[nagdu] question about standard poodles

[Hannah Chadwick]

Shannonn,
Welcome to the list. My name is Hannah, and I am working my first guide, a
standard poodle from Pilot Dogs. her name is Princess, and we became a team
in January.
Princess goes to the groomer about every 8 weeks or so (depending on how hot
the weather is). She gets her hair cut, nails clipped, ears cleaned, and
teeth brushed. Although Princess is very high-maintenance, I wouldn't give
her up for anything. She did test me a lot in the beginning, but now she
knows her limits and I am super glad I asked for a poodle.
You asked about weight, Princess weighs about 45 pounds, and she is all
black.
Please feel free to email me off list if you have any additional questions.
All the best, Hannah

Subject: [nagdu] question about standard poodles

Hi all.

Does anyone on this list have a standard poodle? The online form on Pilot
Dogs' website asks if I have a particular choice of breed. My first dog was
a golden retriever/lab cross. I don't even remember seeing a small poodle,
much less a standard size one, but my impression from what I hear is they
are small dogs. Also, I'm wondering if there is something special I would
have to do to groom a poodle like clipping. I was considering the standard
poodle because I've heard they don't shed as bad as a lab or golden. Any
thoughts? Thanks.
