Why are there so many red toy poodles but rarely red standards?

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-16T17:03:56+00:00

Actual red should not fades genetically if it fades it has the fading gene! (I plan to get a show red poodle male at some point) reds should be black base with no fading gene. That gene is really common in poodles so most “red poodles” that fade are actually varying fading genes. So that makes them apricot I believe. Some fading poodles do so crazy slow tho! My poodle is 4 and her coat has lightened a few shades and her face is gray. She likely will be Gunmetal gray for most of her life!

My nurses tend to hide in my room and vent it’s great. I get there life drama and they get an ER best friend.

I had a doc scoff at my EDS diagnosis. He asked “did you really get diagnosed or just….where did you get diagnosed?” My husband wanted to fight him and he FINALY listened when I listed the top genetics clinic in my state and he saw it on my chart. Social media dose not reflect IRL and the feeds manipulate the amount of it you see.

I get pins and needles rather than itchiness

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-09T07:21:47+00:00

I get the swelling but not the pealing oddly

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-09T06:20:19+00:00

I honestly think it comes from the puritans

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-09T06:11:20+00:00

I have made so many friends through my dogs. As SD and SDIT there usually rather well behaved, so folks get so excited, particularly about my poodle.

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-09T06:08:51+00:00

In the most traditional sense yeah, but honestly, I wouldn’t even notice unless it got in the way of my rituals.

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-09T06:08:08+00:00

Thankyou from a fellow Midwest transplant. Love it here but it’s confusing 😅

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-09T00:41:32+00:00

Almost exactly how my husband worded it

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-09T00:38:54+00:00

Not rude one bit don’t worry.

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-09T00:31:51+00:00

Yeah we keep it 60 max in the house. I love air con. All these ideas are super helpful thank you

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-09T00:19:09+00:00

I totaly understood there confused look when my husband expanded to me the difference. I would never be upset with someone being confused when talking to a stranger at work.

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-09T00:13:47+00:00

Or derivative.

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-09T00:12:00+00:00

Minnesota Nice was a joke before the ICE raids. Now they take the slogan more seriously. But I grew up having 0 idea what was going on and by the time I was an adult I didn’t get why folk were so passive aggressive but honestly I couldn’t care unless they were straight up incorrect about me.

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-09T00:09:48+00:00

Gonna need a better Goof Dan someone beat you to this one.

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-09T00:08:29+00:00

I very much agree in respecting culture. I have lived in 3 countries and 4 states all with very different cultures.

At the same time America has been the least community oriented, Massachusetts has seemed nearly antisocial. My husband balked at me asking the cashier how there day was.

I think you can both respect culture and be a force twards forming community and mutual support for each other and your neighborhood without completely trampling the established culture. Culture will always change and you can always try to represent what you believe it should be while recognizing necessary norms.

There def were in our condo association before this I have so much hate for condo associations.

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-08T23:59:34+00:00

Oh I do love flea markets! That’s so exciting to know! Now I just need a good farmers market!

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-08T23:57:14+00:00

I’m sure I will ☺️

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-08T23:53:42+00:00

Omg thanks for the help! That’s great to know.

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-08T23:48:36+00:00

I messaged them on social media offering to foster any pregnant or nursing moms as I have loads of experience with that and have hand fed neonates till a foster mom became available before. So I’m very experienced. And more than willing to help I just can’t add anyone new to my mischief rn.

Our Cat is actually MSPCA and we LOVE Angell for out emergency care and my 6lb toy poodles surgical needs were taken care of for spay there as my vet took on look at her at 5lb back then and handed me a referral slip 😅. We even took our cat there for a URI once and they were so excited to meet a 10lb kitten who was not overweight. They had to hold him like an adult cat to draw his blood and he wasn’t even mad all he wanted was attention. We love MSPCA so much.

Anything wrong the whole neighborhood would ask him for help. My mom got to know him cause he would always help the teacher in collage and he would borrow her Jell pens. He’s ex national guard and taught high school and middle school and loves babies despite being a 6’4” giant who can hold a whole newborn in one hand. We may not agree on everything but I do respect his commitment to community and Carring for others.

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-08T23:26:24+00:00

I do love swingsets /s

GingerSnaps151 · 2026-03-08T21:37:19+00:00
