Poodle Party

Poodle Parties at the Friedman's

Scot and Lisa Friedman along with Ruben, a pup from our Jazz and Max's first litter together, have hosted poodle parties for Raspberry Woods puppies that live within driving distance. Pictures from their first 2009 party are featured on the Sharing the Fun page under Jazz's December litter of 2008. This party has become an anual event and below you will find pictures from the parties from 2010 to the present year. Each year, we travel to their lake property near Eaton, Ohio taking all of our poodles and we get to see many of their offspring who join the party. It is always lots of fun, and we are all very thankful to the Friedman's for opening their beautiful lake property to us all! (Scroll down to see pictures from the parties held since 2010)

"Welcome to my lake house!" Ruben was the poodle host of the party.

All wait patiently for their party treats from Bill.

Tom and Scot take Ruben, Max, and Cedar for a ride!

Nellie is fast and determined at water retrieving. Lou, you might want to get her in competition!

Our three gorgeous female swimmers catch some rays on the dock!

Leo was the youngest of the six poodles. He is from Jazz and Max's last litter and is 9 months old in this picture. This is his first time to swim, and he is doing great!

Ruben even takes Cedar, Jazz, and Max for a ride in his 1966 red Pontiac convertable! "Hey Scot! We need the keys, please!"

Sorry, Lisa. I couldn't resist putting up this almost perfect butt shot.

Jazz spendsa lot of time swimming and looking for fish. She spends hours in our pond at home looking for fish and has caught one so far!

Enjoying my puppies!

In the evening, Scot and Lisa took us for a pontoon ride around the lake. Everyone, person or poodle, enjoyed this relaxing ride.

Jazz and Max watch as we pass some ducks.

Lou, and his best friend, Nellie!

Cedar loved this boat ride; a great way to end this exciting day!

No, this is not a poodle! Cute little Sukie might have been out-numbered, but she could hide in or get through places that those big poodles could not!

This year, Ruben was the perfect host again, taking his guests on a ride in his motorcycle and side car.

Cooling off on this hot August day! The poodles swim to the rafts, where they can rest for a few minutes.

6 month old Ruskin attended his first poodle party!

Gracie

Lou's Nellie spent lots of time retrieving. She is so good at it and fast as well!

Time for Lisa's delicious liver brownies!

Scot really knows how to grill hamburgers! Thanks, Scot!

Lou and his amazing Nellie!

Max enjoys the ride stretched out on the back seat.

Poodles and their families started arriving around 1:00. These pictures show Jazz, Gracie, Cedar, Charlie, Gus, Nellie, Ruben, and the back half of Max.

"Here they all come again!" Ruben is a gracious host, sharing his territory with all of his sisters, brothers and parents.

Leo and Ruben getting to know each other again.

Charlie's first time at the party at 8 months of age.

Nellie jumps to retrieve her frisbee! She is so good at retrieving in the water!

Treat time! Jan and Lisa both had hand made doggie treats for the poodles to reward them for such a good job swimming and getting along!

Everyone brought delicious dishes to share and Lisa and Scot grilled their juicy, all grass-fed beef hamburgers. After dinner, most were able to stay for the boat ride. The dogs love this part of the day, and so do we!

It was a fun day! Thanks again to Scot and Lisa for sharing their lake property with us all!
