Blackjack, usually just called "Jack", is my very first Standard Poodle, still a very young man, and the reason I fell in love with the breed.   I did not choose to show Jack, though his father is a Champion.   However, he is the love of my poodle life, the sweetest, gentlest, most devoted companion anyone could want.   I have no doubt he would protect me to his last breath!   Jack "trains" all my new kids, and he also trains me - - I practice my grooming skills on Jack, and let me tell you, he's had some very interesting haircuts!   Gotta love this boy!

Jack's future includes some obedience adventures, and possibly companion training.   He lives for a "Good Boy!"
