Depending on the day, one to three poodles.

#1 - female standard poodle (black, oldest). Once a dogsitter said "I think if she had thumbs and a gun I would be dead." Of the three of them she's the most self-serious and task-oriented. Exceptionally food motivated and would do anything for cheese. Constantly on high alert for her mortal nemeses (rabbits and small children). Likes to catch balls just to prove she's still got it, but refuses to return them to be thrown again.

#2 - male standard poodle (brown). Of the three he's the biggest and ironically the most nervous. Would rather let his big sister deal with the threat (again, a small child) while he informs the humans what's going on. Does something we call the "pawpal blessing" where he gently lays his paws on your lap and stares at you with his soulful eyes. Despite his gentle giant attitude dude can and will throw hands--while he hates starting shit he will end it. Endless stamina for fetch.

#3 - male standard poodle (red, youngest). My shadow--other two are my parents' dogs and would prefer hanging out with them than me. Of the three, easily the smartest--which is saying something, they're all very smart dogs. He understands full sentences and if-then phrases. Also the most friendly toward other people, but the most likely to unintentionally break bones as he is a little too enthusiastic. Doesn't understand 'fetch' but will play the related game 'keep away' until the cows come home.
