Mr. unidentified Realinator. I’m not sure how I got the name puppy boy around here. I think I like it. Yes, I have closed quite a few buyers end deals this year, many of which I kicked back commissions to my buyers. I appreciate your witty and ignorant banter, why don’t you come rip on me on my blog where I actually have a fighting chance to respond? Or at least identify who you are… hmmm who’s really the puppy boy here?

Well, now that we’re completely off topic, out of context and arguing about the virtues of different dog breeds, let me add this:
The germans are world reknowned for their original thinking when it comes to breeding aren’t they?
Apparently your German upbringing also endowed you with the ability to judge an animal’s hunting skill by it’s haircut?
As for the “unfriendly 5″ maybe they just didn’t like your haircut?
In regards to your anal retentive demand for accuracy I would like to point out that my original post employed a common rhetorical device known as sarcasm. Many people, myself included, consider sarcasm to be an interesting element in humorous communication. Obviously, I’m enjoying it more than you.
I’d love to delve deeper into this topic but it’s time for me to go get my haircut.
I’m thinking about getting a Realtor Cut this week.
Have a nice day.
AAARRRFFF!!!

Is real estate really going to the dogs. First we have Greg The Bloodhound, now Marlow is a Poodle?

Was there a memo I did not get? LOL

I grew up in Germany. Poodle hunting dogs are common.

However, in the last ten years of living in Seattle, I’ve met one poodle with the show cut and five with hunting cuts. Out of those six poodles, one was friendly to strangers (and it wasn’t the show dog).

I don’t like poodles per se, so much as I appreciate accuracy. You should try it sometime.

Oh Goody!
A poodle lover!
So how many poodles do you see while you’re out hunting Chad?
The poodle breed, like most of the cocker spaniels, has had the hunting bred completely out of them in favor of “breed conformity”.
Get off the computer and go hunting once in a while and you’ll know a little more what your talking about.
Some people read, other people hunt.

Kinda cute but basicly harmless and not much of a hunter either.

It's interesting to me that people would overwhelmingly take to calling someone a poodle as an insult. The poodle is one of the most intelligent and capable dog breeds in the world. They are very accomplished hunting dogs -- one of the best breeds you could use for that, in my opinion -- and are also accomplished tracking and protection dogs. Don't believe me? Read for yourself.
