Hey all,
I am brand new to the site (and brand new to the poodle world in general). I just put down a deposit on a 4 week old black male standard (of course I don't get him for another 4 weeks). I chose the breed because of my allergies and then all the wonderful things I've heard about the breed as a whole (their temperament and intelligence).
As far as grooming, I am a single guy and will not be grooming my poodle in the traditional show cut. I intend on keeping the fur pretty much all the same length, with the face short but not shaved down, the paws not shaved down, no "puffs" on the head, no longer hair on the ears, you get the point. Does anyone else have their poodle styled in this more "masculine" look, and can you post pics? Any recommendations from like-minded poodle owners?
