I am soo impressed with Megan for been so good with puppy, she is a saint. 

Soo many people comment on loving airdales yet you don't see many around, she does have a mind of her own though but is 90% fab.

I love Airedales and a book that I read called Crossing the Gates of Alaska by Dave Metz really made me appreciate them for their strength of character and working drive.  It's a really good read and I think you would like it as there is a lot about how his dogs (2 Airedales)  coped and pulled him through.

I thought I liked her scruffy best but she looked so chique with her lopsided bow, (it was hard to capture in a pic), I love poodles but not the pom poms but I am starting to wonder if its easier than I thought to get caught up in the different looks that can be acheived with a poodle.

Wow, she is pretty. In all the years I've tried to keep up knowledge of breeds old and new I didn't realise you could get a Parti. May be something to think about  :innocent:
Love the standards and they are so intelligent and workable as well as full of bounce. Just my type of dog  :love:

Do you want a dogsitter? You may not get her back  :innocent:

She is such a poppet, hoping to breed from her in a couple of years if we can find a stunning stud. 

Its such a shame that parti poodles are registered with the Kennel Club but not showable at a professional level because the 2 colours were classed as a fault even though they are one of the original colours of a working poodle as shown by many old pictures (back in the day for fashion reasons the multi coloured poodles where dispossed of but are now making a come back, so who knows).

I didn't realise part coloured poodles had been allowable in past years - I have Hutchisons Encyclopedia - I will check that.  There are lots of plates.  I once had it valued - £100 for the whole seven volumes - at least £50 per plate and there are hundreds - where's the  logic in that?  :innocent: :excited: 

If I find any parti's I'll scan and post.
