Grooming Your Poodle

Above Photo: SCSPoodle Home Grooming Class – What fun!

Grooming your Standard Poodle can be very challenging when you first start out. You must accept that your dog will not look perfect at all times, and you will tragically butcher your dog at least once. Its OK you just start over next time! Move on. Grooming will strengthen the bond you have with your dog, and also teach them that when you want them to stand still for a few hours …. you expect just that! You will also bond with your dog because it requires trust and respect for your dog to cooperate and let you put them in …. well…. challenging positions while you clip them. You are also able to spot health issues that may come up and be hidden under a thick coat…lumps and bumps are noticed and you are able to manage them quickly.

Above all else…. enjoy and don’t take yourself too seriously. Have fun, look up new cuts and experiment.

If you need any tips or have any suggestions, please feel free to reach out to us on Facebook “Springer Clan Standard Poodles” or email “SCSPpoodles@gmail.com” . We love to hear from you all! And please send us some photos of your successes and of course your failures… they are the best!

SCSPoodles has finally come up with a list of all the items anyone would need to begin to start home grooming.

Have Fun!!

Springer Clans Barrett Jamison Lyon “BEAR”

Bear lives with his Foster Family here is Surprise, AZ. He is a Red Standard Poodle with Liver points (brown nose and skin) This means that he carries for Brown and for Red which is a fun mix to have in a litter.

Below is a description of Bear from his Foster Family:

“Springer Clans Barrett Jameson Lyon aka “Bear” is a gentle giant with a one of a kind spirit like his Mama Ember (Hazel). Bear is an absolute nut about his time with you making sure he has balls and you, that is all this boy needs. He is very active and loves to please but also is able to calm himself in order to be a comfort to his family and his natural instinct to do both. He’s VERY intelligent brilliant yet curious, enough that he’s eager to always learn even in new environments and is always a gentleman. He picks up new commands easily and is often used as a model student in his current training classes by his class trainer. He makes a lot of furry friends and humans jealous because of all the attention he gets. Our hope is to fully certify him as a service animals for our girls. He is a lover not fighter however, as his mama (both Hazel and his human one) he also can be fierce and stubborn especially when it comes to wanting his cuddles, love and his BALLS. He truly is one of a kind and honestly has natural abilities both intellectually yet talented physically. He turns heads everywhere we go. The compliments on his physic and color are endless. Again he’s the best of both worlds when it comes to a dog. But then again he’s not a dog…. He’s a POODLE “
