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.

Meet Rubi. She is now living with her family and adopted poodle brother in Tennessee! note from Rubi's family: Hi all... Rubi, the "She Devil," is enjoying her regular early afternoon nap right now and Freddie is grateful to have a spot of his own since she isn't busy claiming all of his spots. He loves her though and lets her pretty much have her way. Actually she is a real sweetheart and everybody comments on how pretty and sweet she is. She has adapted to the mountain life in Tennessee very well and she has become good at obeying commands. She will usually come when called when we're outside...I say, "usually," because Freddie always comes when called. Mary says Rubi has an agenda of her own sometimes...ha. She is all over the puppy stage now and is the perfect house dog. She loves to travel and has visited six states now. She always wants to ride in the passenger's lap and won't let Freddie have his old travel spot there either. She'll visit a lot more places now since Mary has quit working and we can get around more. All of you take care back there in Huskerland. Harlan and Mary	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-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. 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. 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! NEW UPDATE: I was looking at all your puppy pictures on your site and marveling at all those little pups. I have to tell you that Mojo is just the best. He is my little buddy, through and through. The doggie daycare that he goes to twice a week just absolutely loves this little guy....he is constantly getting extra attention and although he has his little play-group, he always gets to spend nap-time in the office with the caretakers. Yep, he's spoiled rotten and he certainly doesn't lack for attention.	Meet Abby who is living with her awesome family in Illinois! 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! Carol NEW UPDATE: Abby has a new little buddy. We adopted a ferret named Pogo. Pogo and Abby are really fun to watch together. I've also gotten engaged so our family will be growing even more! We will have an extremely full house. My fiance has 3 kids, a dog, and a cat. Luckily Abby and his dog are best friends (even though she's only a tenth of his size!). Abby gets along with everyone!	*We have just recently located "Romeo" who is now named YUKON! We are hoping to have pictures and an update from his new family soon! :)*

*Meet Rusty! She is living in sunny California with her family!* Note from Rusty's family: WE LOVE OUR RUSTY! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!	*Meet Curly who is living here in Grand Island, Nebraska! Curly is living with Rusty's grandparents!*	This is Murphy who is living with her family in Nebraska! Multiple messages from Murphy's family: *Two pups - x amount of $$* *Two chew sticks - .50 cents* only one chew stick worth chewing - priceless _______________________ Who would have thought watching two dogs playing keep away would be so funny!!! ___________________ All is going well. Murf if taller than rylee, they have such a great time together. Murf, is doing awesome at housetraining. We've had one accident in the last 2 weeks. She's getting better at sleeping through the night, at least she'll quiet down when I say quiet and she goes back to sleep. Murf is definately my dog, poor Ed, but at least Murf will go to Ed and not ignore him when he calls her, Rylee will act as if she doesn't even hear him, too funny.
*This is Roxy who is also living in sunny California! She is learning to live the life of a truck driver's sidekick!* Message from Roxy's family: Roxy has gone on her 1st trucking ride with Dad and is doing GREAT! However, our granddaughter pouts every time she comes over for grandma to babysit her because Roxy isn't here. Grandpa came home yesterday for approximately 1 hour and she got to play with her then. When it was time for the trucking poodle to leave she cried and told grandma & Papa she wants her own poodle...LOL. We told her Sasha is here to be her poodle when grandma babysits her.	*Toby and his babies on Father's Day*	Meet Hadley who is now living in Oklahoma with a terrific family! message from Hadley's family: Hey Diane! Here are some pictures of Hadley that I've taken over the past 24 hours. She is just such a little dream! She's had no accidents, she's been very mellow and snuggly. :) She has played with the Schnauzers some, but she is really enjoying laying in our laps and having her belly and ears rubbed. She is the prettiest mini poodle that either of us have ever seen. She's just totally and completely gorgeous. She's been so easy and so fun. I think she's still getting used to being home with us and the dogs, but little by little, her personality is coming out and it's just too cute! She follows daddy around and plops down at his feet when he's not snuggling her. It's adorable! *I will keep you posted. Feel free to use us as a reference in future! We are so happy with our little fur baby and we can't thank you enough for meeting us with her. Keep in touch!*
*Little Pete is now living with his new family in Wisconsin. We are awaiting a picture of him in his new surroundings!*	*"PeeWee" will be arriving in North Carolina to his new family very soon. He will be united with his half brother from our past litter, YUKON! They will have lots of play dates together!*	*"Oliver" joined "PeeWee" and is arriving very soon to his new family in North Carolina. PeeWee and Oliver so lucky to be a part of the same family!!*
