So I got a puppy.....

and she is probably the cutest thing ever. She is a cream colored Standard Poodle (please, hold all criticisms and nasty comments about poodles, we've had many in my family and they aren't those prissy show dogs some people make them out to be) and seems to enjoy getting into shit. We haven't had a puppy in over 13 years, so we're trying to remember all of the things we did with our last dog. Any puppy advice?
my grandad once had a little Mutt dog that hated poodles. His next door neighbour got a poodle and the first time they met walking their dogs, my grandads dog cocked its leg and pissed on the poodle.

When my grandad told me that story he had the biggest grin on his face I have ever seen . I love my grandad.
I grew up with a black standard poodle named Webster. Best dog ever.
Standard Poodles are dogs, the little sub-micro ones are vermin. Just don't get the foofy 'do for the dog.

Puppy needs? First lots to chew on that is not valuable. Not anything that resembles things you want to keep nice (e.g. no old shoes, rags, etc.) as a puppy can not tell the difference. A good supply of that urine smell remover so that they don't get conditioned to pee in the same spot as their last accident.

My parents (I don't own a dog just dog sit) got over the puppy thing by getting retired show dogs. Their current dog Sully is great, doesn't bark, past the puppy wildness and already housebroken and trained. That and he is a weird dog.
I'm so jealous!

What did you name her?

By the way, I think those big poodles are way cool!

I could think of a witty comeback if I and wifey were not laughing so hard.

Bastard, got me good.

Thank You! Someone who realizes that huge giant Standards are awesome dogs. We were trying to decide on a name for months (our last Poodle, Zoe had to be put to sleep and we've been trying to get another one ever since :( ) and I just thought the name Perrie was cute. So therefore, after going over what seemed like hundreds of "perfect" names for her, Perrie stuck.


The chewing is definitely an issue, haha. It's been so long since we've had puppies that we forgot how much they love to chew. But god, is she adorable!!!!

Maybe I'll have to post some pictures up here of her when I load them on my computer :D
No matter what size poodle it is, they are still the gayest dogs ever….even other dogs take the piss out of them! I'm sure you love it to bits though, and that's all that matters.

my dog should be about 70 pounds when full grown. which is big for almost any dog when you think about it. and when she has to piss i'll make sure to bring her to your house, she can use YOUR lawn (or maybe even your rug!)
so your poodle will look like this?
