Sprinting through the water

When we are eventually let off leash (providing any small humans and other canines are not close by) boy, do we just go for it! I think we run faster than Wuh wa huff's (Greyhounds). Despite the best efforts of the humans, we headed for the surf and got soaking wet. Ha! Poodles are made for water.

Mia and I barked a lot at other dogs when they walked by. Somehow I get the feeling we'll be going to doggy training next weekend...

Good posture is important

We Poodles have the knack of looking good. We are instantly recognisable as Poodles; it must the the wavy hair and stunning features! And we never get 'look at the doggie'. It's always, 'look at the Pooooodle'!

In this photo taken at van Riebeeckstrand last weekend, my little sister Mia demonstrates her beach pose. If there are other dogs or humans about to pay us homage, we Poodles take a second to compose the perfect stance allowing for praise, petting/sniffing and photos. Interestingly, you can see Mia's champagne colour quite nicely in this photo. The colour doesn't come up that well in photos normally.
