Well......
Floyd-our standard poodle- is 9 months old now.
Never considered a poodle, until high command (mrs emsman) suggested the breed, as she had them when growing up.
Fantastic. Easy to train, docile, friendly, and potential for a gun dog. Perfect.
Although, of course, he isn't.
No. He's not perfect. He's far from it. Although I can't blame him.
We live in a little cottage, bought a year and a half ago. It flooded sometime a few years back.
And therein lies the problem.
When it was redecorated, the woman had some (and bear with me, as I'm not a carpet specialist) f
king st carpet laid in the lounge. I mean, it's functional. It's a nondescript colour and, well, it'll do for now, but it is st.
The problem with it is when the 26kg of unguided canine lumbers into view. He lays down, he rolls around a bit. He charges himself with copious amounts of static.
He then mooches over, full of puppyish affection, and..... CRACK.
It doesn't exactly hurt, but it catches you unaware-first thing in the morning, dressing gown on, bare leg, ouch.
He doesn't seem too keen either in fairness. He looks a trifle confused to be honest.
So, how many poodles do I need to breed before we become self sufficient?
Would the process be accelerated by dressing him in (heaven forbid) a shell suit to bump up the charge?
If he goes in the boot of the car, is it then technically a hybrid?
Poor thing walks around the place looking like the bloke out of big trouble in little china!
