The family that adopted Arrow is from Russia.
They bought Arrow for their son's birthday.
What a great birthday present!

Hi Terry,

First of all congratulations on Annie and Pixie puppies. They look so cute. I am sure they will be as wonderful as Arrow. Arrow doing great. He learned how to go up and down the stairs pretty quick. His
potty training going well also, he does not have much accidents and actually goes to the door when he is ready to go. The only thing that we still working on, biting us when he plays. But he is getting better with that also. He have grown so much, we can see the different already. Everyone loves him so much, we are so happy that we found you!!!!!
Attaching couple of Arrow pictures.

Take care, Liliya

Hi Terry,

Just thought I'd let you know that Piper (from the December litter) is doing great!  She is super well behaved, and thus far has only managed to destroy one pair of shoes, which isn't too bad in a family with three kids who leave shoes out all the time!! 

She makes us laugh!  She has such strong hunting instincts in such a little dog and loves the water!  We can keep her out of the pool, sprinkler, stream, rain puddles.....

Her obedience training is going well although I don't think she will ever be quite as flashy as the herding dogs I've had.  She is much, much braver then the sheltie or belgian and that is worth more then a few points in the obedience ring!!! 

We took her on her first airplane/ camping trip last weekend and she could not possibly have been any better!  I was a little worried we were throwing too much at her all at once (airplane, camping, a rodeo, and a HUGE thunderstorm) but she played happily, greeted everyone, or lay quietly in her little bag--she even when to a restaurant and slept quietly in her bag under the table.   

Oh she did end up with some brindle on her face and lower legs and she also has some white on her back but neither are really very noticeable.

We are enjoying her very much!

Hi Terry and Toni,
 
Well, we have had our little Dixie Doodle now for almost 3 weeks.  She is AWESOME!  She has been sleeping through the night from day 3 and wakes with the alarm clock on week days and sleeps in on the  week-ends.  She can sit, shake and high-five.  She is extremely well-behaved and listens very well.  You were right on the money with her personality: she is VERY confident and independent, but not stubborn.  She is taking to training very easily.  She loves the outdoors and water!  Once again, you socialized her very well because she loves EVERYONE.  She has gone to Wal-mart, the orthodontics office, the library, to play tennis, 4th of July party, music lessons,  etc......She is always with us and is not scared of a thing.  My kids play the sax, flute, piano and guitar; nothing scares her.     She just adapts to everything we present her with.   Housetraining is still going great.  She understands our command to go outside and 9 times out of 10 she goes.  Everyone wants to know where I got such a GREAT dog.  We will be taking her on a camping trip in August.  I'll let you know of her next adventures.
 
Thank you so much,
Lisa and Dixie

Hey Terry and Toni,

Here's a better update on Dixie.  She is currently sleeping in her bed on my desk next to my computer.  We just came back from our 1st walk with a harness and leash.  Unbelievable!  She loved it!  I called, "Dixie, Come" and then I'd give her a treat.  She has already been to the library and met people there.  She is so well behaved and loves everyone.  She just met the kids down the street, also.  I always carry her, until she gets the rest of her shots.  But, she has had two play dates with Tootsie, who is also a little black poodle across the street.  She is very well behaved, very healthy and very well taken care of.  They play in our backyard.  It's too cute.  She has used the bathroom outside, except for two times on the puppy pad, but never on the floor.  It's amazing.  She is eating well, drinking and taking LOTS of naps.  She is never bothered by any loud noises i.e. coffee pot, airplane, garage door; it's amazing.  You must have done such a wonderful job exposing her to stuff.  The first night she went right to sleep in her kennel next to my bed.  I got up twice to take her outside and she went back to sleep immediately.  Last night, she began to cry, so I sleep on the couch with the kennel next to me.  She went, right to sleep shortly, woke up once to go outside and then back to sleep in the kennel.  She did whimper once in the night, but I put my fingers in the kennel and that was it. So, I think she has done GREAT.  She loves the kids a lot.  She cuddles on them to take naps.  We also put her in her play pen with her kennel and she goes in there and takes her nap.  This afternoon, she will be going to the tennis courts to watch the kids hit a few balls and then to the library again.  I'm sure it will be nap time after that. 

It's obvious you're a breeder that has outstanding dogs and goes the extra mile for an easy transition to their owners.  I will send more pics of Dixie and tell you of her adventures.

Thanks,
Lisa

Terry and Toni,

Hope you're not getting tired of the updates. :)  Dixie's great.  Night before last she sleep through the night without messing in her kennel.  Last night she got up once and then went back to bed.  She has never had an accident.  I believe she came potty trained.  Today she is learning how to sit.  She's an awesome dog.  Jesse, my 10 yo is sewing her a quilted blanket.  Here is a picture from this morning.  She loves the outdoors, but is always looking for the shade.  She knows her name already and the command to make her business.  She is sharp as a whip.  I didn't get to meet PePe, but she reminds me of Breeze, who we really loved. 

Enjoying our little Dixie,

Lisa

Thought you might like to see a current picture of my Teddy at 5 months old. My Teddy is still just as sweet as he was when I brought him to my home. He will not let me out of his sight. He loves people and animals. He sleeps with me and usually falls asleep in my arms.

Just figured out my phone can send pictures! That makes it easier. We call her "Coco" (and Coco Beans, Coco Puff, you get the picture:) She is doing great! Loves all of us, keeps Pickles the Bichon in shape, loves to go places, ride in the car. Gardening is her favorite thing. I can't imagine how we got by without her. The kids are at a perfect age and she's blended easily into our lives. She's not getting away with much
though corrections are gentle as can be since a small distraction is all that is needed and it's like "what is it I was doing? oh well, can't remember," (it was an entire second ago). She's a delight, we love her! Thank you! Hope Pixie and Breezie and the bull dogs and pups are well. I'm grateful we found you and Coco!!
Sincerely,
Jill and family, Centennial, CO

I am very proud to be the owner of a 2008 Rocky Mountain Rawhide Toy Poodle puppy, distinctive red in color. I named him "Rufus" (he was, "Little Red"). Along with being just so cute, he has a wonderful disposition and personality. He is a special joy because he has been eager and ready to learn as evidenced by his being housebroken at four-months of age. He came to me highly socialized and in love with everyone he meets -- animal or human.

Hi, Terry and Toni:
Olive is doing well. She still loves laps and snuggling but she is also full puppy.  She likes to play and have fun and then poops out on someone’s lap.  She is doing well with my daughter’s dog and all the family members she met so quickly as a result of the Easter holiday coming up so fast after we got her.  We take her outside several times a day so she can go but she still has some accidents in the house.  She has several toys but still loves the snowman that you sent home with her – she sleeps with it.  She is cute, healthy, bigger, and a delight for us. I am at my desk right now and I have a bed for her “ON” my desk.  She loves it and is sleeping in it right now – a little worn out because she just had a bath.
I hope you are doing well,
Mike

Blitzen at 4 weeks old

Hi Terry,
How are you?  I just wanted to write you and let you know how Blitzen (Buzz) is doing.  He is doing great.  He has figured out our doggy door.  Yesterday and today he went out on his own to go to the bathroom.  He loves the snow.  Today he was running, jumping, and eating the snow.  He loves to be outside.  He is sleeping through the night.  We did figure out really fast he does not like blankets or anything covering his head.  The burrow bed that we bought him he lays on top of it, rather then inside of it.  We changed his bed in his crate.  He uses his burrow bed to lay on when he is not in his crate.  He is getting along great with the other dogs.  He loves the boys.  He follows me around all over.  When I am cooking or in the kitchen doing something.  He is either right under my feet or lying on the rug in front of the sink.  He is eating good.  He is eating 3 times a day.  He poops about 4 times a day.  He is going outside to do that.  As we speak he is right under my chair eating a bone.  He is learning quickly.  Everyone loves to watch him play. 
Have any of your other babies joined their new homes yet?  If they are anything like buzz they will have a blast.  I hope all is well with you.   Don't worry about your baby.  He is doing good.  We love him lots already.  I will write you soon to let you know what else he is doing.  He is doing something new everyday.  Talk to you soon.

Dancer (now Tyler) at 4 weeks old

Hi Terry and Toni,
 
Tyler is doing great, he has been with us for a month now and he has made himself right at home.  He loves playing with the Cavalier, they have a good time playing wrestlemania and catch that cavy by the tail.  He was at my vet last week and he weights in at 5 lbs.  My vet thinks he is a very nice poodle with a good disposition, very curious but not scared and shaking.
 
The housetraining is going great and he usually makes it outside to take care of business.  He is a very sweet boy and loves to snuggle on the couch when I am knitting or watching TV. 
 
I am so happy I found you and have the privilege of loving one of your dogs.  I know I have not made a mistake and we are very happy with this puppy.  Keep up the good breeding so others can have healthy happy puppies.
 
Thanks again,
Trudy, Brighton, CO

I'm sorry it's been so long to write.

My name is Bronwen and I bought my perfect little Bella from you'all a little over a year ago. You used to call her Tinkerbell.

She is the best companion I ever could have imagined after I lost my beloved Mr. Crackers. Bella fits right in to my life style, it's amazing.

My Mom in the nursing home with brain cancer waits patiently ever day for Bella to come lie down in her bed and be her comfort, she is an exceptional dog. She doesn't mind the grandkids noise, and her best friend is my 12 lb calico cat who plays all day with her, but would never hurt her.

Some day I'll figure out how to down load pictures off the camera or phone and I'll send them to you.

I have a couple of retiring friends that are interested in buying a pup from you. I told them your web site and that to look at Breeze and Pepe's new ones, but there are more colors and sizes, but everyone likes Bella’s size. She's 4 lbs.

Thanx, Bronwen, Boston, Mass.
