AHHH! RED Standard Poodles! YES! They are gorgeous indeed. With an Irish name like O'Shannon, seems like the redheads should rule the place, and I guess they do.
Mrs. O'Poodles also has TWO REDheaded grandchildren, Madison and Brody!

the STAR of O'Shannonville! His gentle laid

Kalee Rose Chillipepper...born April 2002 ...OFA Good
CeeCee O'Shannon...born April 2002
Chilli and CeeCee were daughters from Red Megan and Gus' second family and became permanent residents.
Chilli...pretty apricot couch potato.
She loved those couches, so Mrs. O'Poodles provided her with a summer couch outdoors.
Kalee-Rose Whogee Man...was Chilli's first and only
true love! They raised several families together...
...until the untimely and accidental death of Chilli's beloved Whogee Man.
Chilli has not been the same since, however she is dealing with it. That's probably why she is still a couch potato.
Chilli..dealing with it!
Chilli and Whogee had a beautiful son named Roley Rojo O'Shannon
They also had a daughter named Chickasaw Red O'Shannon aka Chica
Chica as a baby puppy
born May 2004
Chica, became a permanent resident of O'Shannonville as a wee pup and is an esteemed member of the family today.
Chica grew up and fell in love with Dasan
Since Chilli was now a widow and very lonely, she had no choice but to fall for the persistent (and annoying) attentions of Dasan!
So Chica and Mother Chilli shared the affections AND puppies of Dasan. ...not considered sick-o in dogworld, by most!
Some of Dasan's pups with
Chilli and Chica, always red and ususally BIG!
Horatio in Anderson, Calif.
(close to Redding), is producing some great Standard Poodles for Jim Thompson
Marquis...is in a Guardian home close to Mrs. O'Poodles and is intact and ready for romance.
Another "Rusty", and in a loving home in Colorado.
Cedar from New Mexico is a talented bird dog and holds AKC titles right along with the Labs and other Retreivers.
Big Red lives in New York
Another red brother looks like a therapy dog or a lapdog or both!
CeeCee O'Shannon (litter-mate to Chilli) also shared Dasan's affections, and Big Clifford is one of their sons.
CeeCee and Dasan's new family
Clifford, the Big Red Dog
Clifford came to live in O'Shannonville as a three year old and the resemblance between he and his Grandsire Gus Gus was uncanny!
After Dasan moved on, Clifford moved in...on the ladies!
He and Chica had a long-term romance that resulted in three litters of RED puppies...perhaps the best of Mrs. O'Poodles' Poodle Pack, yet!
After Dasan left however, Chica first found herself hanging out with The Patriarch Palmares Rusty (sire of Gus). well...one thing led to another and you know the story...PUPPIES! These were to be Old Rusty's last...
Rusty and Chica
Two great boys from their family are Rojo Rusty O'Shannon and Poco Rusty Red O'Shannon aka LIL Rusty.
Lil Rusty is a keeper and a LAP DOG.
He is a bit smaller than most O'Shannon Poodles weighing 47 lbs at 2 years old.
Poco Rusty Red O'Shannon dob 10/20 2007 OFA Good
Lil Rusty's brother Rojo, lived in O'Shannonville with his brother for the first two years.
It was decided to introduce Rojo to a sweet young Golden Retreiver named Bella who belonged to the Service Dog Organization known as "Canine Angels" in Southern Oregon.
Check out www.canine-angels.org for some great and uplifting news about how service dogs have changed the lives of handicapped kids and their families.
Of course it is a Non-profit org. so all donations are tax deductable and so very much appreciated and well used.
