Dropped my phone on our way home today and didn't realize it until we were already back at the house. We went back out to find it, and I'm glad we did, because we took this picture today and I would be really sad to lose it.

Sunshine resting after running around with new dog friends at Grandpa cars house. Grandpa cars Have 2 poodles , like Sunshine , but smaller . Is fun watch Sunshine run not-with leash on .
it’s been a long and bumpy road emotionally, but he’s a star in the ring and we haven’t had a bad weekend. win or lose, he’s so fun to handle, and i’ll always love him more than anything (except Denver <3) very proud of my little bird!
Yall seriously just look at all these colors and patterns
There's no need to go to backyard breeders if you just want a certain color or pattern
And about the merle thing: poodles can carry the merle gene but it is not to standard and can be dangerous for the puppies if it is specifically bred for (it can cause puppies to be blind, deaf, and/or have autoimmune diseases so it's best to be avoided for the most part in this breed)
A more humane option for similar patterns? Parti patterns are the ones with that cow print pattern and they come in every color!
If you're struggling to know if a breeder is reputable? Go to dog shows! Breeders with dogs with conformation titles means that they are to standard, and as far as the judges can tell, they are healthy, well formed dogs
(There is obviously more that goes into it, but it's a good starting point!)
(If you're interested in all the patterns and colors by name and description, the AKC and UKC websites have all that in detail)
