Hoyt was found by a traveling caravan of gypsies in 1987. He had been reared
by a pack of wolves from an early age, and therefore lacked certain
social skills and wasn't fully potty trained until the tender age of
seventeen. He joined the pack of gypsies to become their most
celebrated guinea pig tamer by the age of six. |
| By
the time Hoyt was twelve, his love moved on to dogs, specifically
poodles, specifically teeny tiny toy poodles. He had them jumping
through rings of fire only occasionally sending a tiny ball of flaming
poodle into the audience. After several unfortunate mishaps, Hoyt's
interest in poodles changed from dangerous feats of flaming fur to
daring poofy poodle cuts. The late teens are somewhat of a mystery, but
rumors abound of Hoyt working in Vegas shows while grooming dogs on the
side are common. All we know is that at the age of eighteen, destitute
and dirty, Hoyt showed up on the front door step of the Blue Poodle
begging for a job. Barbara graciously accepted his request and took him
in under her wing. Seeing that his love of poodles remained, she began
shaping him into the standard poodle grooming master that he is today. |
