This is Caleigh and Toby's second litter born March 16, 2009.  They are all adopted and have great families to call their own.  Thank you all the families...once again amazing families have found us!

  Meet Rubi.  She is now living with her family and adopted poodle brother in Tennessee!

Meet Mo.  He is happy and loving camping in Colorado! 
note from Mo's family:
Mo is just great! I took him to the dog park Saturday and he had a wild time with a Pug-Beagle named Kimmy. She was really crazy wild and threw Mo down to wrestle and ran his poor little butt right off. When we got home, he just crashed...didn't even move for dinner. He probably weighs close to 16 lbs now and has "girthed" up abit; shoulders are large and his legs do not look as long as they did. He has a gorgeous stance...very handsome! He is my boy when it comes to love and affection; Alan is his play-buddy...something that Mo seldom tires of as long as it's at home. He's too busy to fetch at the dog-park, even alone. The smells are much better to explore.
I loved the picture of Abby; she and Mo look so much alike except that she is so light and he is so red. Those eyes though....you can see why they were partners in crime. I keep telling Alan I want another pup but he is adament about keeping it to one. I may have to divorce him! :)
Do let me know if you get to town for softball; if it's on a weekend, I can come to whatever park you are in and let Mo visit his first family. He is just the best little dog and such a great personality. You had it right when you said that you couldn't quite figure out his personality....he has a very unique one and it's hard to pinpoint. He's not aggressive at all but can be very out-going. He's just a happy camper all the time! What a joy!
Take care and hope we'll meet up soon!

Meet Abby.  She is being loved and spoiled by her family in Chicago! 
 
 
note from Abby's family:
Abby has also decided that she likes to swim now.  I think it's because she can't stand being left out when we're all in the water!  She is crazy though.  She'll swim and get soaking wet, and then get out of the water and roll in the sand which leaves her unrecognizable!  Then she'll tear around the yard like she's on fire.  She's hilarious!
 
I think this has to also be the smartest dog I've ever met.  She can learn tricks so fast your head would spin.  I just wish I had more time to work with her.  I didn't think I could have a dog that was too smart until now though.  She's very smart and a little devious.  For instance, as much as we try to pretend we're not getting ready to leave the house, she'll know and try to trick us into letting her out so she can run to the back of the yard!  
 
But she's a really good dog and hardly ever does anything wrong.  She's also super friendly and loves everyone she meets.  Many people have asked me if they could take her home!
 
You can definitely use me as a reference.  We are really happy with Abby.  We've had her a year now, but it seems like she's been part of the family forever.  I'm so glad I put in the extra effort to find you and bring Abby to us!

         This is Caleigh and Toby's first litter, born July 23, 2008.  They are all now in their forever homes with their new families.  Thank you to all three families for giving them such loving homes to live their lives!                                     


Meet Marcello!  He now lives in Rhode Island with his new family and his 2 standard poodle siblings! 

Message from Marcello's family:

Hello  dear Diane! Marcello is doing great. He is our  joy He is funny and smart .We love him dearly. Marcello  is with us everywhere. did all his shots. He cried a lot. My family was  alert, but next day he was fine, playing, kissing, barking at Gabby. They have special  bond. She protects him and at the same time takes toys from him and likes to tease.  It is so funny to see  them playing. At nite Marcello is sleeping with us. If he needs to go outside, he kisses me, and we run. He is so good. The only time he is in his crate is when I am at work and kids at school. (5 hours) Before he would cry and my heart was broken, but now he is fine.  Something about his crying that makes you do whatever he wants. That's why my husband took him to bed with us. But Marcello is a talented learner.  Thank you very much for  your interest in Marcello(some times we call him Lemoncello). It is very nice of you. We love him very much.

Meet Cider!  He is now being spoiled by his new family in Vermont!


Message from Cider's family:

Last year we started our search for a miniature poodle puppy and became overwhelmed with all the directions to go.  By chance we came across poodletrain and their last little puppy whom we name Cider!  To look at him he was perfect, just what we were looking for.  We were still skeptical because he had to come to fly on a plane all the way to Vermont.  After talking with Diane we decided to take the chance and I can tell you we are SO happy we did.

 Cider is the most loving puppy  we could ask for.  He adjusted so well from day one and potty training was almost non existent.  We were told that he was socialized with other dogs before he came and that was also very true and evident when he was introduced to the other family dogs.  He made friends very quickly and enjoys his play time with them daily.  He is a very smart dog and learns things very quickly.

 I would highly recommend getting a puppy from Diane.  These puppies are cared for from the beginning until they are let go to their new home.  We also still keep in touch with Diane to let her know about Cider and how he is doing.  It is nice to know that they care that much about their past puppies to stay in touch.

 Oh and we love Cider so much we are considering getting another puppy in the future from them. 

Meet Abby!  She is now living in her new home in North Carolina with her family!

Message from Abby's family: 

Abby got a haircut about 3 weeks ago and looks adorable. She has definitely "found" herself. She used to be fairly quiet. That has changed as her personality has really come out. She is very happy, loves to race around the backyard, go visit people, and be where the action is.  She is currently sleeping on my lap. She's been growing and gaining weight (according to our vet). She is simply a delight.

Thanks for thinking of us and thanks for helping her arrive here.

Cindy
