My mother has owned poodles for *40* years, because she feels they are cleverer than other dogs, although the Spinal Tap drummer-style deaths of many suggest otherwise. They are always black and never show- groomed, because my mum would rather eat Glands For Dinner. Raw. When one poodle dies, it takes her about a fortnight to send for reinforcements. There were:
Sam. Went to 'live on a farm' after I attempted to milk him when I was 3, and he bit my face off because THAT WASN'T AN UDDER.
Tuffy. Not very clever: ran away to become ROADKILL.
Casey. Killed by next door's Great Dane for checkin' out his LADY.
Next Casey. Had one eye. Did not see the Suburban coming.
Molly. Died of old age (17) last year. Psychotic genius from Hell who trapped members of Huggy Bear and Bikini Kill in our basement, among other amusing accomplishments.
Willie. No, I did not name this dog (I was voting for Oscar). He is one and extremely spoilt, but they (my mum and sister) get a lot of mileage out of the way he keeps them amused.
Can I just point out that all the freak-death dogs were un-neutered males? And people wonder where I get some of my ideas about the damage caused by the Y chromosome...

huge, shaggy, uncropped standard poodles, especially black ones: as classic as dogs get. Uncropped miniatures not bad either.
