Lady Espresso of Angle Lake was the smartest and most beautiful
female poodle we've ever seen with long eyelashes and very expressive eyes. She tried to talk, had an outstanding personality, loved children,
and was a wonderful mother and grandmother. Her puppies were all beautiful, loving and smart.
We knew she was special right from the start. She listened to everything we said and tried to understand.She had four perfect litters of puppies before we decided it was time to give her a rest and retire her, and she never stopped being our baby.
Spressi's last litter was on May 29, 2008 when she gave birth to five beautiful jet black babies (2 females and 3 males). One went to a couple who purchased one of the puppies from Spressi's first litter and wanted a second. We kept the two females to continue our wonderful line of puppies. We believe Spressi had the best poodle puppies and wanted to continue her wonderful line. Sir Biscotti and Sir Chocolate Chip also fathered litters of puppies as studs.
The stud's name for the first litter was
Hotshot. Doesn't he look like Mocha and Biscotti?
? ! ? Guess which ones are Mocha and Biscotti ? ! ? (Scroll down to the bottom to see)
Below are adult pictures of Spressi's first litter (left to right): Sir Biscotti, Lady Mocha, Lady Brooklyn and Sir Johann (Colorado).
Val's mom bred and raised miniature poodles, so Val has been around poodles and poodle puppies practically her whole life.
She has many happy memories of playing with poodle puppies as a child and training the family poodles.
Like many who are attracted to the poodle breed, Val grew up with severe pet allergies, and poodles were the only dog she could be around. Val naturally began breeding her poodles after she got married. The puppies from Val's first litters in West Seattle mostly went to family members.
Though Bob didn't grow up around dogs, he quickly became a poodle lover after becoming attached to the poodle Val had when they met (Cappuccino). We got a girlfriend for Cino named Val's Espresso and began breeding them. Bob fell in love with the poodles and their puppies. If it were up to Bob we would have a poodle puppy (or two) from each litter. And they would all sleep on our bed. : )
Spressi, Mocha and Biscotti used to accompany Bob all over town as he did errands. As you might imagine, the poodles were quite popular at Starbucks.
Okay, here's the answer to who's who in the puppy picture above (left to right): Mocha, Johann, Brooklyn & Biscotti
