Guys, we’ve gotta hand it to Leslie and Ken for the fine parents — Meg and Max — who bore our sweet pupper kids! Judy and David - please send a picture of Dallas to Judi and Scott so they can post. As you can see, we had them post ‘Killee’ on Gumbo’s site.

One thing we keep hearing over and over is how sweet the dispositions of our poodles are. That shows the quality of the sire and dam. A calm, sweet personality is indicative of a good bloodline. Would love to see Gumbo and Killee’s other brother, Dallas! And, we can believe Dallas loves the beach — Killee loves the water — he walks into our Master shower all the time and loves being hosed down before playtime outside.

Have fun with your babies — we sure are! Take care,

Lance and Lahni Venable

Hi Judy and David,
My people moved to East Texas from the Daytona area in February of this year. My sister, Creole, is a Georgia girl but she grew up in Florida. Small world!

Please post a pic of Dallas just so I can be sure that he is not cuter than I am. Some of my siblings are AWFUL cute but my dad assures me that I am the cutest. I think he might be just a little bit prejudiced

Thanks for posting. Keep in touch.
- Gumbo

PS You can send me a pic to gumbo [at] creoleandgumbo dotcom and I will post it for you. I have lots of pics of my siblings and will be posting them all very soon.

We also have one of the litter mates from the Phillips litter. We named our guy Dallas. He is our sixth standard poole, and our first apricot. We also have a ten year old black female standard named Montse and a 4 year old minature male named Dakota. We lost our big white male to liver failure in December, he was only 7 1/2 yrs.

We now live in Palm Coast, FL and the dogs love going to the beach.

Dallas is really sweet and has a great personality.

Hi, we have one of the brothers from Gumbo’s litter [Ken and Leslie Phillips were the breeders]. Gumbo looks just like Achilles [our baby]. We call him “Killee” a lot. I would love to send you a photo of Killee so you can see how much they look alike. Achilles is 19 weeks today and has a nice mix of both Meg and Max’s personalities and looks. Let me [us] know how to send you a photo.
Best regards,

Thanks Melissa. We love our poodles. I have been remiss in posting new video, but I have a lot of it and Gumbo is getting BIG. He had his first visit with the vet in the new town we recently moved to just last week and was deemed to be in great health and 23 lb 7 oz. at 13 weeks old. He is going to be one big boy!
Feel free to post pictures of your dogs here if you want. You can sign up and we will change the settings to allow you to make your own posts and post photos and videos.
Take care,
Scott & Judi

Good Morning:)

I just found your website and your two beautiful poodles! We brought our two standard poodle puppies home the day Creole and Gumbo made their video!

Sophie is black and almost 3 months old and Khloe is chocolate and now 5 months.

It’s fun to see other poodles play the same way ours do:)

Having major potty training issues with Sophie, but other than that, they are good girls:)

We definitely need to invest in a video camera!

Have a great day!

Melissa
