Hello,
It has been a few week since I posted to this blog. We went out of town for a internet workshop last week and now just getting back to everything.
My son took care of my standard poodles when we where gone. They where happy to see my wife and I when we got home.
I can believe how fast their fur grows. I need to shave them up again. I have never took them to a groomer but am thinking about doing it. I went a got a price on a fluff and buff on them. They get 65.00 for a standard poodle. I did not think that was bad at all. That includes wash, ears cleaned, shave like I want, and toe nails trimmed. I think I am going to do it.
I am thinking about doing a new video with my two standard poodles so keep a look out for that.
We took them running last night after it cooled off. I has been really hot here in Minnesota this year and no rain. Fills like I am in Texas again.
My brothers white german shepherds should be having their puppies very soon. I say their because he has three of them about to have puppies. You can check his website out at http://www.HoffmansGermanShepherds.com
Talk to you guy later.

Standard Poodles - The People Pleaser
I did a lot of research before getting another dog after our English Cockers passed away. I was attracted to Standard Poodles because of their intelligence, temperament and ease of training. They are known to be good family dogs as well as a good watchdog. They also seem to get along very well with other animals as well, sometimes even to the point of being protective of smaller animals.
I have the honor of being owned by three Standard Poodles at the moment, Meg, Bob, and Charley. All three of them have excellent personalities, although they are three totally different personalities.
There is a misconception that females make a better pet and have better personalities, which I too thought was the case at first! Meg, our female Poodle, is very calm, reserved and dignified. She is very loving, but on her own terms. She also tends to be somewhat stubborn at times! Sometimes she acts like, “I can’t be bothered doing that!”
Our males, Bob and Charley, are real clowns! They are more exuberant and want to play all the time. They are more of a “get in your face” type of dog, always looking for attention and affection.
Our Standard Poodles have excellent temperaments and seem to get along with everyone, kids and adults. My husband and I have made it a point to start socializing them at a very early age, to get them used to people, places, sounds and riding in the car.
Whenever there is a festival or outdoor event in town, we always take them and they are always a big hit. Everyone wants to pet them, take pictures and ask us all about them. They love the attention! They’re not afraid of crowds or loud noises.
They seem to be able to read your body language and emotions and I swear they can tell when you are sad or happy and react accordingly! When I’m sad, they come and put their head on my lap and look at me with those big sad eyes! When I’m happy, they jump around smiling and wagging their pompom tails.
They can also be quite humorous at times as well. Our male Bob’s favorite spot is sleeping on the couch (not a good thing I know), but Meg and Charley were already on the couch. He looked at them as if to say, “Hey, that’s my spot,” and thought about climbing in between them for a moment. He then looked at a small 16 x 16 inch pillow that Charley had thrown off the couch and decided to try and lay down on it. Now this is a 75 pound large male poodle! He went round and round in circles on top of this pillow and finally tried to curl up in a ball on top of the pillow. It was hilarious!
The Standard Poodle temperament is that of a people pleaser. They will go out of their way to make their humans happy. They generally bond to everyone in their human family instead of one person exclusively.
As long as you have a sense of humor and don’t mind a dog that outsmarts you once in a while, a Standard Poodle may be a good choice for you!

My Standard Poodles and I, In Minnesota.
Hello,
For the last few day my standard poodles and I have been going to the storage area and running. Okay, they have been running while I drive the car. I keep saying that I am going to start to run them in the morning with the bikes. I will make that my next video. We have trailers on our bikes so when we go on a long bike ride with our standard poodles they can get in the trailer and rest. They really like to take a brake and when they are rested up they wine, so we let them out. The vet has told us only to run them a few miles at once. I am going to give them their weekly bath.
So will post again in a few days.

Standard Poodles
Hello,
I have not had a lot of time for my two standard poodles the last two days. I did play for a little while today. Then my grand son came over and took my attention.
I am working on a video of my poodles and should have it post by Thursday.
I am looking for girlfriends for my two standard poodles. We live in Minnesota.

My Standard Poodles and I.
Hello,
I just gave my standard poodles their weekly bath. It just blows me away the way they listen. I have had many dogs in the past that would run or fight when they knew it was bath time.
Today I got everything by the bathtub all I said was come on Oz and he walked right into the tub. Just said it one time also. Then when it was Casper's turn I said Casper get in the tub he walk right in also. I love it when they listen.
I am about to take my poodles running. I want to go on a motorcycle ride with the wife later today.
My standard poodles are AKC registered Poodles. They live in Minnesota and are looking to be a couple of Stud Dogs.
Later
