10. Never in a thousand years did I ever think I would utter the words

"Poodles are awesome dogs." Until I met a wonderful Standard I never would have and now have 2 of my own. Incredible dogs. They do not have to be foo fooed up, they look great in short coat and are really fine farm dogs.

We also have an old lab, wonderful of course, and a beagle mix who is certainly a different personality and a challenge but we love her.

Still, I gotta say, I adore my big poodles. Smartest dogs I have ever worked with and sweet as can be.

**I don't think there is a dog I could not love so these silly contests or compilations of numbers registered really don't mean much, just a chance to shout out that I think Standard Poodles are the best kept secret out there.
