This is Jenna, though it breaks our hearts, it's time to place her into her retirement home so she can lead the rest of her life as someones cherished pet. Jenna was born 9/12/02 so she will be five years old in September. She is in excellent health, has never had anything more than an ear infection. Jenna is OFA Good, CERF Normal and OFA Heart Normal, she has another 10 years or so of love to give to her new family.

Jenna would do best in a home with older children rather than young toddlers and a young and playful cat or kitten if any. Though she's been raised her whole life with cats, she does like to chase and can be rather bothersome to an older cat who just wants to be left alone! Jenna can be placed with another dog but she is an alpha so the family would have to be experienced dog people to know how to handle the situation. Funny thing is she does best with other Poodles, she seems to know her own kind!

Jenna is what's called blue, lighter than a black but darker than a silver or gray, she holds herself with confidence and is very elegant and agile in movement. She's a good watch dog, she has the bark of a Dobermin and has impressed many anti Poodle people with it! Those who think Poodles are sissy dogs! Jenna could walk for miles with someone who likes to excercise, or be content to lay by the side of someone who just wants a friend. She's been an excellent nanny for our three children, when they are playing outside she goes out with them, when they are scared to go outside at night to take out the garbage, she's the one they call to come alongside them. Jenna is very intuitive to your needs, very human like. Though she hasn't had much obedience training, she is highly motivated by yummy treats and the clicker, which we use for training our dogs. She walks pretty nicley on a leash, not perfect, this would need to be worked on if someone wanted to take her for frequent walks as she doesn't walk perfectly at your side in a heal and can pull sometimes, we're in the country so she rarley needs to be on leash. She sits when asked, she has excellent house manners, though she can sometimes go after a dirty baby diaper that someone forgot to put in the trash! YUCK! She's not a chewer or a digger, though she also never gets left outside. She has perfect potty manners, she goes out 2 to 3 times a day and comes right back in. She is crate trained though we don't make her sleep in the crate at night on a regular basis, she prefers to sleep next to my daughters bed.

This is just a taste of info about Jenna for you to consider if she might be a dog you'd like to add to your family. For more information please give me a call so we can talk more. Please understand that Jenna is our good friend and we love her dearly and want to make sure she goes to the very best home for her specific personality and that she will be a blessing to your home as well. For this reason, please don't be offended if I let you know that your home might not be the best match for her. I've spent everyday with her for the past almost 5 years so I know her very well. I will be interviewing different families and taking phone numbers, unless there is an unusual connection from the very beginning, I will continue to interview those who want to adopt her and then choose the very best match.

Her adoption price is $1,200 this includes up to date shots, her spay and a dental done. Once the family is choosen to adopt her, and the payment made I will have her spayed and her teeth cleaned. She will need to spend the next 3 weeks with us recovering from her spay then she will be ready to go home with her new family. Shipping is possible and would cost aprox $500 extra, so if you're out of state don't hesitate to call, you may just be the perfect family for her, though I have to say I'd rather have her do somewhere local because whoever she does go to has to sign a contract saying that if they EVER for WHATEVER reason couldn't keep her, she has to come back, and if you are out of state you'd have to pay to ship her back.
