We have had several standards since our first one acquired when we lived in Pennsylvania. Gigi was an absolute delight, gloriously great black coat. We loved her for thirteen years, and grieved terribly when we lost her. Remington (apricot) was acquired in Denver as a watchdog companion for our granddaughter. When our son enlisted in the military 2 years later our daughter-in-law moved to Pueblo and could not keep him. So we very willingly took him home with us to Lake Dillon in the mountains. He lived to age 14,but last few years had serious health challenges. We discovered that his breeder was NOT careful or concerned about quality so our poor Remington had to have ongoing Vet care. NOW, as for CNC POODLES, WOW!. They are the best. Our Prancer, now four years old, is the smartest, most beautiful Standard we have ever met. Jeana is VERY strict with health issues, keeping the breed PURE. and NO mixing breeds, or goofy "parti colors". If you think she is ARROGANT, she is only protecting a CHAMPION LINE, but not just for show dogs, but also for happy, healthy , loving pets. I highly recommend CNC Poodles, but you will probably get on a waiting list, as she is NOT a puppy mill. Vickie Kline Pueblo West Co.
