As some of you know, we have been thinking about getting another standard poodle for some time now.  We both enjoy competing but Kohl really doesn't have the enthusiasm (work ethic as our trainer puts it) for obedience or even rally.  The only way that Stephen can get him motivated for agility is with a tennis ball and he cannot take that in the ring with him!  Kohl is a wonderful companion, easy to live with, gets on well with other dogs and is a great therapy dog (he and I are Delta Society Pet Partners) but the time has come to look for a "real" competition dog to compliment Kohl.

Stephen contacted Kohl's breeder on Monday (Nov 3rd) and following a scurry of email, I sent a deposit off today (Wed Nov 5th) for a puppy!!! 

The litter was born on Sat night/early Sun morning of Oct 19. Dad is AKC Ch Moonstones Evening Edition and Mom is Marsan's Diamonds And Opals (a Rogue daughter).  There were 11 altogether: 5 dark boys 3 dark girls 3 light boys.Two of the boys are creams, the other is ice white. We have put a deposit on a blue boy. Confused by the colors?  This web site shows them well:http://arpeggiopoodles.tripod.com/poodlecoatcolorsoverviewofallcolors.html.

Here is a picture of a couple of the puppies:
This is more recent (2.5 weeks old and eyes open)
