Guess you saw my name at the top of the page and you already
know my name is BeCe. Well, actually it's BabyCakes, but my Mommy
decided to shorten it a wee bit. But she has lots of favorite names she
likes to call me like, Precious, Sweetie, Doggie Boy, Beaster, Bug, and
the list goes on. So I usually come to her regardless of what she calls
me.
As you can see, I'm a minature Poodle. I was born on November 5,
1997...so that makes me almost eight years old....in people years. Just
in case you don't know a lot about Poodles, I'll give you just a bit of
history about my ancestors. We, Poodles, were water dogs used for
retrieving. And the texture and pattern of our coats to this day reflect
the purposes for which we were bred. Miniatures, like myself, and Toys
have been bred down from the larger Poodles but we exhibit the same
general characteristics. We are an active, intelligent, ruggedly-built
dog which at the same time is elegant and refined. All of us well-bred
Poodles, in all three varieties, have steady calm nerves, hardy
constitutions and we are easily trained. We are a "person" and we expect
to be treated as one! Each one of us has our own special character and
for that reason we make wonderful companions.
Being a Poodle we expect to be a member of the family. We love to
take our Mommy and Daddy for walks so we expect them to excercise with
us regularly. We require regular clipping and grooming and having our
ears and teeth cleaned. We are not finicky eaters (unless made so by an
indulgent Mommy and/or Daddy) and we thrive on simple, prepared dog
foods.
Our most outstanding characteristics are our intelligence and sense
of humor! We are very loyal and once most people have experienced us for
a pet they seldom go to another breed. And our human parents are very
loyal to us and will not think twice about telling you how great we are.
That's why my Mommy is doing this page about me. WOL!!(That's Poodle
talk for WOOF-ON-LINE)
Our name, Poodle, came from the German word, pudel, referring to
water, of which we are a native and NOT France as is generally thought.
We got our start in the swamps as a water dog trained to retrive fallen
birds for hunters. Beyond these facts, our origins remain pretty much a
mystery.
Now that you know a little bit about me let's move on to the pictures
that Mommy has taken of me.
Here I am
under the big oak tree in our back yard in NC. This is my favorite
outdoor spot. I love to run around and chase the squirrels up the tree
and of course I love to watch the birds.
This is
another favorite spot of mine. I love to lay at door and look outside at
the people that pass by
This was made
a couple of years ago at Christmas. As you can see my Mommy has a few
poinsettias sitting around.
Here I
am in a real "close up." Actually, my Mommy and Daddy are not very good
at taking my picture and they never do me justice. I'm really much
better looking than this.
Please check back with us often as
my Mommy will be adding more pictures of me. Before you leave, won't
