| 2008-12-16 | Olivia | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Good suggestions, thank you. I will try the tie down. He came out of a litter of 12 puppies and i don't think that he was ever left alone. I only have to use the crate occasionally, thank goodness, and that may be another reason he doesn't like it. He is spoiled being with me all of the time so when i need to use the crate he objects big time, even at night, so now we just let him sleep on the floor in our bedroom, it is working so far. As for the UTI i don't think that's his problem, he has been checked out by our vet. I guess i'll just have to keep my eye on him closer until he gets the housebreaking thing down. Hopefully that will happen soon...perhaps after he is neutered the dribbling will not happen. |

| 2008-08-31 | Janet | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Hi Labman. Up until now I have always owned and loved Labrador Retrievers too. This is my first Standard Poodle and I'm so happy with her that I couldn't imagine taking her back. I do feel cheated though, since I see now that her 4 toes is a result of inbreeding. Thank you very much and you will probably hear from me again! jangriffi@aol.com |

Housebreaking, training, feeding
Since nobody with Poodle experience has signed up, I will do my best using my general knowledge of dogs. I do know that they are valued as service dogs because of their lack of the dander than causes most dog allergies. I have experience and training through my volunteer work with a large dog guide school in modern, proven methods. The service dog schools have acquired a wealth of knowledge about raising well behaved, healthy dogs with long, active lives. They do not share it with the general public, but pass on the best of it to those like me that raise puppies for them. I am part of a group that has raised dogs for 6 different service dog schools. We meet monthly and share information. Please don't send me medical or breeding questions. An internet forum is not the appropriate place for them. Even if I could tell what was wrong from a handful of symptoms, you would still need to get the medications from your local vet. Breeding should be left to those not needing to ask simple, basic questions. Books have been written about it. Rather than ask me a question, start reading. Those unwilling to do the work it takes to produce quality puppies should spay/neuter their pets at 6 months.
