Grooming your poodle is often fun and entertaining for both you and the poodle. (It’s also a nightmare for without having the proper equipment and
practice!!) Using site above, you will discover recommendations on choosing the correct equipment, Different Grooming styles, and tips & photos on home grooming.

There are several strategies to groom your poodle. You will find the show trims plus the pet trims. Only three trims are allowed in the conformation show ring but
you could have them trimmed almost any way for obedience, (the exceptions being some specialty obedience shows).

Although as a breeder I get a great appreciation for your show trim it seems rather unusual to many people. The show trim is equipped with a brief history from the breed.
Standard Poodles were originally bred as water retrievers. The long “lion mane” principal purpose is to help keep the dogs vital organs warm once they swam in cold water. The puffs about the feet would keep joints warm, the puff on the tail this means you often see your new puppy as it was swimming within the water. What’s left was shaved to prevent him from getting water logged also to prevent sticks from catching within the hair.
