@@MyAnimalAddiction the coat is so hard to maintain because of its density once it gets a bit longer! My girl looks like the before at the moment and it takes so much time to brush out, that's why the shorter cuts are easier
I grew up in a household where we bred standard poodles. They are BRILLIANT dogs. Don't underestimate one. And don't underestimate how cute they are in a puppy cut instead of that absurd fancy shave. A house poodle is adorable! Our breeding lass was an absolute diva. If she got her paws wet outside, or, gods forbid SNOWY, she would immediately run to the bathroom, hop in the tub, and wait for a human to come wash her feet clean.
My old groomer had poodles and they had puppies once. Literally the cutest little sheepy dog I ever held in my life. They so intelligent and sweet too!
"Tontu is a complete angel!" Wow, They really do crossbreed poodles with everything! Also. You should Sweep all the hair into piles and put googly eyes on them for the after shot.
I'm here for the poodle love. Everybody wants a doodle but doesn't want a poodle because of their undeserved reputation. But they are SO smart and loving, and you can give them a cut to fit whatever look you're going for. And their coats are easier to manage than a doodle coat imo.
Yes they are my sisters black toy poodle “Lily” would …no shit… play hide and seek with her! You would had to be there to see and believe it,so Smart and loving too!!
As a breeder that scrictly follows the code of ethics, thank you for talking about researching your breeder. Puppy mills are terrible places. Please always purchase your animals from reputable breeders. Purpose bred dogs are healthier, steadier and more likely to be healthy, happy animals.

Had a mini poodle for 18 years, I'm 20. He was my absolute best friend, amazingly intelligent, well mannered, and easily trained. I miss him every day. Poodles are great and I am BIASED!! LOL ❤️
Yeah I remember when I was a kid and thought poodles weren't even "real" dogs (as in dog-like), thanks to poodles shown in cartoons and movies. As an example in the movie 'Look Who's Talking Now' they made the poodle an annoying fancy girl who didn't like the mutt in the family. As a girl who loved dogs I didn't consider them very dog-like. Thanks to exposure later in life, I've learned what awesome dogs they are. The intelligence and temperament is hardly ever short from wonderful. Maybe being a French breed they got some bad press due to politics and it stuck to our subconscious? I'm from Finland but consumed a lot of media from USA and UK through tv as a kid.
You've converted me. I've never really considered poodles an interesting breed but I can appreciate them now. I think he was rather handsome before the shave but I can see the benefits of maintaining his coat like that. He looked like he was having fun the whole time. His pet parents must be very proud of how well behaved he is.
It should also be noted that poodles can be pretty tough to train, entirely because they're smart and strong-willed. In some respects, they're more like cats than dogs. lol
@@gyppygirl2021 When I see a well-behaved poodle, it makes me happy because it means they respect the dog as the smart and energetic breed that he/she is, instead of only valuing them for their cuteness (and creating little monsters in the process).
We had a Standard Poodle girl for 16 years, absolutely lovely dog. Very intelligent breed, big commitment with grooming, but they do not shed much. She’s been gone for 30 years and we still miss her💕
@@davidc8982 Aww, I’m so sorry. Aren’t they just the best dogs? Our girl was a little black puppy in an otherwise brown litter. What color was your boy?
standard poodles are such a great breed. toy poodles can be snappy at times but that comes from little dog syndrome not from the poodle in them. what a lovely boy 💖
Thank you for showing the standard poodle some love! So many people are trash talking the poodle, but there's a reason there's like a million kinds of "doodle" at this point..
Poodles are also VERY smart. I knew someone who grew up out in the country and he had a standard poodle as his babysitter. The dog kept him safe and would roam around with him in rural NC in the 50's and 60's.
This sweet boy definitely showed off his breed and training in the most pawsitive way. He was a cute “sheep”, but I think his new cut is even more adorable. I, like many, have mostly had the opportunity to meet the toy size 🐩. I often see a perfectly behaved goldendoodle at Costco, he is a working dog as his human has a medical condition, so I can only smile because I never want to distract a dog in their “work” harness.
One of the post-secondary institutions in my area has a therapy dog, a wonderful Labradoodle. His handler is a nurse and she often uses him as a way to break the ice and introduce students to the services offered by the student health center. I have met him once and he is a very nice boy.
And the name, I think if they were just named German Water dog/ retriever they wouldn't be seen as posh and snooty people dogs. ( I didn't come up with this concept I found it from a dog trainer but I believe it is true). Portuguese water dogs have the whole back half shaved for quicker movement in water which I think looks more silly than a typical poodle cut.
A puppy cut is actually a poodle cut used to accentuate the muscles of a growing poodle, and includes clean face and feet. I know you mean more of a "doodle" cut with beard and rounded paws, but thought I'd give you some trivia anyway!
Honestly, until I met a friend that breeds, shows, and does sporting events with her dogs I didn't understand the cut. It really does change the speed of a poodle in the water. The standard poodle cut is designed for maximum efficiency in the water whilst keeping them warm. The only two breeds of dogs that I have seen more at home in the water are labs and newfies. Labs and standard poodles share a similar build, but a poodle sheds A LOT less.
It never ceases to impress me how remarkably patient most of the animals Vanessa grooms are with those long session times! Clearly well-trained by their owners etc. And the educational content is such a plus of the channel, yes, Vannesa's doing a lot for the whole pet-owning & adopting community with that!
My grandparents would do a similar cut on their standard poodle. POODLES ARE THE BEST DOGS. I find it so frustrating that people discriminate against them. I love all dogs, but I seriously love a standard poodle. We lived with my grandparents on and off growing up, and their two poodles were the best. The mini came later, but their standard was around from the time I was born, until I was 13 years old. There are many pictures of the two of us, both babies together. He was a great dog. Of all the grandchildren, I was the most heartbroken when he died. I was the only grandchild who really saw him as _my_ dog, not just my grandparents’ dog. He is the dog that taught me as an infant to love dogs. He was my companion always. He came with us when my grandfather walked me to school. He once got excited and knocked me off my bike into a bunch of ivy but I found it funny. He was gentle with every baby in our family. The best dog.
Poodles often make really good service dogs because they're very smart, quite physically sturdy (for mobility tasks), and their hair is less irritating to allergies!
The longer I've been a groomer the more I've come to appreciate the "poodle-y" parts of the traditional cut and will happily apply them to any dog that could use it. Shaved face? No gross beard gunk or waterfalls after a drink. Banded puff tail? That gets rid of the part that is usually the most matted. Clean feet? Yeah they're fussy to do but they get rid of all the mats between the toes, make it easier to wipe before they come in and are great if your pup is prone to foot yeast outbreaks or picking up burrs
A lot of people dont realise what they want is a Poodle, not a Doodle. There is no compromise between a Poodle and whatever other dog breed, that can be found in a cross-bred / “designer” dog. People think Poodles are some kind of effeminate dog, therefore they have to get some kind of Doodle. Poodles are literally hunting dogs and water retrievers, theyre very versatile and useful work dogs. Plenty of good breeders for Poodles too, since the standards people have for these dogs are quite high (at least in Europe). Poodle owners tend to be enthusiasts for dog training and obedience, never known a Poodle owner that didnt train their dog.
@kshamwhizzle That or they’re bred to be crazy on purpose. My boss (I work at a doggy daycare) talked about how the dangerous Doodles she wouldn’t let back into her place could be traced back to the same handful of breeders… there was even one dog that was so bad they had to be put down before they were a year old.
I have a mutant giant for a standard poodle. His color is the same as this one. He is the smartest dog hands down. However, he will not swim. He loves to lay in the splash pad of our pool. He also rinses his feet by running through the splash pad before coming inside after his romps outside. He is truly my joy in life. I enjoy your videos, whether large dogs or small. It’s the transformation.
He's like a nice comfy 6/10 on the Poodle scale. Distinct, but not TOO exaggerated and excessive, while still looking surprisingly fashionable. Much nicer than just the same old breed standard, I'd have to agree.
Fabulous modified Poodle cut and a LOVELY Standard Poodle. I wish more people looking for non-shedding dogs would look at the purebred Poodle over all the doodle mixes! A responsibly bred Poodle is a fabulous dog and not really that more expensive than a ill-bred doodle mix!
It’s a shame so many people are paying big$ for “doodles” They can be delightful dogs, but at the end of the day they are crossbreeds and you never know what you’re going to get. Yes, there are breeders out there that have several generations of poodle crossbreeds under their belts. It’s important to do the research when buying a puppy.
@@ES11777 Edit: they aren't solidly one breed like a purebred. A goldendoodle could be 31% poodle 69% poodle et.c so they become glorified mutts. Personally though I couldn't care less; I love mutts and I believe in adoption and not purchase to each his own.
@@Account-xm6vj they don't have great genetics? You are kidding right? Breeding doesnt occur in nature, at least not to the extent humans did it with dogs. The Mutt IS the natural form for canine genetics. Breeds always leed to inbreeding in the end, otherwise you cant maintain the characteristics of a certain breed. Look at Pugs or German Shepherds to see what's wrong with that. One has problems breathing and with their eyes, the other gets hip problems very early in life.
@@stefan020290 I worded myself completely wrong there! I mean to say a poodle is 100% poodle so the number there is solid. BUT a crossbred (goldendoodle for example) may be 51% poodle 49% golden etc. Those numbers are not solid so it is essentially a glorified mutt at the end of all of it. Crossbreds and mutts have fantastic genetics. I have a mutt and have had many mutts and they have very few health issues :)
I have a absolutely lovely poodle that has been my companion for over a year. She's has been the best floof ever. My groomer loves her with how easy she is to handle. Another big thing is that they respond to training so well!!! I've been treat training her to listen to commands over the past 6 months and we have gone on so many long walks through parks and such off the leash. She always comes on command and is such a good girl. Best breed of dog I have ever encountered.
Seems like the Poodle's always win the Nonsporting Group also. At least that's the way I felt as I showed my Bichon Friese and poodle's are way more popular. What an angel he was. Great job
We have had a standard poodle for seventeen months now and we cannot stop adoring him. My English just does not suffice to express how much more than perfect he is. His true, deep love for us, his always being present, being always with us, his wish and ability to communicate with us, his soft, obedient nature, all these are difficult to put in words. We have had numerous dogs before, all wonderful ones, BUT the standard poodle just takes all to the next level.
Exactly! I have a 2 y/o standard poodle and he is the best dog I have ever owned, and we had many. He is intelligent, athletic, very affectionate and loving, friendly with others, and extremely silly and playful. We especially love how he communicates with us. He’s just amazing! And his hair is so versatile and easy to style just as long as you brush it everyday. Just a regular teddy bear cut and he constantly gets compliments whenever we walk him. Everyone thinks he is a doodle which is annoying - not every curly dog is a doodle and not every poodle looks like a typical show dog with a fancy cut 🙄
It's good to hear support from genetically good breeders. There's some breeders out there trying to help fix the Pug's and French Bulldog's smooshed, flat faces
@@mondenkindqueen they’re such a disaster. They can’t even give birth naturally. French bulldogs have to give birth by c-section. It’s horrible. Show breed standards have prized inhumane, torturous traits over health
The smooshed face of the French Bulldog is relatively recent. If you go back some 20-30 years, you'll see that they had more of a snout. I don't know why they thought that the smooshed look was desirable.
Angel dog! I remember reading about poodle history and that they began as working dogs, as you mentioned. Also read that the poodle is ranked second as the most intelligent breed of dog. Their image of poofy, foo-foo dogs is appearance based only. Tontu (sp?) is such a good boy too--I can see why you love grooming him.
When I did dog walking, the miniature poodle I walked was probably the most delightful dog I've met and I owned a golden retriever(who I loved). An adorable wee beast with a big personality and tons of loyalty. I always thought of them as froo-froo dogs but I was really wrong.
Poodles are such wonderful dogs, in all sizes! And also, the "show cuts" for them originate from them being used to hunt waterfowl! Ive never seen them as "froufrou" dogs really, just elegant and strong. They're naturally very beautiful, and also hardy as hell.
back in my old apartment there was this nice older woman who would walk her standard and mini poodle. the standard had pastel pink green and blue dye on their fur and were super friendly. sometimes she’d take them off-leash and all the neighborhood kids would run around with them while she sat and watched. she was super nice
my service dog is a standard poodle. i’m growing him out into an asian fusion clip and he’s looking so cute! he’s very much the typical poodle temperament to me, which includes being incredibly charming, which makes sense since when i asked the groomer he’s been going to since he was a tiny baby if she missed him when she changed salons she said she’d been “missing that boy like crazy!” haha. he’s also reportedly very well behaved for whoever grooms him, which i’m endlessly proud of.
Poodles are my spirit animals. I've had 2 in my life (who btw lived until their 17 and 16) and you bet when I move to a larger house I'll get another one! They are the sweetest, most intelligent, caring and peaceful dogs ever.
I honestly feel like that might make it more impressive that theyre so well behaved, then. Like, a well behaved dog of another breed might not STAY that way if it had to be groomed for as long as a poodle, right?
Mine hates getting wet, he loves running up to water and then runs away from it, he's a drama queen, hates the rain and won't go out without his raincoat on lol
Tell mine not to! It was the man reason for me to start treat training her a few months ago. Whenever she see water she tries to dive straight in. Luckly she has been responding real well to training to where she will only jump in when I give her the go ahead.
YEEEEEEEEEEES! I own a poodle and everyone just assumes that they are little preppy snobs, but they really are amazing. they are hypoallergenic, never shed, really derpy (at least my handsome boy is), they have an amazing history, and are the second most intelligent dog in the world. I just love them so much!
This poodle is gorgeous! As a poodle mama I can attest that they are a phenomenal breed. Smart, loving, loyal and full of personality. You can groom them a hundred different ways too.
He was perfect. There is no dog better then the poodle. We had two toy poodles and they were the joy of my life. So obedient and so full of life. Thanks for sharing. He is not only beautiful but such a gentleman. 💙💙
Vanessa's initial comment is what all my friends thought when I told them I was getting a poodle and then they met her, also a standard and they all fell in love. Poodles are just amazing and such versatile dogs. Very close to the clip I give mine as well. Good boy!
We have our first poodle. He's about a year now, is giant, and is just simply the best dog I've ever known. Agreed with being VERY selective about your breeder. We talked to many and ended up having to drive over 1000 miles (each way) to get ours. Worth it!
Our standard is the most well-behaved, sweet girl. They truly are very misunderstood simply due to the froo froo clips we usually see. They are so much more than “nonshedders to cross with other breeds”. Love your channel!
my late godmother always had a poodle for the entire length of time I knew her. first it was Chanel, a chocolate standard poodle, who was with her for many years. when Chanel crossed the rainbow bridge, my godmother adopted a toy poodle named Sophie from the local shelter, who was her constant companion until she fell ill with the illness that ultimately took her from us. Sophie was taken in by my godmother's son and his family, so was well taken care of, and to the best of my knowledge is still with them today. not wanting my godmother to be lonely, when I found out she was sick, I bought her a poodle plush that she could keep with her always. it was by her side when she passed.
This is why you're the most fabulous pet groomer I've come across, not only do you know how to groom to the breed of the dog, but you do your breed research and present correct breed information 💜💜 fabulous fabulous job! 🐩
For reference for anyone confused like me: "Hair" and "fur" apparently mean single coat (hair) and double coat (fur). Somewhat a specialized term for dogs, otherwise generally the same in most situations. Edit: See Rebecca Hicks' and cynthia tomlin's comments below for even more details, this got more in-depth than anticipated lol.
Didn't know that. Thank you! I thought they were interchangeable terms, but having said that, I've only ever used hair for my dogs: greyhounds - short-haired, not 100% allergen free, but pretty close to it. Probably as much to do with their skin as their hair, because they can dry out if you're not careful, especially in winter. Adding a spoon of olive oil or cod liver oil to their food can help (they *love* the latter!). I occasionally feed him tuna in sunflower oil, which doesn't get drained, and is mixed up in his complete dog meal. Reducing the amount of meal when they stop racing is a good thing to do (I reckon it's the same for older dogs as they slow down irrespective of breed) because they can develop kidney stones if their amount goes over 16% protein. So we take some higher protein "crunchies" out and replace it with wet food, which only usually has between 6-9% protein. Our old blue boy, the most stoic dog I've ever known, didn't let on he wasn't feeling good, despite him being fine with vets. This one day we had no idea at all that he was feeling bad. We only discovered the blood-covered stone when he passed it, and he screamed like a human! (No exaggeration, I thought one of my toddlers has been scared to death!) Poor boy must have been in agony, as it wasn't exactly small! So be careful if you have older dogs.
@@ShainAndrews it's because of their hair texture that makes it hair actually because it feels much like a humans and the way it grows (yorkie's) it's not a black and white thing of single coat is this or double coat is this
I don't know what it is about this chick but every time she talks, she has my FULL attention!!! Something about her voice and attitude is like ASMR to me!! I must salute the man behind the camera!! Seriously love the content LOL!!!!
The standard poodle is a graceful, smart, well behaved and beautiful dog. Several friends have them and they also make great country dogs. I adore them, but alas I am a cat person.
After rescuing an Aussie Doodle from a puppy mill situation I have become such a fan of full poodles! There is so much more credibility and standards when it comes to breeding a standard poodle, including the genetic and health testing like you mentioned. Plus they look just as adorable in those teddy bear cuts that all doodle owners seem to love so much. With a doodle, you never know what kind of temperment or issues you might get- but with a well bred and vetted poodle- what you see is what you get! An incredibly sweet, funny, and intelligent dog.
I am sorry for your loss! My daycare toypoodle hates water, too! When I make him go into the water with me, because I want to swim, he always manages to climb on my back. 🙂
I LOVE how you (too) often start by saying "This is one of my favorites" That says a lot about your love for your job and others' fur babies. God bless! 🤗
Omg… yes Standard poodles are the best breed ever! I miss my Standard poodle, he was the kindest, greatest dog ever. He unfortunately died of a seizure. Then, of course, we went from a friendly, loving stranger dog, to a GSD three years later… not the smartest choice ever. But my GSD does remind me of Boomer (The Name of the Standard Poodle.) with the loyalty and such.
You are what a true groomer is supposed to be. I've seen the other side of the profession and you prove there are fantastic people out there that are worth any cost for a great groom!!!
I have an apricot toy poodle who is 15 years old and so rotten! Every place we have lived, everyone knows Molly, because she's got that intelligent personality thing that poodles have, so she makes friends easily. Love your channel! Side note, I have hurt my back and was trying to stand up, and I involuntarily emitted a loud OOOOOOH. My dear son in the next room quipped, are you singing the song of your people, mom? He loves your channel, too.
I usually hate poodle cuts as they just look ridiculous but I was so surprised by then result as you did an amazing job and blending everything and not shaving it all at a number 1
I was a groomer and my poodle loved every dog that came in .She was the social director of the shop . She had the best temperament and would just stand and wag her tail greeting every dog in there cage less cubbies .
Poodles are my favorite. I had several standards but when we we lost our last standard boy, Zack, we got 2 minis as I groom and have gotten too old for the care requirements for the big Poodles. The standards are not as affectionate as our minis but they all live to play, snuggle, and be with their humans. Thank you for featuring a standard. I truly enjoy your videos.
WOW! That was a lot of hair on the floor. My neighbors had a standard poodle when I was growing up. They never went for froo-froo poodle cuts and just kept his hair medium short. Dog was amazingly well behaved. He'd slip his chain and head to a random neighbor's house, slip in after scratching at the door and just hang out for a while. Then he'd ask to be let out and head home.
This just showed me how sadly prejudiced I was against this breed. That dog came in looking SO UTTERLY ADORABLE I didn't know what breed it was. If poodles can look like that, wow, I have to reconsider. I personally don't like that shaved poodle look, but to each their own - I expect the dog doesn't care lol!
Lol you’d be surprised! Our poodle’s confidence would go through the roof when he came back from the groomer with a full poodle cut. We had him shaved down shorter evenly over his body for summertime and he was not a fan. Slunk around like he thought he was naked instead of prancing as usual. 😅
I love it when people play around with poodle hair cuts, it's surprising how many breeds they resemble if you give them different cuts, and they're always adorable. I'm personally not a fan of the shaved feet, I think they look like horrible little chicken toes then, lol. I keep mine in a modified puppy cut and everyone loves it, he's chocolate brown, so sometimes he actually looks like a small bear.
@@thatrandompainter Im reading all the comments about their diva behavior and how they love to be clean and groomed from so many people. I think I want one now

Smart, athletic, calm, friendly, well behaved, and they don't shed. There literally is no better dog than a Standard Poodle.
Had a mini poodle for 18 years, I'm 20. He was my absolute best friend, amazingly intelligent, well mannered, and easily trained. I miss him every day. Poodles are great and I am BIASED!! LOL ❤️
poodles are genuinely amazing dogs, i hate how they’re portrayed in media
wdym?
@@agstinacueva1673 prissy, high-fashion, girly, demanding, they always show them in eccentric haircuts etc etc; especially in movies
@@agstinacueva1673 like think Georgette from Oliver and Company. Classic poodle stereotype, much as I love her as a character.
I have recently started to love poodles, I didn't like them because of their portrayal and now I will own a half toy poodle
Yeah I remember when I was a kid and thought poodles weren't even "real" dogs (as in dog-like), thanks to poodles shown in cartoons and movies. As an example in the movie 'Look Who's Talking Now' they made the poodle an annoying fancy girl who didn't like the mutt in the family. As a girl who loved dogs I didn't consider them very dog-like. Thanks to exposure later in life, I've learned what awesome dogs they are. The intelligence and temperament is hardly ever short from wonderful.
Maybe being a French breed they got some bad press due to politics and it stuck to our subconscious? I'm from Finland but consumed a lot of media from USA and UK through tv as a kid.
You've converted me. I've never really considered poodles an interesting breed but I can appreciate them now. I think he was rather handsome before the shave but I can see the benefits of maintaining his coat like that. He looked like he was having fun the whole time. His pet parents must be very proud of how well behaved he is.
It should also be noted that poodles can be pretty tough to train, entirely because they're smart and strong-willed. In some respects, they're more like cats than dogs. lol
@@gyppygirl2021 Wow, makes it even more special that he was so sweet and calm. I'm used to dauschunds and they're stubborn and driven little beasts.
@@kriscook2423 Yep, whenever I see a well-behaved poodle, I think to myself that I want to meet that dog's owner. They must be a very patient person!
@@gyppygirl2021 When I see a well-behaved poodle, it makes me happy because it means they respect the dog as the smart and energetic breed that he/she is, instead of only valuing them for their cuteness (and creating little monsters in the process).
@@darkcreatureinadarkroom1617 YES. Please respect your poodles, everyone!
We had a Standard Poodle girl for 16 years, absolutely lovely dog. Very intelligent breed, big commitment with grooming, but they do not shed much. She’s been gone for 30 years and we still miss her💕
We lost our standard poodle boy last year. Don't think I've ever been so devastated.
We have some great content of our German shepherds on our TH-cam channel. We would love for you to check it out! 🐾🐺♥️
@@davidc8982 Aww, I’m so sorry. Aren’t they just the best dogs? Our girl was a little black puppy in an otherwise brown litter. What color was your boy?
L
standard poodles are such a great breed. toy poodles can be snappy at times but that comes from little dog syndrome not from the poodle in them. what a lovely boy 💖
Boston Terriers say: What is this “little dog syndrome” of which you speak?
Thank you for showing the standard poodle some love! So many people are trash talking the poodle, but there's a reason there's like a million kinds of "doodle" at this point..
Poodles are also VERY smart. I knew someone who grew up out in the country and he had a standard poodle as his babysitter. The dog kept him safe and would roam around with him in rural NC in the 50's and 60's.
That's so sweet. :)
That sounds like it could be a Pixar movie.
This sweet boy definitely showed off his breed and training in the most pawsitive way. He was a cute “sheep”, but I think his new cut is even more adorable. I, like many, have mostly had the opportunity to meet the toy size 🐩. I often see a perfectly behaved goldendoodle at Costco, he is a working dog as his human has a medical condition, so I can only smile because I never want to distract a dog in their “work” harness.
One of the post-secondary institutions in my area has a therapy dog, a wonderful Labradoodle. His handler is a nurse and she often uses him as a way to break the ice and introduce students to the services offered by the student health center. I have met him once and he is a very nice boy.
Good work not touching the working dog! My Shih Tzu Lewis was a certified therapy dog. We visited hospice every week. He’s an angel in disguise.
I think what turns a lot of people off from Poodles is the foufy "Poodle cut". I think they're gorgeous with just a regular "puppy cut".
And the name, I think if they were just named German Water dog/ retriever they wouldn't be seen as posh and snooty people dogs. ( I didn't come up with this concept I found it from a dog trainer but I believe it is true). Portuguese water dogs have the whole back half shaved for quicker movement in water which I think looks more silly than a typical poodle cut.
A puppy cut is actually a poodle cut used to accentuate the muscles of a growing poodle, and includes clean face and feet. I know you mean more of a "doodle" cut with beard and rounded paws, but thought I'd give you some trivia anyway!
Honestly, until I met a friend that breeds, shows, and does sporting events with her dogs I didn't understand the cut.
It really does change the speed of a poodle in the water. The standard poodle cut is designed for maximum efficiency in the water whilst keeping them warm.
The only two breeds of dogs that I have seen more at home in the water are labs and newfies.
Labs and standard poodles share a similar build, but a poodle sheds A LOT less.
@@nerlana1281 the german name for a Poodle is Pudelhund and in German and means puddle hound/dog. so i can see how it got shortened to Poodle.
We have some great content of our German shepherds on our TH-cam channel. We would love for you to check it out! 🐾🐺♥️
3 hours to groom him! What a patient boy. ❤️
The way she narrates her videos is what makes them so great.
A 3 hour groom is massively labor intensive work. I appreciate the history and the educational aspects you incorporate into your videos. ❤️
It never ceases to impress me how remarkably patient most of the animals Vanessa grooms are with those long session times! Clearly well-trained by their owners etc. And the educational content is such a plus of the channel, yes, Vannesa's doing a lot for the whole pet-owning & adopting community with that!
My grandparents would do a similar cut on their standard poodle. POODLES ARE THE BEST DOGS. I find it so frustrating that people discriminate against them. I love all dogs, but I seriously love a standard poodle. We lived with my grandparents on and off growing up, and their two poodles were the best. The mini came later, but their standard was around from the time I was born, until I was 13 years old. There are many pictures of the two of us, both babies together. He was a great dog. Of all the grandchildren, I was the most heartbroken when he died. I was the only grandchild who really saw him as _my_ dog, not just my grandparents’ dog. He is the dog that taught me as an infant to love dogs. He was my companion always. He came with us when my grandfather walked me to school. He once got excited and knocked me off my bike into a bunch of ivy but I found it funny. He was gentle with every baby in our family. The best dog.
Agreed… I wouldn’t have any other dog than a poodle. They are wonderful x
Poodles often make really good service dogs because they're very smart, quite physically sturdy (for mobility tasks), and their hair is less irritating to allergies!
Poodles aren't cleared for the majority of mobility tasks, theyre a lean breed.
@@mavel2038 Mary Frey's is.
The longer I've been a groomer the more I've come to appreciate the "poodle-y" parts of the traditional cut and will happily apply them to any dog that could use it. Shaved face? No gross beard gunk or waterfalls after a drink. Banded puff tail? That gets rid of the part that is usually the most matted. Clean feet? Yeah they're fussy to do but they get rid of all the mats between the toes, make it easier to wipe before they come in and are great if your pup is prone to foot yeast outbreaks or picking up burrs
A lot of people dont realise what they want is a Poodle, not a Doodle. There is no compromise between a Poodle and whatever other dog breed, that can be found in a cross-bred / “designer” dog. People think Poodles are some kind of effeminate dog, therefore they have to get some kind of Doodle. Poodles are literally hunting dogs and water retrievers, theyre very versatile and useful work dogs.
Plenty of good breeders for Poodles too, since the standards people have for these dogs are quite high (at least in Europe). Poodle owners tend to be enthusiasts for dog training and obedience, never known a Poodle owner that didnt train their dog.
Yes! Everything people think they are getting in a doodle is actually what you get with a poodle minus all the insanity of a doodle!!!
This!! ☝🏻
Yes! People should stop the doodle nonsense and just get a well-bred standard instead.
Doodles are crazies! Very sweet, but so crazy lol
@kshamwhizzle That or they’re bred to be crazy on purpose. My boss (I work at a doggy daycare) talked about how the dangerous Doodles she wouldn’t let back into her place could be traced back to the same handful of breeders… there was even one dog that was so bad they had to be put down before they were a year old.
I’ve met exactly ONE doodle who was well behaved. She was such a love bug who just wanted to cuddle.
The perfect little poof ball on the end of his tail is everything. Also, Violet Marie looks very unimpressed with her new bandana lol.
I met a standard poodle once, he was a good boy and gave me an enthusiastic hello!
I have a mutant giant for a standard poodle. His color is the same as this one. He is the smartest dog hands down. However, he will not swim. He loves to lay in the splash pad of our pool. He also rinses his feet by running through the splash pad before coming inside after his romps outside. He is truly my joy in life. I enjoy your videos, whether large dogs or small. It’s the transformation.
My poodle looked just like this guy. Miss him so much. He loved his groomer as it was a daycare too. He’d spend the whole day there.
As someone who grew up with poodles, I can confirm that they are indeed amazing dogs, who will be giant puppies until their very last breath.
He's like a nice comfy 6/10 on the Poodle scale. Distinct, but not TOO exaggerated and excessive, while still looking surprisingly fashionable. Much nicer than just the same old breed standard, I'd have to agree.
Fabulous modified Poodle cut and a LOVELY Standard Poodle. I wish more people looking for non-shedding dogs would look at the purebred Poodle over all the doodle mixes! A responsibly bred Poodle is a fabulous dog and not really that more expensive than a ill-bred doodle mix!
It’s a shame so many people are paying big$ for “doodles” They can be delightful dogs, but at the end of the day they are crossbreeds and you never know what you’re going to get. Yes, there are breeders out there that have several generations of poodle crossbreeds under their belts. It’s important to do the research when buying a puppy.
@@CLT2829 What’s wrong with crossbreeds? They are just as great as pure breeds. You come off as uneducated.
@@ES11777
Edit: they aren't solidly one breed like a purebred. A goldendoodle could be 31% poodle 69% poodle et.c so they become glorified mutts. Personally though I couldn't care less; I love mutts and I believe in adoption and not purchase to each his own.
@@Account-xm6vj they don't have great genetics? You are kidding right? Breeding doesnt occur in nature, at least not to the extent humans did it with dogs. The Mutt IS the natural form for canine genetics. Breeds always leed to inbreeding in the end, otherwise you cant maintain the characteristics of a certain breed. Look at Pugs or German Shepherds to see what's wrong with that. One has problems breathing and with their eyes, the other gets hip problems very early in life.
@@stefan020290 I worded myself completely wrong there! I mean to say a poodle is 100% poodle so the number there is solid. BUT a crossbred (goldendoodle for example) may be 51% poodle 49% golden etc. Those numbers are not solid so it is essentially a glorified mutt at the end of all of it. Crossbreds and mutts have fantastic genetics. I have a mutt and have had many mutts and they have very few health issues :)
I have a absolutely lovely poodle that has been my companion for over a year. She's has been the best floof ever. My groomer loves her with how easy she is to handle. Another big thing is that they respond to training so well!!! I've been treat training her to listen to commands over the past 6 months and we have gone on so many long walks through parks and such off the leash. She always comes on command and is such a good girl. Best breed of dog I have ever encountered.
Violet Marie is an adorable little dumpling! Even as cute as pugs are, she stands out!
Poodles are so smart. They always look like they know stuff about you.
And they do.
I never would’ve guessed that this dog was a poodle. Such a cutie pie!
Same I thought he was a golden doodle 😋
You forgot to mention their intelligence!! Everybody forgets to mention how incredibly intelligent they are.
Seems like the Poodle's always win the Nonsporting Group also. At least that's
the way I felt as I showed my Bichon Friese and poodle's are way more popular.
What an angel he was. Great job
We have had a standard poodle for seventeen months now and we cannot stop adoring him. My English just does not suffice to express how much more than perfect he is. His true, deep love for us, his always being present, being always with us, his wish and ability to communicate with us, his soft, obedient nature, all these are difficult to put in words. We have had numerous dogs before, all wonderful ones, BUT the standard poodle just takes all to the next level.
Exactly! I have a 2 y/o standard poodle and he is the best dog I have ever owned, and we had many. He is intelligent, athletic, very affectionate and loving, friendly with others, and extremely silly and playful. We especially love how he communicates with us. He’s just amazing! And his hair is so versatile and easy to style just as long as you brush it everyday. Just a regular teddy bear cut and he constantly gets compliments whenever we walk him. Everyone thinks he is a doodle which is annoying - not every curly dog is a doodle and not every poodle looks like a typical show dog with a fancy cut 🙄
It's good to hear support from genetically good breeders. There's some breeders out there trying to help fix the Pug's and French Bulldog's smooshed, flat faces
Thank goodness. Those poor things have had their breathing so badly impacted, that running around during summer can overheat and kill them.
@@mondenkindqueen they’re such a disaster. They can’t even give birth naturally. French bulldogs have to give birth by c-section. It’s horrible. Show breed standards have prized inhumane, torturous traits over health
We have some great content of our German shepherds on our TH-cam channel. We would love for you to check it out! 🐾🐺♥️
The smooshed face of the French Bulldog is relatively recent. If you go back some 20-30 years, you'll see that they had more of a snout. I don't know why they thought that the smooshed look was desirable.
@@vegasrenie No need to overthink it, when you can summarize the reason why in four words. “But it is cute.”
I can't get over Violet Marie's face! Oh she's just too cute! And Tantu was such a good boy! Loved the cut on him.
Best behaviour ever, an impressive calm dog during all the session.
Beautiful cut! That is how a Standard Poodle SHOULD look!!
Angel dog! I remember reading about poodle history and that they began as working dogs, as you mentioned. Also read that the poodle is ranked second as the most intelligent breed of dog. Their image of poofy, foo-foo dogs is appearance based only. Tontu (sp?) is such a good boy too--I can see why you love grooming him.
When I did dog walking, the miniature poodle I walked was probably the most delightful dog I've met and I owned a golden retriever(who I loved). An adorable wee beast with a big personality and tons of loyalty. I always thought of them as froo-froo dogs but I was really wrong.
Poodles are such wonderful dogs, in all sizes! And also, the "show cuts" for them originate from them being used to hunt waterfowl! Ive never seen them as "froufrou" dogs really, just elegant and strong. They're naturally very beautiful, and also hardy as hell.
back in my old apartment there was this nice older woman who would walk her standard and mini poodle. the standard had pastel pink green and blue dye on their fur and were super friendly. sometimes she’d take them off-leash and all the neighborhood kids would run around with them while she sat and watched. she was super nice
What a nice memory! We had a mini poodle when I was a kid. She was very sweet. Smart, sassy, and sweet!
my service dog is a standard poodle. i’m growing him out into an asian fusion clip and he’s looking so cute! he’s very much the typical poodle temperament to me, which includes being incredibly charming, which makes sense since when i asked the groomer he’s been going to since he was a tiny baby if she missed him when she changed salons she said she’d been “missing that boy like crazy!” haha. he’s also reportedly very well behaved for whoever grooms him, which i’m endlessly proud of.
This is a cut I had never seen on a poodle (& wouldn't have thought of) - brilliant, I loved it. ❤️ 🐕
Poodles are my spirit animals. I've had 2 in my life (who btw lived until their 17 and 16) and you bet when I move to a larger house I'll get another one! They are the sweetest, most intelligent, caring and peaceful dogs ever.
When I did dog bathing and a little grooming, standard poodles were the easiest to work with. The work itself does take a long time though.
I honestly feel like that might make it more impressive that theyre so well behaved, then. Like, a well behaved dog of another breed might not STAY that way if it had to be groomed for as long as a poodle, right?
absolutely. it helps that many poodle owners seem to really care and put in the required effort for their dog’s coats.
“Poodles Love water” can you can explain that to my standard?? She won’t even dip her toes in 😂.
Mine either😂
Mine hates getting wet, he loves running up to water and then runs away from it, he's a drama queen, hates the rain and won't go out without his raincoat on lol
Mine hates water too !!!
Tell mine not to! It was the man reason for me to start treat training her a few months ago. Whenever she see water she tries to dive straight in. Luckly she has been responding real well to training to where she will only jump in when I give her the go ahead.
This was a complete visual transformation for what seems a nice dog he went from casual to classy in one groom- great work Girl with the dogs
That was a beautiful transformation. Must be very gratifying.
YEEEEEEEEEEES! I own a poodle and everyone just assumes that they are little preppy snobs, but they really are amazing. they are hypoallergenic, never shed, really derpy (at least my handsome boy is), they have an amazing history, and are the second most intelligent dog in the world. I just love them so much!
Love the derp factor.
This poodle is gorgeous! As a poodle mama I can attest that they are a phenomenal breed. Smart, loving, loyal and full of personality. You can groom them a hundred different ways too.
He was perfect. There is no dog better then the poodle. We had two toy poodles and they were the joy of my life. So obedient and so full of life. Thanks for sharing. He is not only beautiful but such a gentleman. 💙💙
It is lovely to watch an expert at her profession.
Oh the little leg warmers make me so happy, I don’t know why lol What a sweet puppy.
I was never a big fan of poodles until I worked with them. They are such a well behaved and easily trainable dog breed.
Vanessa's initial comment is what all my friends thought when I told them I was getting a poodle and then they met her, also a standard and they all fell in love. Poodles are just amazing and such versatile dogs. Very close to the clip I give mine as well. Good boy!
I don't know why youtube recommended me your videos, as I don't even own a dog, but I'm glad, because I can't stop watching them now.
We have our first poodle. He's about a year now, is giant, and is just simply the best dog I've ever known. Agreed with being VERY selective about your breeder. We talked to many and ended up having to drive over 1000 miles (each way) to get ours. Worth it!
I just watched your videos. They’re hilarious! Looks like you took really good care of your pets and now you have a little one!
Our standard is the most well-behaved, sweet girl. They truly are very misunderstood simply due to the froo froo clips we usually see. They are so much more than “nonshedders to cross with other breeds”. Love your channel!
💯 truth!
my late godmother always had a poodle for the entire length of time I knew her. first it was Chanel, a chocolate standard poodle, who was with her for many years. when Chanel crossed the rainbow bridge, my godmother adopted a toy poodle named Sophie from the local shelter, who was her constant companion until she fell ill with the illness that ultimately took her from us. Sophie was taken in by my godmother's son and his family, so was well taken care of, and to the best of my knowledge is still with them today. not wanting my godmother to be lonely, when I found out she was sick, I bought her a poodle plush that she could keep with her always. it was by her side when she passed.
As a person living with a standard poodle.. i thank you for this really sweet introduction. : )
I have a standard poodle who’s actually sleeping on my couch right now, and she’s the sweetest baby! I love them!
He came out beautifully!
This is why you're the most fabulous pet groomer I've come across, not only do you know how to groom to the breed of the dog, but you do your breed research and present correct breed information 💜💜 fabulous fabulous job! 🐩
For reference for anyone confused like me:
"Hair" and "fur" apparently mean single coat (hair) and double coat (fur). Somewhat a specialized term for dogs, otherwise generally the same in most situations.
Edit: See Rebecca Hicks' and cynthia tomlin's comments below for even more details, this got more in-depth than anticipated lol.
Also depends on texture! Example is Yorkshire terriers have hair not fur :)
Didn't know that. Thank you! I thought they were interchangeable terms, but having said that, I've only ever used hair for my dogs: greyhounds - short-haired, not 100% allergen free, but pretty close to it. Probably as much to do with their skin as their hair, because they can dry out if you're not careful, especially in winter. Adding a spoon of olive oil or cod liver oil to their food can help (they *love* the latter!). I occasionally feed him tuna in sunflower oil, which doesn't get drained, and is mixed up in his complete dog meal.
Reducing the amount of meal when they stop racing is a good thing to do (I reckon it's the same for older dogs as they slow down irrespective of breed) because they can develop kidney stones if their amount goes over 16% protein. So we take some higher protein "crunchies" out and replace it with wet food, which only usually has between 6-9% protein.
Our old blue boy, the most stoic dog I've ever known, didn't let on he wasn't feeling good, despite him being fine with vets. This one day we had no idea at all that he was feeling bad. We only discovered the blood-covered stone when he passed it, and he screamed like a human! (No exaggeration, I thought one of my toddlers has been scared to death!) Poor boy must have been in agony, as it wasn't exactly small! So be careful if you have older dogs.
@@nerlana1281 Single coat...
That's one definition, but in this video she's connecting "fur" to low allergen low-shedding, and that's not the case for every single coated breed!
@@ShainAndrews it's because of their hair texture that makes it hair actually because it feels much like a humans and the way it grows (yorkie's) it's not a black and white thing of single coat is this or double coat is this
I don't know what it is about this chick but every time she talks, she has my FULL attention!!! Something about her voice and attitude is like ASMR to me!! I must salute the man behind the camera!! Seriously love the content LOL!!!!
The standard poodle is a graceful, smart, well behaved and beautiful dog. Several friends have them and they also make great country dogs. I adore them, but alas I am a cat person.
Lost my poodle earlier this year (he was 15 and a half!) and it makes me so happy to see the breed getting some well-deserved love 💕
After rescuing an Aussie Doodle from a puppy mill situation I have become such a fan of full poodles! There is so much more credibility and standards when it comes to breeding a standard poodle, including the genetic and health testing like you mentioned. Plus they look just as adorable in those teddy bear cuts that all doodle owners seem to love so much. With a doodle, you never know what kind of temperment or issues you might get- but with a well bred and vetted poodle- what you see is what you get! An incredibly sweet, funny, and intelligent dog.
Lost my standard poodle 2 years ago, looked just like tantu. Ironically hated water, miss you shadow
I am sorry for your loss! My daycare toypoodle hates water, too! When I make him go into the water with me, because I want to swim, he always manages to climb on my back. 🙂
I LOVE how you (too) often start by saying "This is one of my favorites"
That says a lot about your love for your job and others' fur babies.
God bless! 🤗
Omg… yes Standard poodles are the best breed ever! I miss my Standard poodle, he was the kindest, greatest dog ever. He unfortunately died of a seizure. Then, of course, we went from a friendly, loving stranger dog, to a GSD three years later… not the smartest choice ever. But my GSD does remind me of Boomer (The Name of the Standard Poodle.) with the loyalty and such.
I cannot get over how fluffy he got after the blow dry!!! So stinkin cute!!!
I have a two year old standard poodle named Frank and he is just the best dog! I loved watching this video. It made me so happy!
You are what a true groomer is supposed to be. I've seen the other side of the profession and you prove there are fantastic people out there that are worth any cost for a great groom!!!
If you've had a poodle or known a poodle, you will always want another. He looks great!
100% yesss! 😊
I have an apricot toy poodle who is 15 years old and so rotten! Every place we have lived, everyone knows Molly, because she's got that intelligent personality thing that poodles have, so she makes friends easily.
Love your channel!
Side note, I have hurt my back and was trying to stand up, and I involuntarily emitted a loud OOOOOOH. My dear son in the next room quipped, are you singing the song of your people, mom? He loves your channel, too.
I usually hate poodle cuts as they just look ridiculous but I was so surprised by then result as you did an amazing job and blending everything and not shaving it all at a number 1
I have a 12-year-old standard poodle and she’s my best friend. She’s so smart and so patient with kids & cats. I love her so much.
i love how you can find little ways to have fun while grooming
I did that whenever I worked retail. Got to have some fun at work.
I was a groomer and my poodle loved every dog that came in .She was the social director of the shop . She had the best temperament and would just stand and wag her tail greeting every dog in there cage less cubbies .
poodles are angels 👼!! my dream dog is a miniature poodle. great size, great personalities, and perfect for so many households
Poodles are my favorite. I had several standards but when we we lost our last standard boy, Zack, we got 2 minis as I groom and have gotten too old for the care requirements for the big Poodles. The standards are not as affectionate as our minis but they all live to play, snuggle, and be with their humans. Thank you for featuring a standard. I truly enjoy your videos.
Tontu looks absolutely _adorable_ before the shave!
I used to have a teddybear as a kid that looked like that.
Poodles are also one of the smartest dogs. I think they should be portrayed more as problem solving working dogs than "show" dogs accompanying ladies.
WOW! That was a lot of hair on the floor. My neighbors had a standard poodle when I was growing up. They never went for froo-froo poodle cuts and just kept his hair medium short. Dog was amazingly well behaved. He'd slip his chain and head to a random neighbor's house, slip in after scratching at the door and just hang out for a while. Then he'd ask to be let out and head home.
This just showed me how sadly prejudiced I was against this breed. That dog came in looking SO UTTERLY ADORABLE I didn't know what breed it was. If poodles can look like that, wow, I have to reconsider. I personally don't like that shaved poodle look, but to each their own - I expect the dog doesn't care lol!
Lol you’d be surprised! Our poodle’s confidence would go through the roof when he came back from the groomer with a full poodle cut. We had him shaved down shorter evenly over his body for summertime and he was not a fan. Slunk around like he thought he was naked instead of prancing as usual. 😅
I love it when people play around with poodle hair cuts, it's surprising how many breeds they resemble if you give them different cuts, and they're always adorable. I'm personally not a fan of the shaved feet, I think they look like horrible little chicken toes then, lol. I keep mine in a modified puppy cut and everyone loves it, he's chocolate brown, so sometimes he actually looks like a small bear.
@@thatrandompainter Im reading all the comments about their diva behavior and how they love to be clean and groomed from so many people. I think I want one now
He's beautiful! Over the past couple years I've started to really appreciate Standard Poodles specifically, and it's definitely a breed I'd think about getting one day. They're fantastic dogs.
Get Two. They are easily bored and having a partner keeps the worst of their bordedom in check. They are not mean or so when bored. They get creative. Very, very creative
I grew up with a Standard Poodle, she was the absolute sweetest dog, she had such a love for EVERYTHING!! Tantou reminds me of Taffy, as she had the same color of coat as this handsome boy. I miss her everyday!
