Seattle Poodles specializes in breeding quality black and chocolate miniature poodles for families to love.
While Lady Espresso is a black miniature poodle, she carries a chocolate gene and has had a few chocolate puppies in her latest litters.Lady Espresso and her pups, Lady Mocha and Sir Biscotti (our stud), have become somewhat notorious in the Seattle area as Bob pulls up to the drive-thru Starbucks in our area to buy our coffee drinks. Now he is frequently asked, "Are these the three coffee dogs?, or "Are these those coffee poodles?"
It all started back in the early 80's when Val named her poodle "Cappuccino". He was a very light brown color with a white tummy and reminded Val of the Cappuccinos she had enjoyed in San Francisco on a business trip. We purchased a beautiful black female poodle to be a companion for Cappuccino and named her "Espresso." When they had their first litter of puppies the coffee names began. After our beloved Espresso passed away at 15 years of age, we purchased a jet black puppy and named her "Lady Espresso of Angle Lake" and the coffee names continued. We kept Mocha and Biscotti from her first litter. Now with the abundance of coffee drinks available, picking names is a lot easier and more fun. We named two puppies from the second litter (2006) "Macchiato" and "Frappuccino," and their new owners decided to keep the names.
From Spressi's last litter (2007), two pups were named "Raspberry Mocha" and "Chai" by their owners. Will be interesting to see if any coffee names are chosen for her 2008
summer litter. We just learned that one of the puppies Biscotti recently fathered was named "Java".
