In late December of 1995 we got Freddy as a 5
month old, his birthday is 7-22-95. At that time
he was a very dark brown color. Today at 2.5
years old, he is light brown to silver beige in
color. We were told that browns fade in color as
they get older but never did we expect this much
color change. Take a look at Freddy's Photo Page to see
for yourself.
We had a lot of first time learning to do with
Freddy. Crate training was new to us, more on
this later. Poodle hair care was not as bad as
some had painted it, but learning to groom a poodle for show was
only possible due to all the help we received
from R'Tec Poodles and their dog
handler Randy.
On April 1, 2005 Freddy died. He is missed by
may people that knew him, but I will never
forget this great poodle. I have been with dogs all
may life, and Freddy was the smartest, loving
animal of them all.
On January first of 1998 we got Jette as a 4
month old, her birthday is 8-30-97. She is half
sister to Freddy and is black. Take a look at Jette's Photo Page.
