Anyone recognize these Frisbee fighters? I believe this photo is from Rick Miles' collection from the Poodle party up in New Hampshire.

Anyone know who this sweet boy is who behaves so well for his daily teeth brushing? The "Identify Me" or "Give Me a Caption" contest is ending after just a few more photos, so please be sure to go back through older posts and get your comments in! Each comment gives you one entry, and then we will pull from the hat, very soon!

Don't forget the Caption Contest! Thank you Chris for sharing this photo of your daughter and Poodle! Wow, it's August already, go swimming while you still can!

Can anyone identify these sweeties who look soooo happy that the heat wave is breaking a bit this weekend in some areas? Don't you just love it when Poodles fly and ears seem to be helping them take off? Many thanks to Rick Miles, photographer, who sent these photos, along with many others, from the Crabapple Downs Poodle party. Don't forget the caption contest! ONly a couple more weeks left at a chance to win $30 Amazon Gift Certificate!

Did this little man catch a fish? We're jealous! Don't worry little man, if there is a sea monster out in this pond, I'll find it! You little booger, that's not a fish! But we enjoyed the swim anyway!

Do you ever get a photo or an inspiriational story and you were busy that day or something, then you suddenly rediscover it months later and it is like getting a present? That's how I felt when I found this cute photo this morning! Those of us with Poodles will recognize the grooming equipment--help think up a cute caption for this one!

I love this lady! Folks who attend Poodle parties in New Hampshire will immediately know her and probably be able to name both Poodles as well. Thanks to the internet, it is possible to meet wonderful dog people even though they live many states away. Also, I want to introduce readers to another Poodle friend, this one much closer, the breeder of my sweet girl Kate (our curent Standard Poodle) as well as Lizzie, a Poodle of ours from the past who was one of our all time favorites. We won't make Judy a part of the caption contest yet since I know many of my readers are from up north and Judy Butler is in North Carolina, my old stomping grounds. But I hope one of these days soon I can get her to agree to a breeder interview that I can post here so you can really "meet" her. She was the president for many years of the Central Carolina Poodle Club, and she is a breeder who checks her breeding stock for hereditary defects, and she has many years of Poodle knowledge. Here...
