GROOMING YOUR STANDARD POODLE DOG AT HOME

Dear Jacki,

I have read your advice on grooming and learned so much. Your experience and guidance is always clear and professionally presented.
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions.
I love your website. I began looking at your site while I was waiting for my girl to be born, and I have found it extremely informative. Poodles, standards in particular, are such a great and versatile breed but good mentoring is a definite requirement for the neophyte. Which I am.
One of the first things I learned and implemented was – and I can’t remember what you all it – laying her down on her back between my legs and getting her accustomed to being handled. What a valuable lesson. Not only is she agreeable to the grooming process, she earned her Canine Good Citizen title at 9 months old. Being handled is the hardest thing for puppies to calmly accept.
Your generosity is very much appreciated.
Thanks again,
LC

Jett Doing Well

Site Administrator — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 15:02:34 +0000

Hi Jacki,
I am the owner of one of your puppies from the litter Natalie had in the summer of 2001. I do not know if your recall the black puppy we named Jett. He is now nine years old and doing very well. People can't believe he is nine years old. He is still a happy playful poodle. He is such a great dog, and we love him very much. I was wondering if Natalie is still with you. I remember her being such a good mother to her puppies.
I hope you and all your poodles are doing well.
Nina

Little Ella Goes to NASA

Site Administrator — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 20:42:18 +0000

A note from Kathy, Little Ella the Standard Poodle Puppy in training at NASA :

Just wanted to let you know that tomorrow is Ella's first day at
"work". I want to do this "just right", so I have been giving it a lot of
thought. Wish us luck!!

NASA (where I work) is on Edwards Air Force Base, and I was aware that they
have a therapy dog there. I called the guy who owns him and he brought the
dog over for me to meet on Friday. We talked a long time and he said I can
bring Ella over any time to go around and get "socialized". At least the
people over there that he knows are accustomed to the energy needed to be
around these dogs. I will probably have to train the people at NASA more
than I will have to train Ella!!

Colors in Standard Poodles

Site Administrator — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 18:56:59 +0000

I do not recommend purchasing a Standard Poodle based on color.

Here's the run down on color associated characteristics:

Black or white are the most stable and outgoing in the breed.

Blue and silvers are a bit reserved although sweet

Browns are know as the "clowns in the breed" as they tend to be more active

Reds and apricots are sweet but can be harder to train, a bit goofy, very loving though

Party Poodles are not as developed as they have been ignored by the educated breeders due to the fact they are not recognize on the AKC Show Ring. However in recent years some of the good breeders have taken an interest and are trying to bring them into being the elegant dogs we see in the other colors.

The blacks and whites have had most of the attention by knowledgeable breeders so they tend to be more sophisticated in temperament and refined in appearance.

Picking your Standard Poodle Puppy Out

Site Administrator — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 19:05:59 +0000

When picking a Poodle Puppy remember that the puppy who hangs in the back of the pack or seems timid when approached will be the puppy that grows to be a very sweet, mild and loving adult. These puppies will be easier puppies to get through the 6 month to 1 1/2 year stage of life as they will not be as rambunctious and as full of mischief as their more outgoing, at a young age, litter mates.

Often times people mistake these puppies as being "shy" but with the right guidance these are the puppies that make the best companions for those who are not inclined to many rigorous outdoor activities. Which is not to say that puppies with this sweet nature should not be taken out to socialize.

These are the "let's go to the Mall" puppies where as the more inquisitive puppies are more likely to say, "let's go to the river, jump in the water, run up the hill, then counter surf with muddy paws"!

Poodle Tails

Site Administrator — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 17:26:45 +0000

Some lines produce what is called a "Gay" or "Rune" Tail, meaning they lay over the back of the Poodle. As the Poodle gets older some will relax and be somewhat straighter, it depends on how "Gay" the tail is to begin with.

My own viewpoint is that when we started docking the tails longer we started seeing more of this phenomenon.

The show ring hated the Gay Tail at first but now is being more forgiving, depending on the judge Both Stanzi and Touche' are donning Gay Tails. We think they are very cute and Poodley.

Cherri’s & Stanzi’s Turn

Site Administrator — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 19:15:11 +0000

Cherri’s turn to get a bath today. Stanzi too will be bathed and rebanded (top knot and mane protection). Our show Poodles have to be banded every other day and bathed at least once a week. The Poodles love to come to the PoodleTown Tavern to have their hair done. They get to stay in the office until it’s time for them to be groomed. Cherri’s show relaunch is scheduled for January 2010. She’s matured and is more beautiful than ever.

Ella and Her Poodle Pups

Site Administrator — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 23:20:40 +0000

My husband Don loves to sing to our Standard Poodles. Ella and her puppies really enjoy his soothing serenade while spending time in their playpen in the middle of our living room. We know having a bunch of puppies in the living room isn't a lifestyle that everyone could enjoy but it really works for us. Ella is so precious with her pack of gorgeous pups. She teaches them their first lessons in manners. Not all Poodle Moms do this with their puppies. Ella is special and so are her puppies because of her influence on them.

Landscaping for Your Poodles

Site Administrator — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 17:23:32 +0000

When we first purchased Admiration Ranch back in 2006, we knew we would needed to do some fixing up to make it Poodle-friendly. It just comes with the territory of Poodle Ownership.

We laid 3/4″ pea gravel on our 2,000 foot driveway that was perfect for then to romp on and do their business.

We had to remove some pampas grass patches that they liked to rub against, which cut their hair in the process.

Back in the early 00’s we had to do quite a few modifications in our Anaheim home, particularly in the back yard. We laid concrete and molded the property to conform to our Poodles’ lifestyle and habits.

Dogs will dig and they will get into all kinds of situations.

Here’s a great story from Rick and Carol Driver, who obtained a couple of sister Poodles from us, Kona Cali. They actually had their story published in the Arizona Daily Star. You can see it here at this link: http://tinyurl.com/poodle-landscape
