When my mom was pregnant with me the doctors told her she was having twins. This was before the days of routine ultrasounds. Well, when I was born it was just me. My mom and dad were friends with a groomer who showed toy poodles. This lady didn't breed very often. I think she only ever had about 4 litters but when I was born she just happened to have a litter that was ready to go home. They had all been sold except the one that she was planning on keeping. My mom who explains that she was very happy to have me but still a bit upset because she had planned on twins. (Now that I have kids I can understand) Well after I was born my dad went out for a bit. He went over to their friends house and he talked this lady into letting him buy the poodle that she was keeping, for my mom. Ebony and I grew up together. We moved when I was in 7th grade and she was killed by another dog while in our fenced in back yard. She was 14 yrs. old. As you can imagine my dogs, to this day, do not go out back unsupervised. She was my sister and I never knew her any differently.

Tyson, the terrier that bit Kisses was our male Rat Terrier named Handsome. He was our Cuties soulmate. We took him to a Rat Terrier rescue only a couple days after he bit Kisses. He now lives with a family up north. The mom is a school teacher, and he gets to go to the private school she teaches at everyday. He has done well with them. Cutie, the one I had up as an avatar a little while ago was hit by a car about 1 1/2 years ago when my wife took her to the vet.

Abba Zaba is our smallest toy. She was bred out of Jujube and Dylor's Noble Justice. He was the #1 red toy poodle in the US last year. Bit O' Honey is her sister who is with our handler right now. She took best toy puppy at the poodle club show her first time out.
Sugar Baby is our Alpha. She tells all (including the standards) what goes. She's not viscious or overbearing. She just does what needs to be done when it needs to be done. Her daughter Jujube is actually the bossy one.
Heartbreak Hotel "Elvis" was from our breeding from Sammy and Midnight. He's the one with a congenital heart murmur, hence the name. His brother and sister "My Boy" and "Music" are both in show homes.
