Meet Chanel from her guardian home’s perspective. And Then There Were Two (Poodles) Hi, it’s me, Poodle Mama courtesy of Bernedoodle Boutique. If you follow Bernedoodle Boutique, you may have read Our Tale of One Poodle, the miraculous story of how my family was able to become the guardian home to the one and only, beautiful and loving, standard poodle, Miss Joy (she is lying on my feet as I write this 🤎.) And if you have read our story about Joy, then you know that Joy is no longer an only poodle…😃. It is with abounding awe, and overflowing gratitude, that I introduce you to our standard poodle (who happens to be Joy’s sister!!), Cocoa Chanel (“Chanel”). When I first learned of Chanel, I’ll admit, I had a real pump the brakes moment, thinking about our already (very) lively household, and questioning whether I should just be grateful for the miracle of Joy in our family. Still, I had caught the poodle mama bug, so to speak, and I decided to go meet Chanel. A little visit couldn’t hurt, right?.... Four days after meeting Chanel, Becky and I had a conversation in which I barraged her with every single barrier to my having another dog. The specific details of that conversation are hazy to me, but knowing myself, I’m sure that I shared TMI, and knowing Becky, I’m sure that she was totally unfazed and entirely supportive. The conversation ended with me saying, “Okay, so should I come get Chanel, or do you want to drop her off here?”. Chanel is such a special dog! Before she joined our family, Chanel earned her Canine Good Citizen. She is calm, present, and secure. She is the best buddy for tough days, and so much fun the rest of the time. Taking her out in public is so easy, as she is the perfect mix of confident and unassuming. And she is super athletic, always the first doggy to fetch and return the ball. One of her favorite outdoor activities is to chase water sprayed from the hose, and she has gotten Joy hooked on this pastime as well. I could go on and on about Chanel’s amazing qualities. But the foremost reason that Chanel has such a special place in my heart, is because she is absolutely incredible with my daughter. My daughter has autism, is considered non-verbal, and is medically complex. In Joy’s story, I shared that one of the reasons Joy is a good fit for our family, is because her cautious nature makes her safe and naturally avoidant of my daughter during behavior challenges. Chanel, it turns out, is the dog I didn’t know existed; a dog who is perfect FOR my daughter. During rocky moments, Chanel brings a calming presence to my daughter. When my girl is sick, Chanel seeks her out, resting her head on my daughter’s lap. Every night after my daughter crawls into bed, Chanel hops up and gives her grounding bedtime snuggles. Often my daughter seeks the sensory input of rubbing hair, and Chanel is more than happy about this arrangement. Chanel’s presence and interaction with my daughter, makes me think of Nana, the nursemaid from Peter Pan. My son and I tell my daughter that Chanel is her dog, and this seems to fill her with pride. The relationship between my daughter and Chanel is so lovely that it has brought me to tears. It would be impossible for me to look back on the choice I made to add our remarkable Chanel to our family, as anything but the best of decisions. My heart is so full. Doubly Grateful, Poodle Mama courtesy of Bernedoodle Boutique P.S. (again) Our poodle pack is made up of Joy, Chanel, and… you’ll have to wait and see 😀.

A note about Joy from her guardian mom! I have always loved animals, and my son has followed in my footsteps, “oo-ing” and “aw-ing” with me whenever we’d encounter dogs out in the community. Ever since he was a toddler, this now 9 year old son of mine has begged for us to get a dog (I don’t use the word ‘begged’ lightly– His pediatrician described his persuasive tendencies as “a lawyer mentality”). Every time my son would plead with me for us to get a dog, I’d reply with some variation of validation that his desire was real and strong and that I also wished we were able to get a dog. I’d follow this up with a brief review of the barriers to our getting a dog: I am allergic to most dogs, my other child has non-verbal autism and has been overwhelmed by dogs in the past, our income is limited by my need to stay home during the week to transport my daughter to many appointments, and finally, I’m a happy but weary single mama and I already struggle my way through most days without the added responsibility of caring for a dog. One day, around the time that my son turned 7 years old, he was once again expressing his desperate longing for us to have a dog. This time, mostly out of my own desperation to get him to stop begging me, I encouraged my son to pray for a dog. As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I felt terrible for having said it, thinking to myself, “Prayer is well and good, but our family has a laundry list of reasons why we should not get a dog, and no amount of praying is going to change that”. My son prayed aloud, right then and there, and then we went on with our lives. Fast forward to about a year later, on a day that my little attorney, I mean son, asked me to make an “emergency” stop at a local playground that we were passing on our long and exhausting drive back from taking my daughter to her daily skills program. I distinctly remember that I did not want to go to the park, but that I chose to make the detour out of kindness for my son who has spent countless hours in our van as I drive his sister around to appointments. While at the park, I noticed a couple who had two dogs which appeared to be some sort of doodle. I approached the couple and asked them about their gorgeous and well-behaved dogs. No sooner did I ask these parents (who shared my deer-in-headlights, drained-from-the-week expression) than they perked right up. They happily told me that they had gotten their dogs from a local breeder of bernedoodles, saying, and I quote, “We can’t say enough good things about Becky who is the owner of the business!”. After listening to them rant and rave about Bernedoodle Boutique, I thanked them and later went home to look them up – To my amazement, as I scrolled through the pictures of this family-run business, I recognized Becky as the mother of children who go to the same school as my son. On a whim, I sent Becky a message through her site inquiry section, and basically wrote out all the reasons that my family should not have a dog. I fully expected Becky to either not reply, or to say something like, “You are right. It sounds like a dog is just not in the cards for your family. Bummer.” (After all, who wants to waste their time with someone whose spiel is desire and then a list of prohibitive factors). Well Becky replied that same day and asked if I would have time to have a conversation. “She wants to let me down gently” I thought to myself. To my surprise and utter delight, Becky was respectful of my very valid concerns, but also not at all dismayed by them. She and I spoke for over an hour as Becky listened to the ins and outs of my complicated life, and as we worked together to troubleshoot and find a way my family could have a dog. Becky shared that she felt her guardianship program may be a good fit for our family. I had never heard of a dog guardianship, so Becky walked me through the ways this program would fit into our life. We settled on a plan for our family to do a trial period with a 1 ⅕ year old poodle named Joy. Joy was known for wanting to be lovingly on the heels of her humans from morning until night (or better yet on their laps), but also being a cautious doggy. Becky recognized that this caution on Joy’s part could work well because she would almost certainly avoid my daughter during behavioral meltdowns (we needed a dog who would get out of the way and who would never ever become aggressive with my daughter in response to her behaviors). Becky also shared that Joy was, in layman’s terms, “One of those fancy schmancy, healthy, non-allergenic standard poodles” with the genetic testing to confirm it. All of my other concerns were addressed and solutions were found. And ultimately, with the peace of mind that Joy would go back to Becky’s nurturing home if she turned out to be a poor fit for our family (or vice versa), I made plans, with the constant support of Becky, to welcome wonderful Joy into our home. Spoiler alert: It is 1 ½ years later, and Miss Joy is sleeping at my feet as I write this, our basically miraculous story. Joy is, exactly as her name says, a total Joy. She is the answer to my son’s prayers, a loving companion who gives far more than she requires, and a perfect fit for navigating the unique challenges of my daughter. She has also gained new human grandparents, whom I often overhear whispering to Joy and saying things like, “Joy, you are so cute.” and “Joy, you are the only dog I like”, or “Joy, you are my favorite grand-dog”. Rarely does a day go by that my son and I don’t turn to each other with huge smiles on our faces and amazement in our tone, and say, “We have a dog!”. I am forever grateful to Becky of Bernedoodle Boutique, for hearing me and wanting to help our family. I can say with total confidence that you will be hard-pressed to find a dog breeder as passionate, knowledgeable, and as invested in what is best for humans and dogs alike, than Becky of Bernedoodle Boutique.

Pretty Princess Polly Polly is a majestic Poodle who knows she's beautiful. Her personality is best described as "silly human-like." Her personality is only surpassed by her intelligence. Polly is a full-time resident at Bernedoodle Boutqiue and she makes us laugh at least once every single day. She doesn't request attention: She demands it in the most presistent yet polite way. And when you pet Polly you can't help to think that she thinks she's doing you a favor; and she's probably right... Polly is always 2 steps ahead of everything going on around here. She is very much "go with the flow" but that's becasue when Princess Polly is around she sets the flow. Her beauty combined with her brains makes Polly an absolute joy. She has tons of love to give and demands a ton in return. If all other dogs are playing checkers Polly is most-definitely playing chess
