    In a bit of a pickle - show poodle grooming supplies delayed in delivery! matts beginning to form

    @123456christian I am a newbie but I have been getting to know the poodle people in my country. They have all been super welcoming but they don't live close to me and I don't drive. But I will certainly keep your advice in mind for plan B (I am hoping to be able to source products tonight after...

    In a bit of a pickle - show poodle grooming supplies delayed in delivery! matts beginning to form

    Sigh I am in a bit of a pickle. I have a European miniature poodle who is being prepped to make her debut in the FCI show ring this May. I had her on a schedule of weekly maintenance bath (I do all grooming myself). The last time I did this was 1 1/2 week ago, maybe even 2 weeks ago. I...

    Hi! I’m hoping to get some judgement-free assistance regarding getting a puppy from a breeder for the first time

    @definedbytruth yeah but responsible breeders did not raise their price, it was only the dodgy ones. But the waiting lists were longer. I went on a waiting list in spring 2020 and took my puppy home in autumn 2021. I don't know if waiting lists have gone back to normal in Europe. I think it...

    @guevaraj I think its old advice from before dog shampoos were improved. I use doglyness which is a European brand but I have also heard good things about chris christensen, plush puppy etc. You want to get a leave in conditioner and dilute it with water in a spray bottle to help with brushing.

    Hi breeders, future buyer here. Maybe you can help with my question about “health guarantee”

    @alaydealways Where is she from? health guarantees are not always the norm in many places in Europe. I did not get one and I did get a puppy from a very reputable breeder. Also websites are not as common, indeed breeders have migrated away from websites to just being on social media. At least...

    Is it overkill to pay 3500 for a well health tested puppy from a show breeder when I’m not into showing?

    @mainechild I got my little poodle from a show breeder but I dont show. I dont regret it for a minute. She has a fantastic temperament and her correct conformation enables her to be amazingly athletic. She moves so beautifully. People literally stop and stare at her.
