I just absolutely loooove the browns! I like the golden/green eyes and pink face leather. And I just truly love that poodle look. I'm glad they're not a super trendy breed. I can relate to the decision between a standard and a toy - I live in NYC, so I went with the toy, though there are definitely standards here in the city. Standards are so magnificent and people say, though I can hardly believe it I'm partial to toys , that the standards are even more human-like and loving. I'm very lucky my girl is only 3 - I hopefully will have another 17 years with her (that's another good thing about the smaller ones they tend to live longer), but could see a brown poodle in my future eventually, lol. My Betty would NOT appreciate another dog, lol, she likes cats.

I'm STILL waiting for Betty to be DOTD, lol, I submitted her pic years ago, but my cats have been COTD:
