Nah, the french just screwed up the Hairdos


Which pictures?

Try a Google search - 'poodle origins' - multi hits will appear - 'pudel' - puddle dog.

 

[LaFleche]

Known as the 'Caniche' or duck dog. Germany is also claimed as a possible origin, but dogs pictured appear 'non poodle' other than coat.

Yes, but not every claim is true, and the FCI registers the origin as french:

ETA: I honestly don't care where the origin lies, I just like the large black variety very much, but without the ridiculous (sometimes even abusive) clips

Well, actually the French shrank them for flea catchers.

Wherever they came from originally, whatever color they are, or however their hair is cut....
.....the larger poodles are great dogs.

Good morning Cafe. Coffee is ready.
The rain rolled in last night and is here to stay a while.

 

[LaFleche]

Good morning everyone!

A fresh pot of hot coffee is on the counter, so hepl yourselves to a nice cup and join me.

Autumn is in full swing, the leaves begin to fall and the rain just won't stop. Chickens are molting heavily, but thankfully they still lay a nice number of eggs daily.

Good riddance.

Indeed.
I usually feel a tad guilty when doing a foxfeed cull, but not so much this time.

Chickens are molting heavily, but thankfully they still lay a nice number of eggs daily.

Do you have new pullets laying....or are your molting birds actually laying?

Good morning, Cafe', and thanks DL. Off and on rain predicted for all day here.

His foot is looking better.
This is from one week ago.

This is from this morning.

New color.

After covering it with a non-stick pad and gauze, I wrap half of a feminine hygiene pad with the plastic wrapping still on the top over the dressing to pad his foot bones so he doesn't get sores from the co-flex rubbing the boney points. I learned that trick the hard way.
