Flossie is related to our old Standard Poodle, Jet (Who I hope to make a page for shortly). We met Flossie's cousin (Murphy) at our local beach. His owner said who his breeders were, where to find them and then wished us luck in finding another standard. We went away and didn't think much about it, until we saw an advert in the weekly paper offering two silver standard Poodle puppies.
Then, about a week later, we came home from the vet with Phoebe, to find my dad on the phone, talking about Poodles! Although totally unexpected, the lady with the standard pups was also Murphy's breeder! So the following sunday afternoon, we went to meet Flossie. We got there and there was Poodles barking everywhere! The breeders had five Poodles (Including Flossie's mother, Whisper, Grandmother, Teasel & another white standard called Max), a schnauzer and a cat in there! So we went in, and after about 15 minutes of sniffing, licking and meeting everybody we finally got to see Flossie (who was then called Rosie). The other puppy, her brother, had been collected a few days before, so she was the only puppy left. We fell in love with her and took her home an hour or so later. Phoebe on the other hand, had been waiting in the car, and was not happy when we loaded another creature three times the size of her into the car!
Flossie is now 24 weeks old, and her and Phoebe are getting along fine and they have fun playing together! |
