Dear Joyce;

I just wanted to write a note to you to tell you of the joy that my new pup Ivy has brought to our household. 

Being that I am unfamiliar with Standard Poodles, I was a little unsure of how this pet would fit into our family, but after visiting with you, Riley, and the other pups, I knew that she would be an excellent fit.  Let me say that I am dealing with one smart dog! 

Ivy graduated a week early from her puppy school classes, and the trainer at PetSmart had said that Ivy was her very first Standard student and that she'd heard the rumors of how smart Standards were and she was happy to confirm that she is indeed a very smart dog. Her disposition is absolutely wonderful, and she is terrific with my young girls.  In fact, she and my 4 year old have a lot in common; lots of antics and playful energy! 

She has even brought my 12 year old Chow mix dog back to a playful dog again; they play tug-of-war, chase each other, and wrestle constantly.  I enjoy taking her to the pet stores to shop, people immediately come over to her to meet her and she is so friendly to everyone.  People are generally used to seeing the smaller breed of poodles, but when they find that she is a Standard Poodle, they ask lots of questions and are so curious. 

Her veterinarian has even commented that he doesnt see many Standards, and I would hope that this will soon change as they are an excellent breed of dog.  Most recently, she has discovered her big girl bark, and uses it quite frequently in the backyard as she feels the need to protect her surroundings. 

I know that she will grow to be an excellent companion and watchdog for our family.  Ivy comes from excellent parents, this is evident from her intelligence and appearance as she is just a beautiful dog.  The time and research that you've done in preparation for breeding really shows, as it will in future litters as well. 

For anyone considering the addition of a Standard Poodle to their family, I would highly recommend one of your pups!
