Cara, The World's Best Poodle Mother!

I am often surprised by the poodles and something that they do, but yesterday morning was off the scale!

When I got up for work, Cara was well into labour and had 3 beautiful puppies already. Mum had already set her up in the bathroom, so I went and got my clothes ready and by the time I got into the bathroom, she had had another puppy. So I am fiddling around before I had my shower - plucking, squeezing, generally inspecting - and Cara scratches on the door to be let out of the bathroom. I figure that she is finished and needs to do wee. So she gets out of the bathroom, and walks a few steps onto the newspaper, squats and out comes another puppy! The other dogs all started to gather round, so in the blink of an eye, Cara quickly breaks the sack over it's face, picks the puppy up in her mouth and tears it away from the placenta, picks the pup up and carries it back into the bathroom like nothing happened.

I have never seen anything like it!!!

She ended up with five - three apricot girls, one apricot boy and one black girl.

Go Cara!!!

(Nb: That's not really Cara in the pic - I will post a pic of Cara and the new bubbies soon).

Silver Puppies

This is a gorgeous silver boy we have at the moment. Poodles are born darker in colour, and then lighten up, so you see his silver roots before he has had his first haircut.

Here is one we prepared earlier....

Some Cute Red Puppies

Aren't they just gorgeous!

Some Pictures

Here is a blurry photo of a red puppy (at about 1 week old)....
Slightly less blurry....

But here's one we prepared earlier....

This is an adult red, who we call Red Fred, who is the daddy dog of our red puppies.

Aren't they cute?!?

Welcome to Calpurnia Poodles

Hi there. This blog is in part to rant about poodles, but also to show off our beautiful puppies. I hope in time to include information about all our dogs, funny anecdotes and pictures of both our adult dogs and the puppies we may have for sale.
We are based in Warburton which is approximately 72 kilometres North East of Melbourne. We breed toy poodles, and have done so since 1994. We have a large permanent population of female poodles and we enjoy the insanity they create.
Well here goes - enjoy!
