers for all the poodles of the world for being so patient in standing on the grooming table and submitting to the primping, done by us humans, like they do. Paws crossed for Riley's Championship!!!!
