Grooming
The Poodle Coat / / ( Scroll Down Page for More )
The Standard Poodle has a distinctive fine, frizzy, wooly coat similar in texture to sheep’s wool. Solid white is most common, but the coat may also be solid grey, brown, apricot, or black. There are three distinct grooming styles for show Poodles: puppy clip, continental clip, and English saddle clip. The puppy clip entails shaving the face, throat, feet, and base of the tail. The upper legs and hindquarters are also shaved in the continental clip (currently the most popular), leaving ‘pom poms’ around the ankles. The English saddle clip is similar, but the hindquarters are left mostly unshaved. All show clips require heavy maintenance, thus pet clips commonly entail shorter hair over the entire body. Poodle hair can be formed in a ‘corded’ style, in which the hair is allowed to mat into long, thin rows rather than being brushed out. This is difficult to maintain, and now rare. Standard Poodles do not shed, making them a good match for allergy sufferers, for which reason they are commonly used for crossbreeding.

The Standard Poodle has a shoulder height of 35-45 cm (14-18 in) and weighs 20-32 kg (45-70 lbs). Standard Poodles are very elegant in appearance. They have a long, narrow muzzle, slight stop (point at which the forehead meets the muzzle), dark eyes, and wide ears. Standard Poodles have flat backs, straight, docked tails and small, oval feet. Their length is approximately the same as their height.
