Colorado Red Royal Standard Poodles

Here is Rosie.

Rosie is a Darcy / Reuben puppy-girl.  Rosie is a Huge girl - a True Pony sized Girl!  We compare Rosie to Big Betty.  Both Betty & Rosie are exceptional poodles - It is very hard / if not impossible to find the size and color of these two girls.  For more information on BIG Betty, just click on the tab to the right of this page.

Rosie stands 29" tall and weighs 78 lbs.  She thinks she is a 'lap-dog' and is always there wanting your undivided attention.  

Rosie is a very happy girl and loves to play ball with the other poodles.  She also enjoys playing tug-o-war, she is so graceful when running in the yard - a delight to watch.  Rosie is so much like her mother, Darcy, using her front paws 'to tap you' all the time.   :)

 Almost 2 WEEKS OLD

2-1/2 WEEKS OLD.  They have changed a lot!  Their eyes are open, they are starting to 'sing', and walking around.  Growing like weeds.  

These kids are now putting it in 4-wheel drive and crawling right over Rosie with no problem.  

Sorry about the difference in the coloring and 'texture' in the photos - they were all taken by the same camera...??  I'm thinking I need to go back to a digital camera, in hopes the photos stay more consistent.

 4 WEEKS OLD

They have the dog-door mastered!  It won't be long and they will be 'flying' through the dog door!  "Flying" means they will be going through that door and their feet won't even touch the threshold.   :)

(above)   This puppy-girl is wondering what all the fuss is about!  hahaha  

(below)  Here comes another puppy!   They catch on so fast - smart pups   :)

(below)   SEE YA!!, I'm outta here...

This is Pistol Pete.  What a character he is!!  This boy is always happy.  Standing 28" tall and weighing 75 lbs.  He is light on his feet and greets us when ever he see us.  He is so happy, he will shift his weight from one front foot to the other, with a 'smile' on his face.

He loves to play fetch, and chase the guinea fowl in the yard as he leap / runs in the yard like a deer.  Many times all four feet are in the air (stretched out like a gazelle) as he makes strides, looking for a hidden rabbit in the grass.

Pistol is an easy going, wouldn't hurt a fly type of dog.  A perfect ambassador for the poodle breed.
