YOO-HOO, POODLES! WHERE HAVE YOU GONE?
Whatever happened to poodles? I never see them anymore. When I was a child, it seemed that every wealthy older lady toted around a toy poodle (the way Paris Hilton used to swan around clutching her Chihuahua accessory-dog). Toy poodles actually DID look like toys (nervous toys) and always seemed little more than overly-groomed puffballs with pink bows and pink painted nails, usually with rhinestone collars. I would occasionally see the great big standard poodles, too, but I don't see those much either. But the little yippy poodles ... where are they these days? Maybe I just don't recognize them anymore. Dog grooming must have trends that come and go. Maybe they look like Pomeranians now.
I read an article a few weeks ago by a veterinarian who listed dog breeds he's sad to have seen fall out of fashion. He says he rarely sees Collies and Irish Setters anymore. Come to think of it, I don't either. They used to be all over the place. Weird.
