Colorado Red Royal Standard Poodles

This is ARi!   Short for Ariat.  This girl is full of energy and loves to play outside.  She is alsways happy too see us and loves all the attention she can get.  She loves to have her tummy rubs and loves special time sitting on the couch with us, while watching the evening news.  Ari is a Beautiful Dark Red Girl.  We think she will be a wonderful mother someday soon.

ARi is already standing 28" tall, weighing 63 lbs. 

ARi is from our breeding program, we kept for our breeding program.  She is a Rosie  /  Pistol Pete puppy.

Ari is a beautiful girl - it is hard to find standards that are built this sturdy - they are absolutely gorgeous!

What a Beauty!!

FAVORITE play toy.  You'd better save your empty milk container.  Be sure to take the lid off and the label.  THe pups have a Blast with this milk container!!  Antler chews are also a favorite!

All wore out  :)  If you ever want to lose a few pounds - get a  litter of puppies.  You will not have time to eat  :)

Here is Ari, showing us her black spot on her tongue, we call, "The Black Spot of Royalty"

Ari to the left, Missy to the right.  Best of friends  :)

Ari has very good eye contact with us - she has a very 'calm /soft eye' and is always eager to learn and explore.

I think she is trying to tell me something...

We put Rosie's & Ari's puppies together during the day to play.  Rosie just 'Loves' all of the puppies...  whether they are her puppies or Ari's puppies.  She will lay down with them for hours.

 Can you find Rosie?!

Sooo cute!!

New places, new toys and adventures!  We move the puppies to different places so they can experience new things in a 'group' it is a lot less scary.  :)

We even have Mr Turkey stop by to visit when we put the puppies in the garage.  He will bring his chicken friends and then the guineas will follow!  They all want to know what's going on!  Yes, it's a zoo around here at times - but fun and it's never boreing.  :)
