About Marvels

Marvels is The Quintessential Poodle (true to breed in behavior and form). Add that to his *royal size and you have a real show stopper! 

All royal poodles are standard poodles. The term “Royal” is intended to infer an extra large size

Royal Standard Poodle Pictures

When I think about Marvels, it amazes me how adaptable he is. He can be athletic or cuddly, hilarious or serious, goofy or handsome (he knows when he looks good) -all according to whatever environment he finds himself in.  Adaptability is the hallmark of a good dog and I like that about him. He reminds me to live in the moment. To live joyously, live authentically and live generously. The rest will take care of itself.   

The photos below show it well...
