Fun Update from the Dunlap Gang!

On Memorial day, I received this wonderful "Joey's Journal" entry from my friend Charlene Dunlap of Canine Horizons.  Honestly, I think every day is a holiday for the dogs who live with Charlene and Glenn! Since I haven't featured her crew in a while, I thought my readers might enjoy this update with some fun photos.  Thank you Charlene, for allowing me to share them with Poodle Blogger readers!

We hope you are all having a very pleasant Memorial Day.

Since we've been rather confined the previous three days due to our fortnightly groomathon, we decided we'd spend the cooler part of today in activities.  After our morning yard walk, the boys and I went to the training building for more activities.  Sydney wanted to work on her tan and did not accompany us indoors.

         First thing Scotty always does is run to the mail box and open and shut the lid.  Funny boy! 

  Then up the ladder ~~

  ~~ moving so fast he was just a blur! 

             So fast that you can see through him in places!!  Interesting, huh?

 The camera was moving this time trying to keep up. 

   : But, I finally got them to be still enough for a good picture. 

(Note from Melanie, aren't they just the cutest boys EVER?)

After breakfast, we went to the college. 

 There's a walking path around the campus and a side path with a bridge over a stream.

 Glenn didn't know I took this - teehee  Usually, he's with Sydney and Scotty and I'm with Joey

 unless I have all three!

 At home, Joey saw Glenn outside fixing a faucet leak -  the boys tore outside and tracked him to the barn-

 Scotty greeting his dad - see Joey biting Scotty's leg!

This one of the doggy doors out of the house-

And, coming back in (to the reading room)

                                Hope we didn't overload your computer with pictures today! 

                                                              Charlene with Joey, Scotty, and Sydney

Charlene, I can NEVER get enough, as far as photos of your three lovely Parti crew. Readers, if you enjoyed these photos, you will REALLY love the short movies and videos of these dogs doing all the amazing tricks and behaviors she has taught them for her Poodle movies. Some of the shorter movies can now be viewed on her website for free!  Check out these videos and more at Joey and Scotty's website:

As always Charlene, many, many thanks for sharing your dogs and their adventures with us!  Melanie

Wow...Charlene and her Grooming!

Guys, I wish I had photos of my own grooming to show you that looks like this, but I don't have this kind of talent!

Here are some recent photos of my friend Charlene Dunlap's dogs Scotty and Joey, after a recent haircut (courtesy of their Mom and Dad, Charlene and Glenn of Canine Horizons).

"Joey" looking  down as his older sis "Sydney", who is lounging around in the grooming room while the young boys have their Spa Day. Don't you just love Joey's markings?

Joey all dolled up, a completed work of art!  Charlene says she still wants a little more angle on his rear legs, but looks pretty near perfect to me!

"Scotty" after his haircut, what can I say but "WOW"!  These two handsome boys have made me change my opinion on natural tails  (they do not have docked tails, but they are still just as lovely as any parti-colored Poodle I have seen with a docked tail, aren't they?  Kind of adds a bit more "character" to their look!)

As always, thank you Charlene, for sharing these photos with my readers.

You can see more photos of these boys, and read about their most recent movie projects on Charlene's websites:  www.caninehorizons.com and the second website, which features "The Parti Boys" exclusively:   www2.caninehorizons.com

Partis from Across the Globe!

When I saw this gorgeous photo, all I could say was "wow"!  Rarely in this country do we have shows where there would be this many "dogs of multi-colors" entered, plus I was impressed that all of them posed so nicely for the photo!   There is one solid colored boy in the back, who happens to be parti-factored (his genes allow him to produce parti-colored Poodles) and he was bred by a well known Poodle breeder in the US, Kathy Esio-King of Jacknic Poodles.

Adéla Hlavatá, one of my Facebook friends sent me this photo to share on the Poodle blog,  along with the following information about the dogs in the photo:
In the middle of the Poodles is Jitka Vlasáková, who owns the lovely female dog sitting in front of her (Nelly) and Jitka's dog "Jack" is sitting beside Nelly. Adéla says the two females on the left are Infinity and Haky, who are Adela's only Standards (they are lovely Adela!)
Lying down are Poodles owned by Tomáš Růžička (from left "Ivanhoe, Herro and Q").  And the beautiful boys sitting on the right are "ian" owned by Mirka Plevová and . And boys sitting on the right are Mirka Plevová ("Ian") and"Inkognito" who belongs to Hana Šimková.
Interested in keeping up with this lovely party of parti Poodles?  Eveyone except Hana Šimková can be found on Facebook. Adela says that the Poodles whose  names begin "I" are sisters and brother, all out of Jitka´s lovely girl Nelly.
Congratulations Jitka, on breeding such beautiful dogs!  Adela, it is wonderful hearing from Poodles all the way from the Czech Republic and the show in Prague, thank you!
Please forgive me for any changes in font size in this post---I had to copy and paste the names so I could be sure to get them correct!  Even though my last name is Schlaginhaufen, I don't even know how to get my computer to put the accent marks above these lovely foreign names!
Isn't Facebook fun?  It allows us to get to know people from all over the world, some of whom become close friends.  Because Standard Poodles are now plagued by so many health problems, it is more important than ever for ethical breeders to network and get to know each other.  Thank you again Adela, for sharing this photo!  I hope all of these Poodle owners will join us by clicking on the left hand side of this website : Follow the Poodle Blogger by email.:  Remember, your email address will NEVER be shared with anyone, this website is totally for Poodle owners to share information and get to know other Poodle lovers.
