Pam, I was thinking the exact same thing today....How I wish the world could see them in their puppy cuts without the distraction of that "big" doo!! Poodles have always been ranked among the most intelligent of dogs and were always well loved for their sporting nature with a real love for water!! No wusses them! I have come to know and love several Poodles these past years, (Lucky and Pixie are both good friends) and I don't think I ever met a MORE loving, sweet breed of dog!! Right Bella??? Like you, I was rooting for each and every one. I wanted them all to win. Of course, if a Labbie, Golden, or retriever type had won, I would have fainted, and of course been proud! But it's just the joy of watching a "dog" do it's thing, be presented in all it's glory for the world to see, that makes me SO proud to say I'm owned by a (errr...make that TWO)
dogs!!
