About Tiabeanie
Tiabeanie, or commonly called bean, is our Only standard poodle. She is beyond sweet and nothing but a cuddle bug. She is game for anything you through at her, mile long walk? Therapy work at the hospital? spend all day on the couch? Anything is fine with her. She has never met a stranger, she love everyone no matter what, including the vet! Bean has proven herself in the sport ring, the show ring, and at every social gathering. Bean loves everyone no matter age or behavior, she can find the best in any situation! (She can also find the best snuggle spot in the bed!)
