When I say that I like poodles...

Okay so if someone says to you I like poodles what sort of image enters your mind??? This is Research and highly important!!

images welcome.

that you're as camp as monkstown on a tenting holiday.

Do you mean there is more than one of him?

well first I read it as Pootle and thought of a guy in a red rugby red shirt witha dented head. Then I read poodle and think of little white dogs with various bits of fur shaved off

okay what do you picture a poodle to look like, coulda worded the the thread a little better i guess

Like a stupid furry rat?

Don't worry. The title will get changed.

So we are talking about a guy in a red rugby shirt, with a dented head and various bits of fur shaved off?

Hahaah - thought the same thing . . .

Depends on size of dog (toy, mini, standard), cut (puppy vs. stoopid fru-fru cut) and color (about 6 different). A black standard poodle is cool. An apricot toy is a disgrace to all canines everywhere.

Signed,
Someone who almost adopted a poodle a few years back.

I would wonder what makes them taste especially better than any other type of dog.

You could also try learning how to spell dilemMa while you're there Judders old buddy

So, whats the dilemma? Let me speculate. You wanna pull some bird who thinks that poodles are nice, and you think that they are a total bastardisation of the word "dog" and should never, ever, ever have been created, because they look totally shit, are interbred and overly high strung, and generally owned by people who think dogs should be privy to the same pink or blue rinse hair treatment that their octogenerian owners are so very fond of.

Tell her to get a proper dog. Take control man, for fucks sake.

They are either a Puffy McPuffPuff or French.

Just like this guy.

lol that is the ugliest thing i've ever seen, although I have seen driver licenses that match it

Well when I think of poodles I certainly don't think of dogs since those yappy little rats are NOT dogs. My dog could eat one in one bite.

I think they're fab when they are allowed to be scruffy little bastards:

But when they are shaved and pimped and primped I just want to give their silly owners a good slapping - poor dogs:

I think of my Granny standing in the open shed shearing a poodle (French style; no, stop thinking nasty thougts, just the puffs of fur, and there is a good reason for that style) on a hot summer's day in San Diego, CA with a woman in white Capri slacks, a pink gingham short-sleeved shirt, a beehive hairdo and big black sunglasses waiting in the wings.
If I am supposed to think of a dog, it is Blanca, a fairly large, white poodle, a bit on the fat side (she was 13 when I started remembering her) with her pink skin shining through her fur; intelligent dark eyes, fuzzy paws, good natured to the bone.
P.S. What ARE those gangly creatures? Lloodles, a new cross between Llama and Poodle?

Sorry topsy, but no, no, no. All them thare photos contain non-canine animals. My dog eats bones bigger than some poodles.

The toy poodles remind me of poofy little rats. The standard poodles remind me of poofy little rats on steriods. ICK!

Exactly, they're not really actual dogs are they? Same goes for bloody poodles.

Real poodles were hard as fuck hunting dogs who think nothing of standing in freezing water for hours in some windy swamp.

Daft as me really considering all the Gaelic football Ive watched in exactly the same conditions.

On the other hand those whore's footwarmers aren't dogs, sorry, no way.

I also would assume a man owning a poodle was not straight.

Depends. Could be Judders holding it outside the shop whilst his target female is buying yet a-fucking-nother pair of bloody shoes.

I'd rather have a poodle than a cat.

No, no, no...My Alasken Malamutes would gladly eat a poodle.

Poodle==OnebiteAppetizer

At least occasionally you find a cat who acts like a dog, your not going to find a poodle that will do that.

Compromise.

Kry vir jou.

Poodles are practical. They have loud-pitched barks and are scared shitless very easily which is why it's good to have a poodle and a Rottweiler. The Rottweiler will defend the poodle by biting the intruder's head off. The cat just eats expensive food, lies around all day doing nothing, will go to someone else who feeds them i.e. they have no loyalty and is useless for anything.

Ah but you can clip a poodle all day and you still won't get a shaved pussy.

Swingers and roustabouts.

So Poodles are practical only if accompanied by a larger dog? So why not scrap the Poodle and keep the larger dog? Or maybe you just like buying lots of shoes


What is so impractical about that? A cat goes and gets food elsewhere? Sounds like you are saving money there my son. And try and get a poodle to chase a light reflection on a wall for hours... Will never happen

Put a cat up against a poodle and my money is on the cat anytime.

You need the smaller dog to make a racket and bring the intruder to the attention of the bigger dog and the owner. Trust me, it works well on the farms back home. It's sort of like the small dude in the bar who picks a fight while his "built like a brick shithouse" mate lurks around the corner.

I hate poodles. Too poofy.

Erm, presumably because poodles have been interbred to produce advanced aural and visual skills? Do you live in Narnia?


Sorry, I'd forgotten about the absolute plethora of farms I'd seen fully equipped with fluffy pink 'dogs' to compensate for the fucking awful eyesight and hearing of proper dogs. I stand corrected.

Add me to the 'standards' are well hard camp. I mean FFs people, the only reason most poodles are so neurotic is the way their idiot owners handle them. Any dog would be a whiny, timid, basketcase if their owner treated them that way. Way I see it, its just that the image of poodles attracts these types of molly-coddlers to the breed.

Oh yeah, mini's and toys suck.

Agreed, I'm from a big farming area and can't say I've ever seen a poodle at any of the farms. They usually have mutts.

You've never seen poodles on a farm??? You don't need to be from any kind of farming area to know about poodles on farms. In fact, the Discovery channel has the annual pink-candy-floss-rat sheep herding contest on this very night.

Can you tape it for me?

Actually, you do get poodles that aren't all dressed up. Trust me, the farmers don't have any gay dogs. Not all poodles go to the beauty parlour.

Well obviously they are OK when you get them. I guess it is a bit like buying a barbie doll I guess. It all comes nicely packaged with a load of styling accessories


You say they have poodles and THEN say the dogs are not gay. Contradiction there I would say. And why do these BIG dogs always look so angry? Probably because their mates have continually taken the piss for hanging around with the little gay poodle


No. Those that don't did not make it due to the larger dog eating them

Something like this.

Eggzackly. That's what I was going to say about the French-style grooming but I have this thing called a job which was demanding some attention. Anyway, poodles were originally hunting dogs which were trained to retrieve the ducks shot in flight from the swamp or lake or any other body of water where they had fallen.

Hunting season being autumn, it's fooking cold, so the water is cold, so the poodle has to stay warm somehow. If you leave all the thick, curly fur on it, it will sink like a stone - or at least waste loads of energy swimming through the water. So what the owners did: Clip away everything not necessary to keep the mutt warm, leave tufts of fur on: The chest, the thighs, the head. Voilà - French cut poodle.

My Granny not only groomed poodles, she bred them. All sorts of them, starting from - yep - apricot toy poodles all the way up to black or white king-size poodles rivalling German Shepards as to muscle and weight. They all received obidience training, some learned tricks, lots won prizes. They never snapped at you unless they had just had puppies and were being protective. Poodles are intelligent beasts, seriously.

Mind, I would never own a dog, they're boring. I am perfectly happy with my 3 cats, one of which loves playing fetch. Who needs poodles?

So here's the story...

my girlfriend is always talking about getting a poodle, you know a small very girly french poodle, even though she's scared stiff of animals. Well I thought I would get her a stuffed poodle, you know one of those really cute ones from "The bear factory" -A stufffed toy place- it was pink very girly with fluffy bits around the legs, arms, and body. Well i give her the poodle and she told me it was UGLY!!! because it it wasn't all fluffy and it was pink...

What did she expect!!!

I'm sorry but i'll never understand girls

There are cool poodles:


There are okay poodles:


And there are double plus ungood poodles:

What does the poodle think when it looks in the mirror?

Fucking hell whats that on my head!!! why are my legs blue? right revenge time...grrrr next time I get in this bastards car I am going to eat the back seat and piss in the tape deck

Ahhh, now it's clear. You fucked up lad. You steamed straight in there and approached the situation in a logical fashion. No, no, no, that never works with these wimmen beasties. When she says that she is thinking of getting a poodle what she really wanted you to do was tell her that of course she doesn't look fat, of course her friends are important to you too and of course she's prettier than that new girl at your office. Then you'd be sorted.

Face it, all women are barking! Geddit, poodles, barking, oh nevermind.

Poodles, like most hunting dogs (except for Red Setters who are the inbred aristocratic subalterns of the hunting dog world) are very smart. Even some of the toy breeds will point game, wrong size to retrieve anything of course.

So you get a smart dog, who doesn't have anything to do and gets bored easily and then to add insult to boredom, gets that "haircut" ! Bitch fucking with my do ! Gonna get medieval on her ankles. Yap, yap.

Sorry, hon, you're a loser. When a girl says grizzly, she doesn't want a teddy bear. Maybe she was trying to overcome her phobia, and you were - to say the least - non-supportive. Convince her that she really wants a fox terrier, they are small enough for the city but have a better reputation.
