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.
   
Kayla has worked at the Blue poodle for a little over a year. Her love of animals made dog grooming an ideal profession to pursue. She is a groomer of various breeds.
