A summer garden party for the four-legged members of the Unique Estates team and their ladies.

We are Jack, Rufy, Gilda, Pablo and Luca. All five of us are original and purebred brown poodles. Our breed was selected in Germany. We had to go hunting with our masters and carry the ducks we shot, so our name means "puddle". Frankly, we feel much more French because we were the darlings of the French kings and spent our time in ballrooms, around golden thrones, and in beautiful green parks. Nowadays we don't go hunting, we prefer to have people who love us, play with us, and arrange elegant entertainment for us. We are relaxed and adapt easily - if our person feels like walking, we walk with them, but if they want to relax on the sofa and have a quiet glass of champagne, we sit next to them and enjoy it. We never assault people - we see how busy they are and how they are always in a hurry and we just look to bring smiles. As you can see though, life for our poodle team is truly royal because we are all lady lovers who know how to give us pleasure like this poodle garden party. We meet often as they are all part of the Unique Estates team, so we can proudly call ourselves Unique Estates Poodles.
Let us introduce you to our ladies. Rufy, who is kind of our captain because he was the first one to join the agency family, joins Vesela Ilieva, managing partner of Unique Estates. He is four years old and is a Taurus. Calm and kind, Rufy is in love with Vesela and would accompany her anywhere if he could. His kind nature and beautiful posture have inspired other ladies to also adopt members of our breed. Thank you, Ruff!
Jack is the biggest and lightest-bearded among us. He's a big good boy, but if you take something from him without asking, he gets angry and growls. But he gets over it quickly. That would be his zodiac sign - he's a Virgo. His lady has had the privilege of looking after him for four whole years now. She's the chief of staff to the managing partner of Unique Estates and her name is Christina Tsvetanova.
The only girl in our group is Gilda. Her "mother" is arch. Viki Ilieva, who is the creative director of VIArchitects. To our mutual joy, Jilda and Vicky have a lovely house with a green garden where we gather for games, sweets, and champagne. Gilda is an Aries which means she is a poodle with a temper especially when one of us guys starts flirting with her. She has taught us never to take food from the table even when they let us get on it to take pictures.
Luka lives in the home of Unique Estates' Operations Director Svetoslava Georgieva. He is very proud that you featured his home in the last issue of the magazine. He has chosen to have his bed in the entrance hall so that he has a view of all the rooms in the apartment and knows who is available for cuddles and drooling when. Because, like Rufy and Luke, he is a downtown Sofian, he has friends in the Doctor's Garden where he usually hangs out. He enjoys the fun more with us though. At this summer garden gathering he got tired of playing and on the way back home immediately fell asleep in the car.
Pablo is also a big sweetheart - he's the "dark-haired" one on our team. He is always ready to receive commands and entertain people. If he sees grass and space, he runs around and enjoys it, hangs out with everyone, and only occasionally poops, but it's for the party. Pablo, on the other hand, has Gabriela Bogdanina who takes care of him. She is a team leader at Unique Estates. Finally, let us let you in on another secret why our breed is so preferred - besides being great family friends, we have a special coat that doesn't shed. That's why we're allowed to nap next to our humans on their couches, and they even sometimes let us snuggle in their beds. That last one, however, let's keep between us...
We wish you a wonderful summer and if you have pets, we allow you to use our photos as inspiration to arrange similar entertainment for them. We promise it will be unforgettable not only for them but for you too!
