How To Groom A Poodle
When you think of the dog breed "Poodle," what images does your mind think of? Perhaps you think about the image of a perfectly groomed dog with a hairstyle to rival a beauty queen. While some might believe that Poodle handlers decide on which hairstyle to promote a regal appearance for their treasured dog, the truth is a bit more complex than that. Indeed, Poodles were originally bred as water dogs and a hunter would have to shave a dogs coat to decrease water dragging; patches of hair were left on the leg joints so that cold water or debris would not hurt the dog. Haircuts became more popular, exaggerated and elaborate when traveling gypsies and then the French, began using the Poodle breed for circus performances.
Today, Poodles may be present in a show ring with a large number of different clips or hairstyles; clips used on Poodles who are being shown are referred to as "show clips," to differentiate them from a "pet clip." Pet clips are not suitable for the show ring and for dogs that do not compete. Show clips are very time consuming and expert groomers estimate that a show clip may take about 10 hours per week for grooming and maintenance. Most people who own Poodles send them to a professional groomer and this can make a show clip quite expensive. Once a decision is made to no longer show the dog, the owner often decides to stop doing the show clip and allow the Poodle to transition into a pet clip.
The American Kennel Club has three show clips that are acceptable, though only one is allowable for a puppy under 12 months old. The Puppy Clip involves shaving the face, feet, throat and base of the tail;and a puppy may have their coat shaped with a scissors to give a neater appearance overall. For a Poodle puppy older than 12 months of age, the dog must sport either a Continental Clip or English Saddle Clip; these are very elaborate hairstyles that have become synonymous with Poodles. The Continental Clip is the more popular choice and involves shaving the face, throat and parts of the tail and both feet. Both the ankles, front and back, have pompoms; the upper part of the front legs are half-shaved, while the hindquarters are completely shaved, with the exception of the pompoms. An owner may select to leave two separate pompoms on an area over the hips; and the end of the tail is also clipped into a pompom. A full coat is then left over the rest of the entire body, though some shaping is allowable. The English Saddle Clip is recognized in the American Kennel Club show ring and is not very popular. This clip differs from the Continental Clip only in the hindquarters, which are not completely shaved off. In this clip there are three pompoms left on the hindquarters.
A third show clip is called the Sporting Clip, and is only permitted in the Stud Dog and Brood Bitch classes and in some non-competitive events in the AKC. In the United Kennel Club, a Sporting Clip is acceptable in conformation events. The clip involves shaving the face of the dog, the feet and base of the tail and throat also; the only pompom in this clip is left on the very tip of the tail. The rest of the Poodle coat is clipped to a length of no longer than one inch and instead of a "puffy" Poodle appearance, the coat follows the outline of the body of the dog.
