Grooming Your Poodle

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 Handsome Devil Vader

Vader is in the process of being trained to be Titus’ new Service Dog. He now knows how to behave in public, open handicapped doors, retrieve medication, open cabinets and close them, collect all his toys and put them away, go get help and much more. What a dog! After Jojo died suddenly, Titus found himself without a companion and friend to help him cope with anxiety which is a seizure trigger for him. We kept a pup from one of Jojo’s litters and a bond just didn’t happen. He seems to be a Male dog owner, that pup was a female. After spending a day with Vader, it was definitely obvious that they had a bond and a future together.

Vader is a very smart and loyal boy. Vader is a happy go lucky goofball of a dog, yet he is a very smart boy and eager to please. He is 11 months at the moment and doing very well with his obedience and focus and is learning tasks that will help Titus as he grows older and becomes more independent.

Vader is Blue, and his genetics carry Silvers, White, and Blues. He is going to be a tall, big boy, with a sturdy yet lean frame. I look forward to not only watching him grow but observing Titus and Vader grow together. Vader has a lovely coat that rarely matts or knots up which is a surprise to me since he is a very active boy outside. He has an off button inside which is very nice.

All his Genetic Testing is below…..he passed them all….of course.
