Aw, thanks! He’s a photographer by trade but weddings are the bulk of his work, not pooches!

[Here](http://imgur.com/a/nnVoP) are a few pics of my little lady after her groom. She’s camera shy (we’re working on it!) so it’s difficult to get a shot of her head on.

She’s _definitely_ poodley, **lavenderviolet** , you’re right. The other trainer I work with thinks she’s a small Labradoodle.

She’s coming along beautifully. Learned to sit on cue within a day and rarely jumps up anymore (maybe her brother should learn from her, we’ve been working on his jumping for 2 years!) and will sit when she wants attention, to go out the door, even at corners on walks. Today we’re tackling “down” 🙂 She’s had a couple of snarky incidents with our Lab, but I think it’s just normal dog stuff and nothing scary. A quibble over a piece of fallen kibble and one snarly moment that I didn’t see the cause of. Can’t imagine why anyone would give this little cutie up, she’s such a good dog!

Oh most definitely poodley, especially all spiffed up!

My little 25 lb dog is snarky and bossy with the boys (85 lb Labrador, 100+ lb Rottweiler, 60 lb pit bull cross) and in fact is snarky and bossy with most male dogs. It’s the Bitch Prerogative, and she knows it.
