You all seem like a friendly bunch, so I'd like to join you if I may. We're a small family (me, husband, daughter aged 6), from Wiltshire and we're currently dog-less. At the moment we're searching for an undocked standard poodle pup to join our family (preferably a chocolate dog). I grew up with dogs (poodles - all 3 varieties, a retriever, cocker spaniel and a newfie) and we have decided that we want to share our lives with a canine. I work from home so the pup won't be left alone, and we're lucky to live in the countryside so lots of potential for good walks. We're commited to being responsible dog owners and so thats why I'm here - to pick up some hints and tips from the experts before jumping in with both feet!

Looking forward to getting to know you all. :)

Welcome and good luck in your search.   I'm Diane and I'm owned by 5 Spanish Water Dogs :d
