Poodle Fact: It is not uncommon for a dog to be shy. The best way to help them is to slowly show them the world. New places, new people, new activities...in a slow and steady way so that they do not feel overwhelmed.

I don't seem to be done! : For 2 years I've been taking her outside to pee/poo.. when she goes.. I clap and say good girl! she wags her tail.. but then she still has slip ups.
It took 3 months: We had a hard time in the beginning. Then I introduced the litter box and the female Poodles got the hang of it but NOT the male. Then I took away the litter box and introduced training pads and again the females took to it but the male will only go potty outside.

Personal Thoughts:
"My Poodle was a dark red when she was a puppy, now at almost 2 years old, her color has turned more like a dusty red, almost like it lightened quite a bit"
"My Poodle is black, but she has spots on her that are reddish brown that where not there before"
Poodle Fact: The most common colors of the Poodle are white and black, solids. It is not uncommon for the color to fade. The owner with the red who turned lighter is not alone. This usually happens by the 1 year mark and the final adult color will be there by 2 years.
Poodle Fact: Blacks do have an issue with having areas that turn red or brown. This can be helped with color enhancing dog shampoo.

Personal Thoughts: "We always had Poodles when I was a little girl, so I knew that this was the breed that I wanted when it was time for me to get my own dog. I can't imagine having any other kind!"
"I was not sure which breed I wanted to have. My former dog was a Lab and this time I was looking for a smaller dog. I happened to come across a rescue and there was an adorable apricot toy that needed a home. I think it was fate. She is part of the family now"
