Hello,
I'm a pet groomer who finally bought a poddle puppy this year. I don't have a lot of poodle clients to practice on, but I do have a standard poodle client come in about every 2 weeks in a long kennel cut. I'm not that great at it still, but I'm brave enough to try a show coat on my dog.
I got a miniature out of AKC CH'd parents. He's big, so I will probably only get one chance to show him as a puppy at 7 months old. After that, I'll just be grooming him for my ego so I can use all the wiggies I want, lol.
Seems like every time I have a question and search online I come to this site - and the answers and advice are great! So decided time to join in the fun and start learning more about taking care of my dog's coat.
