Melanie Travis Mysteries, Part 1-The Basics Quiz

Answer: No

No, only her Aunt Peg has dogs. Melanie acquires her dog, Faith, after she "rescues" Aunt Peg's Standard Poodle, Beau.

Answer: Cedar Crest

Aunt Peg's poodle kennel is called "Cedar Crest." She breeds, shows and trains all of her own dogs.

Answer: Standard Poodles

They have black Standard Poodles. There is no such breed as a teacup poodle.

Answer: Black

Definitely black! Poodles can come in many colors, though, ranging from white to cream to black.

Answer: Davey

If you chose "Davey," congratulations! In the beginning of the series, Davey starts out being four years of age.

Answer: Obedience

As she told her Aunt Peg, she will not do agility because her aunt is doing it. Poodles were originally bred for retrieving birds from the cold water, so a field trial would not be out of the question, although highly unlikely.

Answer: Bob

So far, he's remarried, got divorced, and moved back into town. Melanie never got to meet his second wife, though.

Answer: Elysian Eve

Melanie registered her as "Elysian Eve." Cedar Crest Leap of Faith is her dam. Faith, as she's called, can also add the highly coveted "Ch" in front of her name, as she's a champion.

Answer: True

In "Raining Cats and Dogs," we find out via a new neighbor's cats that Melanie's allergic to them. Unfortunately for her, Davey brought them all (all 7) in to meet and greet the five poodles living in the house.

Answer: yes

Yes, they do! And Sam and his three standard poodles, including Eve's litter mate "Tar," move into Melanie and Davey's house.
