Clyde's results (four 3's, two 4's,
two 5's, one 1, one 2) indicate a friendly but laid back puppy,
who wants attention but has no need to dominate. He came readily
to our tester and followed her. He did not struggle at all when
being held down or held in the air but stayed relaxed and
accepted domination. He showed little interest in retrieving- he
chased the object but did not bring it back to the tester. He
showed a high tolerance to touch, which indicates that he is a
pretty stoic guy. He stayed calm when exposed to strange sounds
and sights with curiosity. This profile fits our experience with
Clyde. He is one of the most social puppies in the litter,
always trying to get to us and stay there. He seems far more
interested in us than his littermates. Clyde needs a home where
he will receive lots of attention. He would not be happy in a
home where his owners are gone 40 hours a week. He wants to be a
much loved companion and friend to his owner. He's moderately
active. He would enjoy a fairly active lifestyle but could
easily adapt to just being with his humans, as long as he has a
fenced yard where he can run around. He would not be a good
candidate for a hunting home, but might enjoy being shown as he
could easily charm the judges, and he is just beautiful.

Clyde continues to be a big boy
and measured 13 1/2 inches tall by 13 1/2 inches in length.
Clyde is just a bit on the thinner side right now, as he is
growing so quickly. His fur has darkened just a little, and
is a lovely crème with some natural shading and darker ears.
The only weaknesses we noted in Clyde today, were that his
eyes were just a tad on the round side of almond. We also
gave him a 4 for straightness of his back legs as they were
just slightly less straight than most of his littermates.
His front legs were perfectly straight. His ears match
the poodle standard exactly with his low set ears which hang
close to his body. Clyde has one of the best ear sets in the
litter and a lovely face and expression. Clyde tested a
show/breeding quality and has the personality for the show
ring.
