My sister, Patrice, is crazy about Bouboulina. She has a miniture poodle now. 6 years old. She’s always had poodles but it would be her first standard. Bouboulina had a 2 month growth spurt but seems to have organized around this height and weight although I’m quite sure she’ll get somewhat bigger. She weighs just under 31 pounds now and is approx 21″ tall.
She’s beautifully proportioned and if I must say myself, the most popular dog in the neighborhood.

I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your father. Warm memories helped me through my grief and I hope you have the same.

Sending best happy wishes,
Tommy J

Here is a picture of Patrice with Affirmed. She bred and raced him and they were the closest of friends

Dear Katrina,
Elegance is lovely! She appears more mature than Bouboulina. Lighter in color as well.

I was wondering what number clipper blade you use on her body and what number on her face?

Also, Bouboulina’s coat appeared dry and brittle after her last shampoo/grooming. We suspect that the PH was too high for her. Also, her coat is thick and I was wondering if there was a mix of her puppy coat and mature coat?

What shampoo do you use on Elegance?

We had a little birthday party for Bouboulina on Dec 10th. I only have 2 photos but thought you’d like to see them;
The woman on the right in red is a dear friend who just adopted and saved a standard poodle from a puppy mill. It’s atrocious what they did to that dog. Cut it’s vocal cords so it can’t bark among other things. The young girl holding Bouboulina is a friend from the Phillipines who walks her on occassion.

Dear Katrina,
Congratulations! Beautiful puppies.

Thanks for sending the photos. I’d love updates if it’s not inconvenient.

Bouboulina is doing wonderfully! She gets better every day. Tonight there were fireworks in Central Park (I don’t know why?) and they were loud and colorful. Well, she stuck her head out the terrace door, to see what the commotion was all about, tail tucked between her legs, and quickly backed right back into the apt. She’s an adorable scaredy cat. She’s asleep now with her head on my bare feet as I type. She’s very affectionate.

She gets groomed next monday. I’ll send you some pictures then.

Hope all goes well with you and yours
Very best
Tommy J

Affirmed was owned, raced and bred by my sister and her husband’s Harbor View Farm. He was a truely great Race Horse.

My father, Hirsch Jacobs, was a well known horse trainer who owned quite a few top thoroughbreds (in my mother’s name) and was often America’s leading trainer. Here is a favorite photo of them leading Stymie into the winner’s circle. Oddly enough, it appeared on the cover of the newly published Texas Thoroughbred. Odd because none of our horses or family members have ever been in Texas.

This photo was taken after Stymie won the 1st International Gold Cup. 1947. He was retired as the leading money winner of all time.
