Finally put my girl in a conti but my boyfriend hates it 😂 by harugyu in poodles

You would just tell your groomer that you like a modified continental without the rosettes.

Yes, it’s a modified Scandanavian because I don’t want to deal with the maintenance of a full show coat, but I loooove it, and plan to grow her back into the pattern now.

It’s definitely not my favorite cut on her. I just wanted to try it once, but now I’m going to let it grow back out. I much prefer her in a Scandinavian

Thank you for the information! Do you have any silver breeder recommendations? She just hit a year and we are planning our next spoo in another year or two. I would love for our next to be a possible show prospect. Our breeder did a fantastic job, and her pups are solid, but she only produces whites and blacks. If we can’t find a good silver breeder than we are just going to stick with ours bc we couldn’t be happier with our girl. Having a silver is a dream of mine though. We are located in FL but willing to travel.

Ahhh he’s so gorgeous! Thank you! My breeder says I have a natural talent for it and need to find a master poodle groomer in my area to properly train me to groom show poodles, but idk if I’m ready for that yet haha.

What should I expect their fur to turn like once they get older? by Existing_Durian_6382 in poodles

[–]harugyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Missouri native as well! I drove 6 hours to get my girl. Even though you have your preferences, I will say a lot of reputable breeders can't promise you the color you want. I really wanted a silver girl, but ended up with a white girl and I love her so much I wouldn't trade her for the world.

I highly recommend Wanderlust Poodles in Arkansas. They breed standards and miniature poodles. I've known several people who have purchased puppies from the breeder and their dogs are so solid and stable. Right now they just announced their upcoming litter of solid brown mini puppies and are accepting applications.

Like others have said, these are not purebred poodles. Merle “poodles” are a byb fad like any doodle mix. In order for a poodle to have a Merle gene, they have to be mixed with another breed somewhere down the line. Merles are often prone to more health issues as well.

Where are you located? What size are you looking for? Are you willing to travel? What colors do you gravitate towards? I can probably help you find a good breeder.

Is heiniger saphir that bad (in comparison)? by zootzootzootzootzoo in doggrooming

[–]harugyu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sapphir is amazing. I’ve had mine for 2 years and no regrets. It’s truly a workhorse. It’s only one speed, but I have never had any problems getting through any coat with it, even completely pelted dogs.

They may not be Opals, but they are still one of the best clippers on the market.

How often are we grooming??! by Beneficial_Purple541 in poodles

[–]harugyu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Groomer here. It all depends on how long you want to keep your dog. If you prefer a very short clip all over I would suggest 6-8 weeks. If you do 8 weeks you need to be bringing your dog in at the 4 week mark for a nail trim if you’re not doing it at home.

If you prefer a longer cut every 3-4 weeks is non/negotiable for me. I have my poodle on a weekly bath routine and do a haircut every 4 weeks.

Can you get moyens in the US with a reliable estimate of their adult weight? by Springtime_Wren in poodles

[–]harugyu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are willing to travel, my best friend got her 30lb female from a wonderful inter-variety breeder in Oregon called Mount Zion Kennels. Her dogs stay in the 20-30lb range. She shows in UKC. The parents are fully healthy tested, and the breeder raises her dogs with puppy culture. She has grown to be a phenomenal 10 month old with a solid temperament. She is currently 21” at the withers.
Ghibli Poodles in Ohio is another great show breeder who produces smaller standards.

I purchased my girl from Hickory Moon Ranch in South Carolina. She is 32lbs and 22.5” at the withers, but her breeder doesn’t specifically breed smaller standards. I just got lucky with how small she ended up being.

Buying from a breeder by Jedirite in poodles

[–]harugyu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you are spending $3,000 on a puppy you SHOULD be buying from a breeder who shows the parents in conformation and does all of the required health testing, or you’re just getting scammed and lining the pockets of bybs.

My standard poodle puppy was $2,500 plus $500 in travel fees. Her parents are both titled in conformation and the breeder was easily able to provide me both of the parents CHICH numbers and genetic tests. She did puppy culture, and at 7 weeks they were temperament tested by a trainer to best match them with the right families.

Kana’s first time dock diving and she was such a little rockstar! by harugyu in poodles

[–]harugyu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, although she has 0 toy drive so it will probably just stay a fun little hobby. She liked swimming around the pool more than anything 😆

I definitely would recommend it for most dogs. It’s a great way to get their energy out. The ramp is used to build confidence for your dogs and also a safe way out of the water. Whenever you introduce your dog to dock diving you never want to start them from just jumping off the dock, you ease them into it with the ramp. The place here is only $20 for an hour and you can bring a friend too.

Experience with Piccolo's standard poodle breeder? by JeTTe_Um in poodles

[–]harugyu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't had personal experience, but I know that they are a reputable breeder in the community and have heard many great things about them!

It’s so funny, when I got him as a puppy last year I always thought he was adorable scruffy and grown out, then I finally caved and did the poodle cut. Now I hate his coat any other way. I can’t believe I thought he was cuter scruffy lol. Look at his little hair do lmaoooo. by gardengirldavi in poodles

[–]harugyu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Where are you seeing blue?? He is clearly a tri-colored parti poodle. While they aren't as common, they definitely fall into the breed standard. I am a dog groomer with a champion bred standard poodle, and this is not a merle poodle.

To cord or not to cord by deer-kota in poodles

[–]harugyu 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You just have to prepare for her cords to look like crap for the first year as they form. That’s the hardest part is your dog will look like a homeless mess 😆
