“Hey Jacki –

“I needed to get a quick email out to you to tell you that Ringo is doing wonderfully! I feel like he loved us so much and we loved him so much right from the moment we met him. He’s done so well sleeping all night in his crate in Phoebe’s room (she gets up and takes him out at 6:30-7:00 when they both get up). Outside of a couple little whines the second night (for 30 seconds), he’s never made a peep at night. With some trainer help, he adjusted to all the crazy sounds of daytime walking in the city within a couple days. He is a joy out on 24th Street (cute shopping street by us) and loves all dogs and people. He sits at every corner before we cross streets. He’s getting used to all the people who come and go from our home and the electricians and handyman and gardeners all give him treats and sweet talk. He’s learned where to go potty and heals when I walk him around the yard — and we play after he goes potty in the designated are. He DOES know how to fetch — and drop the ball and then sit. Of course, he gets excited some times and we are teaching “settle.” We know not to play fetch very hard and only for 5 minutes or so (the vet reminded us of this), so that he does not over-do his bones. But he’s a genius! He is amazing with all dogs and all children. And he’s getting over some caution about who’s coming thru the front door and starting to get the stairs of a Victorian home (but we’re going slowly as I’m very caution of stairs).

“Jacki – he looks at me like he’s a human. I can’t explain it — but he’s changed my life! so many hugs and thanks!…sara

“PS – he loves loves getting brushed and snuggling and enjoys going daily to a play/training group. The kids and Andy are equally in love!

“PPS – our trainer says he was so amazingly well-bred and learns so quickly — he’s resilient, happy, athletic, loving and huggy and so so smart! He’ll stop and seem like he’s posing like a show dog! You picked the best puppy in the world for us! Thank you so much!”

Standard Poodle Puppy Testimonial: Yzzie

Posted on October 6, 2009 by

Hi Jacki ..

Just thought I’d send a note and tell you how wonderful my little fairy princess is .. she’s just a tad over 19″ at the shoulder and 33 pounds at almost 11 months. Her vet called her perfect and she is.

She’s just graduating her first obedience class – at the top – and is heading into agility classes next. She’s smart and wants to please. Most importantly, though, she is the sweetest little girl you would ever hope to meet. She loves to sit with you, whether at home, at work or at Starbucks (one of her favorite places!). She cuddles with you on the couch, sits in your lap and loves to be held. She’s quite the little charmer and has family and friends eating out of her paws. And she loves dogs as much as she loves people.

She’s quite the little athlete, too. I see her competing in agility and especially in jumpers.

She still puppy-silly, and has the hairdo to go with it. She’ll get her first “adult” look in a few months, but for now she’s floppy and funny and my only worry with her is that someone will steal her. I’ve had a number of people as for her breeder and lots more just ask if I want to sell her.

Here’s a picture of her and her silly do ..

Many thanks,
Laura Rooney

Happy Home Testimonial: Wilson

Posted on September 8, 2009 by

Wilson art 2 Wilson is a wonderful guy. He never marks or potties in the house, doesn’t chew or dig…he’s just always well behaved. When I leave him home alone, he just sits on the sofa and looks out the front window until I get home.

Strangers always stop and tell me what a beautiful dog he is. He’s more than I ever hoped for. And he seems very happy too!

Admiration Takes Best Brace in Show at PCA National ’09

Posted on May 3, 2009 by

Jacki, Mimi and Valri accepting awards

As many of you know by now, Jacki Panzik took Best Brace in Show at the PCA National Show in Maryland last week. (PCA = Poodle Club of America). That means she and our girls, Admiration Charmed I’m Sure, “Valri” and Admiration Come Fly With Me, “Mimi” – standing next to Jacki are considered the Best Poodle Brace Team in the country and they’ll go down in history.

This win makes us very proud, indeed.

A Brace (def: 2 of a kind) is where a Handler takes 2 dogs into the show ring and the judging is based on the synchronization of the 2 dogs and the Handler. Both of the beautiful white Poodles are sisters and are our own breeding from our beloved Ch Admiration Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, “Trinity”. Mimi and Valri reside in Allentown, New Jersey with their mommy, Lucy Tyler an Olympic Medalist (cycling 1996) and daddy, Frank Geck.

THANKS YOU’S
We’d like to thank Lucy Tyler & Frank Geck, who take such wonderful care of our Valri & Mimi. And we’d most certainly wish to thank and acknowledge the Judges, Donald Sturz & Jordan Chamberlain for this honor. Special acknowledgment goes out to David Mosdale for his grooming and coaching talents. We had a wonderful time and are looking forward to next year.

2008 Review: Poodle Pictures

Here are some Poodle pictures that were sent to us from our new Poodle families. Some were in holiday cards, others in fan mail and testimonials.

"This is just a note to include with the picture of Remy, the puppy we purchaed on Nov 11 2007. He is well, happy and a joy to have in our home. My husband died in June and I don't think I could have done as well without my companion. He weighs 65 lbs., has a trainer that takes him for long walks twice a week, although he has a third of an acre, fenced, to run and play in. He's had swimming lessons but does not like the water. He's extremely bright (the trainer says), loving, becoming a good watch dog, and has yet to growl. Thank you for giving me a joy. Sincerely, B.R."
