I got a new dog today!! He is a poodle mix but the shelter did not know what the other breed is. His name was Brad Pitt , I renamed him Marty after a cousin of mine I never meet. Marty is all white and weight 13 lbs! I had a big scarce tonight , I was taking Marty out to pee and Marty pulled his head of of his collar! I was sure he was going to run for it I said No OH! and Marty just stood still and I was able to pick him up!! What a good boy! I was warned not to let any dog from the shelter off their leash. The woman from the shelter did not made the collar tight enough!

I am very happy for you. Also glad that Marty is a good boy and knew not to run when his collar slipped.

How old is he?

He is 2 years . Thank you ! I could not believe he did not run off! I am going to buy a harness for him so this can't happen again! I do not feel safe using that collar!

How exciting!! Poodles are absolutely the best, in my extremely biased opinion. I've got two of 'em. Sounds like Marty is a mini poodle? (Even if mixed with something...) How tall is he? Can you post a picture?

Do you plan to do any obedience or agility classes or anything like that?

Poodles are SO smart. They need to be doing something to keep their little brains engaged. Or else they will think up stuff on their own... ;-)

Glad t6o finally hear it, whatdidyousay....you'll make a good "mamma"....

One of my neighbors has 2 poodles (male)...and whenever I take my Pomeranian out for a walk, she makes it a point to walk by their back patio...(flirting, no doubt!)...

Shameless hussy!

My Casey is deeply in llluuuurrrve with the cockapoo across the street. Pippin could care less, but Casey and Lily adore each other. Whenever I walk my two guys, Lily jumps up on the back of the couch in her living room, which is backed up against the front window. Then she whines and whines until her mama lets her out. My friend says Lily has a special whine that is only when she sees Casey, because she so desperately wants to go out and play with him.

For his part, he will turn and look longingly at their front door and make little "oooh, oooh, oooh" sounds, until we pass by. He is always hoping she's around.

yeah!!!!!

That's really cute! ...I tell my little Pomeranian ("Anita")..."ur such a slut sometimes!"...she looks at me as to say..."so what!"

Marty is a toy poodle , I will trying Marty to be my new hearing dog. I am going to let him get settled in before I train him. The poor little guy been through a lot! He from California and he will need time to adjust to everything. My daughter took some photos of Marty , I will try to post them when my daughter send them to me. I took Marty to the vet and he think Marty is a pure poodle. He had his fur cut short, I am hoping when it get a little longer I will be able to tell what breed he mix with.

whatdidyousay!

Finlay had a huge crush on my daughter! I think Finlay thought my daughter was part poodle as she has long curly hair!

Thanks guys! Marty is a smart dog, I told him to go to bed last night and he jumped right my bed! LOL!! I guess it is our bed now! He like to sleep under the blanet, I think he feel safer that way or maybe warner?

whatdidyousay!

I will have to get my daughter to send the she took !

Bottesini

Remember if you have problems putting them up, you can email them to me and I will do it for you, like I did Finlay.

Aw, great pictures!! FWIW, he looks all poodle to me. Sometimes people really don't know what poodles look like underneath all the fancy haircuts they might be wearing. He looks like a nice sized miniature. (I just re-read the posts above and you thought he was a toy. Is he over 10" tall at the shoulder? If he's under 10", he's a toy. If 10" or more, he's a mini. Looks to me like he's maybe 11" or 12", is that about right? Hard to tell from a picture sometimes.)

I keep Pippin in a similar cut in the summer, just clipped down very short all over, plus I trim his muzzle into the expected poodle look, i.e., VERY closely clipped. It helps to see if he should get a tick or something when his hair is kept cut short. Plus I think it's a nice athletic look.

Yay, Marty! Handsome dog, and it sounds like you two are quickly forming a bond.

rockin'robin

Yeah.....he looks to be a "lady killer"....ummm...seems he's is "mixed", not full-bloodied Poodle...

Beach girl

So two different opinions as to whether he's all poodle or not right off the bat! ;-)

I'm guessing all poodle. Looks just like my guys when they are in their summer crew-cuts.

Bottesini

I think he is all poodle having had a few myself. Still have one but she is old.

I thought he was a toy poodle , so you think he is a miniature? His fur was very matted and had to be cut short. I took Marty to vet yesterday and think he is all poodle and said his body is the shape of a poodle. I was going to see how tall he but Marty is taking a nap now on the couch! He is making himself at home! He was on floor last night and I told him he does not have sleep on the floor anymore! Yeah he a good looking boy! Thank you Beach girl!
My daugther is coming over this weekend and will take more photos of Marty. I may be able to tell if he all poodle when his hair grow out a little.

Oh I love Poodles also, the Big ones (Standard) my friend just got a mix called a Labradoodle its mix of yellow Lab and standard Poodle and it's
Apricot in color and oh tooooooo cute...Look them up on line..you will be amazed....Midnight♥♥♥

MidnightSun

OH YAY for you and marty..he is so adorable, and you rescued him..he will LOVE you forever....Congrats...smile..Midnight.♥♥♥

Beach girl

Aw, sweet li'l nubbin! Definitely don't wake him up to just to measure! If he's 10" or over, then he's classified as a mini. From the picture, I was guessing that he's taller than 10".

Do you have a bed for him? I LOVE these beds: Pet-O-Bed Main Page They have a nice cut-out nesting area in the middle. The regular ones are square and take up a lot of room, I'll admit. Look at the crate size ones (click on link at the left on the main page) and you can find rectangular ones which aren't quite so bulky.

I like that they keep the dog up off the floor, and they are nice and cozy. Plus you can easily change the cover in case of pet accidents, or just to be able to take off the dirty one and put on a clean one every so often. Pippin loves his.
