688994	2008-07-15 04:21:00	Hi guys We lost our miniature Poodle last week (he was 12 y.o. after all) after a short illness, and SWMBO wants a replacement "NOW". We are looking at Trade-Me but the dogs are frickin expensive. None of you breed poodles? sarel	sarel (2490)

I bet it works . . but the price of sheep in NZ oughtta be a lot less than a sissy Frenchie dog . About the barking part . . . just tell SHMBO that the new poodle is speaking French . Keep this part to yerself . . . this "poodle" will taste a lot better than an original type when food gets scarce too . "Can I wok your dog?" Yeah! That'll work! :punk	SurferJoe46 (51)

688998	2008-07-15 05:19:00	Ouch Joe, poor guy has just lost his dog. Obviously you are not a dog owner as you would then know the bond between a dog and his family. My sympathies Sarel Ken	kenj (9738)
688999	2008-07-15 05:51:00	Replacement? You'll never find one. But a next dog, then you can. You really can't escape the high price of a poodle pup. If you're lucky then you might find an older one at the SPCA. But I recommend you get a mutt, because they are usually healthier than purebreds and (usually) quite intelligent. SPCA or your local pound is the way to go. If you're lucky you might find a purebred something too.	qazwsxokmijn (102)
689000	2008-07-15 05:57:00	Ouch Joe, poor guy has just lost his dog . Obviously you are not a dog owner as you would then know the bond between a dog and his family . My sympathies Sarel Ken I was making light of it . . true . . but I guess it wasn't the right thing to do . Sorry to offend . . . I just tried to lighten it up . BTW: I have a dog . . . a silly one, the blonde of dogs . . . but she's good even if she doesn't eat all the neighborhood children as she should . Won't go into too much detail, but I can feel some sympathy . . even if I wouldn't miss our current canine for long . After all a dog ages a week every day . Somehow they seem to die a lot sooner than people . :blush:	SurferJoe46 (51)
689001	2008-07-15 08:28:00	We have a horrible yapping poodle living next door to us. I really really want to kill it.	pine-o-cleen (2955)
689002	2008-07-15 20:39:00	Pine-o-cleen : ours was trained right, no yapping. But he was my doggie, we miss him a lot. Joe: no offence taken, and I doubt whether I will be able to bulls*t SWMBO long enough with a shorn sheep. qazwsxokmijn : I agree, but SWMBO wants a Miniature Poodle, nothing else, so it's not as if I have any choice here. Kenj : Thanks. It's awful to have a dog put down and more so when you consider said dog to be "one of the family" pctek : no can do - our SPCA do not get small dogs, they generally have these big mutts like Staffies and my section is way too small for a big dog. Dean F : Thanks, SWMBO has been checking out that site for days now. Our little dog had a heavily enlarged heart but eventually suffered/choked with blood in the lungs from either a tumour or a burst blood vessel. We could not see him suffer like that and die a slow death so we had him put down. sarel	sarel (2490)

People abandon/mistreat small dogs too. Ring them and ask them to let you know when one comes in.	pctek (84)
