ok.. I REALLY want this puppy that is 4 sale by 1 of my bff's. I have enough money for it, have enough to buy it food and other stuff it would need, and i am VERY willing to house train it and take care of it. BUT my mom says i can't get it…. WHAT DO I DO???? I have my heart set on this puppy! I ALREADY even named it Carmel …. Oh and it is a apricot poodle…
4 ppl who are saying that i can't pay for the shots and stuff… BELIEVE me… i have been saving since i was 10 to get another poodle.. i have enough!!! and i am not a spoiled kid considering i am a senior in high school and i am getting my own apartment… SO my mom just won't let me get the dog even though it would be in my own place..

If your mom says no then it's no. Sorry kid. You shouldn't have gotten attached to a dog that you can't have. Under your parent's roof it's their rules. You'll have to wait until you move out to get a puppy.

does anyone know any website or person selling a poodle around northern ireland or the south of ireland

i badly want 1

thanks

b.t.w i think ive tried almost all the websites to do with poodles so a person selling them would be better

try www.epupz.com

it's for people who's dogs have had puppies and they can advertise to people who want to buy them. They have almost every breed and I'm sure there will be a few around your area.

ok heres my situation. I'm a pet sitter and have been doing it for quite sometime, I have never lost a dog until last night. I was sleeping due to a severe migraine and vommitting and the dog went missing around 7:30 pm of last night. My sister was getting ready to leave with her boyfriend and shut the door, as she was shutting the door the poodle im pet sitting for runs out from my porch into the bushes. Next thing you know the poodle is running around my whole neighborhood and almost all the kids from my neighborhood are chasing him but no luck. I looked for him today and contacted the owner while she was away. She is taking care of the dog because the original owner of the dog has dimensia and is in a home. The poodle does have dog tags of where he belongs but the address on the tag is where the mother who has dimensia used to live. So I contacted the police, filed reports, called animal friends, animal control, etc and filed reports. I even was offering people a reward to pay for out of my pocket if the dog is found. Now, this is where it gets weird. The new owners husband came over to help look but just drove around alittle and left. He never called me nor did she. I called them and said I filed reports, she cuts me off and says the dogs been found. NOTE: SHE NEVER CALLED ME I HAD TO CALL HER AND ASK IF DOG HAS BEEN FOUND. So she just said I'll have to call you back but the police found him and my husband will pick him up. Note: she never told me he'd be over my home to pick the dogs food, toys, blankets, etc. So I call the police department where she said the dog was found or taken to. They said there was no poodle found here unless it wasn't reported but he said its rare for that not to happen. So I call her and say I called the police and they never found the dog. she never answered me nor her husband. I left them messages saying to call me back asap. My question is…do you think they will try to sue me because I lost the dog? I mean she filled my survey out saying hes not hyper, hes calm, and etc. We didn't make any contract in writing saying I'm not responsible if I lose him or anything but I mean why else would she say she found him if the police said nobody brought a dog in or picked it up there?!?! She's also pushing me off the phone alot and same with her husband. I mean I don't understand I have never lost a dog like this and worked for kennels and I mean they sometimes lose dogs. I'm worried she's going to go to a small claims court and file for neglience and then get money off me. I dont have pet insurance b/c I need to find a place that covers me and the clients pets. Also, the dogs leash is very big like a collie's leash. I think its a little weird for a poodle who weighs only 15 pounds to be wearing that. I don't understand this poodle was fine and next thing you know hes gone! Also, her sister works for a groom shop and was the one who referred me to her. I just hope she doesnt tell her and make me look bad b/c i have a good reputation for pet sitting and don't want her groom shop or her to ruin me over this. SOMEONE HELP ME! I've been sick over trying to find this dog, I barely slept or ate…

Keep notes of everything that you have done in this case. Note the time and content of phone calls with the owner and how the conversation ended. Also note who you called to report the missing dog and when you reported it. If she does sue in small claims court you need to show that you were not negligent and the owner refused to work with you to recover the dog. The courts consider dogs to be personal property and only award the winners of suits the replacement cost of the dog. If this dog is from champion stock the owners will be required to prove it. otherwise the court will assume it to be pet quality and you will have to buy them a new dog. If I was in your shoes I would get a list of prices from breeders of pet quality dogs to bring to court. The judge will use that to determine the value of the dog.
Your story sounds like the new owners don't want to find the dog. There isn't much you can do but wait for the owners to contact you with any demands. Keep looking for the dog and keep records of your efforts. Look in the old owners neighborhood. The dog might be trying to return home.

Min poodles coat has grown out. After bath I let him dry and them went to brush him. He is matted at the skin. I was able to brush most matting out a few minutes ago and I am giving him a break. Any tips for poodle grooming well taken.

with a poodle, there's a few key things you should remember.

always make sure you can brush and COMB through the coat from nose to tail before giving the bath. The water will only tighten any existing knots and tangles

also, you don't want to just "let him dry". Their coat is very curly, and will curl together and tighten even more. Their coat is meant to be blow dried. It will help to straighten the hairs, which will make combing much easier

keep an eye on the skin if you attempt to brush and dematt. The skin can be very very sensitive, and to much brushing over and over again in the same spot can result in something called "brush burn" It's when the skin gets irritated by having the brush tines rake over the skin over and over again. Like little tiny cuts and scratches. They can turn into dreaded hot spots.

The key to remember is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Comb and brush on a daily basis to preven the mats and tangles from forming in the first place. And above all, do no harm. If dematting is going to be painful for the dog, then it's in his best interest to just shave down and start over. Humanity before Vanity.

i have spent all day yesterday looking on the internet for a sliver male toy poodle and couldn't find one what can i do, does any one on here have a male baby poodle for sale. i live in texas.prue breed with papers.

AND FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO TELL ME TO GO TO A SHELTER I HAVE 3 ANIMALS THAT CAME FROM THERE I WANT ONE PRUE BREED THANK YOU

Hey, you are in luck, I saw a silver male poodle on Poodle Rescue of Houston. Can you believe they have 90 poodles available right now?? Some are even breeder surrenders, tons of pure breds. Anyway, if you buy a baby from a breeder, they will be black and have something like a 25-50% chance of turning silver as they age. Silver is a less common genetic trait…

But they have a silver male pup for sale in Copperas Cove, it is near Ft Hood.

I have been looking everywhere and every single puppy I find it was over my price range or its just spam! I have looked on many website's and I was hoping to get my grandma a puppy for her birthday because her little teacup poodle passed away. I just need some help because I don't know what too look for in a puppy!!
Thanks for much help!

Please, please be absolutely sure that your grandma wants another puppy! It sounds like a great thing to do for your grandma–but maybe she is not ready yet. Also, she should get the kind of puppy that SHE wants. It would be much smarter and better to give her a gift voucher for the SPCA, or a shelter–so she can pick out the exact puppy that she wants. After all, grandma will be the one raising and paying to take care of this little dog for the next 10-15 years–and that is a BIG commitment. It costs alot to raise a pup–vet bills, monthly medicines, spay/neuter, food, toys, etc. And that is IF the puppy is very healthy.
The 1st year of my little chihuahua's life, I spent a thousand dollars in vet bills!

First off–never ever BUY a puppy from a 'pet store'–These puppies come from horrible puppy mills and are often very genetically sick. Nomatter what the manager of the store says–their puppies are not from local breeders. Unless the manager of the pet store can show you, in person, the mother and father dog of their puppies (which they will NOT be able to do this)–steer clear from any pet from a pet 'store'.
There are hundreds and hundreds of puppies born everyday that need a forever home. Most that aren't saved, are put to death.
It is a wonderful feeling to save a life!

Anyway–this is just my opinion. Go to www.petfinder.com and put in the type of dog, age, sex, size, sex, city, state–and a whole list of pups/dogs will come up, with pictures and descriptions of available furbabies that are in need of a loving forever home–and someone to save their life. Adopting a shelter poodle, or any dog is a wonderful thing to do.
You could see what is available, copy down the name and phone number/address of several pet adoption places–and you and your grandma could go together to pick out a puppy, maybe with your mom, to help out.

Okay–I just went and looked around petfinder and there is very little in ND!
I did find one place in Fargo, and here is their website, with dogs available for adoption;
http://www.4luvofdog.com/

You can also talk to your local vets and ask them where are places with puppy adoptions. Do you have PetSmart pet stores near you?
I found this one;
(701) 250-8107 - 1211 W Century Ave, Bismarck, ND
The ones here, in PA have pet adoptions one day a week!

Central Dakota Humane Society Adoption Center in Mandan, North Dakota here is their website–they are a No Kill shelter;

Good luck–but p[lease check with your mom/grandma first to make absolutely sure that she is really ready for another puppy!

I need help! I'm trying to groom my little poodle but it's hard getting through her curly hair, what's a good type of brush to use that's going to fluff her out? Also any good shampoos to help keep her hair super white?? Thanks!
Slicker Brush, Pin Brush, & Greyhound Comb are used for grooming.
Your Poodle should be professional groomed every 4-6 weeks.
Most whitening shampoos should be used sparingly as they tend to dry out the coat.
I highly recommend Buddy Wash Shampoo/Conditioner:

I was going to get another minature but I would really like to have a standard. I am a stay at home mom of a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I have older sons who do help with the dogs (not the house). Am I getting too many dogs. I am addicted to poodles.

Right now I've got a Brittany and a standard Dachshund, and in two months I'll be adding another Brittany. And they'll all be within a year's age of each other. Is it a lot of work? Sure, but it can be managed if you know what you're doing. Here's some tips that might help you.

1. Crate train your dogs. They can all go in and out together, much like getting children up together and putting them to bed together. Putting them all out in the yard together and syncing their "potty" times will make things much easier. They can also all eat in their respective crates to make feeding time easy.

2. Take them to a local dog park (or have the older sons do it) for exercise. A one hour visit several times a week is plenty. Or, if you don't have a dog park, have your older sons take the dogs on a one hour walk 3-4 days a week. This should be adequate exercise.

3. Feed them all the same food (so long as there are no special cases), and a good quality but reasonably priced food. Right now my boys are eating ProPlan (please no Purina haters!), but when puppy #3 comes along I think I will switch to Purina One since it is essentially the same formula as ProPlan, just about 30% less the cost. Also, dry food is much much cheaper than wet food. Have a picky eater? You can easily make wet food out of dry food by soaking it in water; just scoop the food into a tupperware container, fill with water until you've covered the food, then stick in in the fridge for 6-8 hours. When it's time to eat, you can stick it in the microwave for 45-60 seconds (make sure it's not too hot; moderately warm is good; just think baby food temperature) and the dogs should love it.

4. Buy in bulk. Food is cheaper in bulk, flea drops and heartworm preventative are cheaper in bulk, etc. etc. etc. You can buy lots of pet items for cheaper on www.jefferspet.com . So long as you buy a lot of items that you need at once (and make it worth the shipping cost) you can save a lot of money. And even some vets will give discounts when you bring in 3 or more animals at once (you may want to call your vet and ask about this); another alternative is to visit a low-cost vet clinic. Most low-cost clinics aren't emergency clinics, but you can get your vaccinations and medications for a very reasonable price.

Only you can decide if you're ready for 3 dogs. If you have the space and the extra help, I say why not? Good luck!
