Lucy the Elegant Poodle


Lucy is a glamorous five year old standard poodle who lives in Wellington, New Zealand. Her ‘Mum’ sent me her pictures and wrote this about her.

“Lucy loves long walks up the steep Wellington hills. She has made a friend of Mack, the Cairn terrier (see my blog
Cairn Terrier Finds a New Home ) and they spend time playing together in the park.

She is always beautifully groomed. Even though she’s not keen on the idea she goes to the beautician regularly to keep her coat and nails trimmed.”

Lucy’s Mum says she is a great companion and that she is very intelligent.

"She loves to sleep on the large bed rather than her own bed and she moves the pillows around to suit where she wants to lay her head."
You can see how comfortable she is in the photo.

Like most poodles she’s very social and always attends her Mum’s parties and likes to personally greet the guests and keeps an eye on everyone.

How green are the New Zealand lawns compared with the dried-up Melbourne version?

The standard poodle is said to be very adaptable and their intelligence makes them easy to train. They can live very happily in an apartment block, suburban home or on a farm. They have a dense coat and generally they don’t shed.

If you are into poodles this maybe a site you would like to check out. There are some stunning photographs and as you scroll through you'll find that there are some wonderful shots of poodles.
