Chipper is a Yorkie-Poo, and his mother was Peaches, a little apricot and cream poodle. Her tail was clipped very short (when we got her it was that way), and she had short little legs and a round little body; so all in all , Peaches looked like a teeny-tiny sheep.
She was incredibly intelligent, and I am sure that is where most of Chipper's intelligence level came from.
Peaches would sometimes even try to talk and say actual words.
When she wanted a drink, and I would be busy on the computer, she would come and sit in the doorway and say "waa-waa" to me.
If I ignored her, she would take her little paw and scrape the side of the door jamb, and say it again, a little bit louder.
Finally, I would ask her, "Do you want a drink of water, Peaches ?", and she would cock her little head sideways at me like she wondered why it took so long for me to undertand plain English.
Then she would spin in circles and run into the kitchen for her drink of water.
