It is always best to brush a poodle and get all the tangles out before giving a bath. Once the hair is wet, it is more difficult to get the tangles out without cutting. There is a grooming tool called a mat breaker for those more difficult mats. If it is impossible to remove the mat without hurting the dog, lather up and bathe. Use a cream rinse or conditioner, and leave it in. Brush or comb the dog with the conditioner still in. Take your time, so as not to hurt the dog.

Tangles are a bunch of intermingled circular dependencies. If any object in a tangle is changed, all of the other objects in that tangle are affected. The bigger the tangle is, the more significant its negative impact will be on the rest of the system. Tangles are first candidates for refactoring. By looking at the weakest links within them, you can break them down into smaller, acyclic parts.

Toy poodles are so small that they can live in a small apartment and still have plenty of room for exercise.

It is a great idea to spay or neuter your poodle. This is helpful for preventing unwanted pregnancies and male dog marking. Be sure you have a wonderful and trustworthy vet perform the surgery. Altering a pet requires anesthesia. Small animals can get overdosed and die. Ask lots of questions about the process, and make sure you feel comfortable with your vet before allowing him or her to anesthetize your pet.

This is a tough one. Every puppy responds differently to different training styles. It all depends on how you want to train your puppy and where you want them to use the bathroom. Some people don't want to take their dogs outside to use the bathroom. Paper training and litter box training are two options for this group. Paper training involves training the puppy to go on newspaper or piddle pads (aka weewee pads or puppy pads).

Some dogs might like one treat better than another dog. You will have to do a bit of experimenting with your puppy to see what he or she likes best. The moist, meaty treats tend to go over better than the milk bone biscuits. Some people give cheese as a treat, and dogs love cheese!

There is no easy answer to this one. The average toy poodle litter size is 3-4 puppies. Teacups typically have less. Some dogs have just one puppy in a litter. The most we've ever had in a litter is five. Other breeders we know have had 6-7 puppies in a litter, but that is unusually high.

We use all-natural products that contain no chemicals or lanolin. These are especially important for dogs with allergies or sensitive skin. We do sell these same supplies, so check out our grooming section to learn more. Human-grade shampoos are not safe for your pet, as we have different pH levels than our dogs.

A poodle's hair grows, so you will need to cut it. You can trim a poodle to have just about any look you'd like. The hair on the face can be shaved entirely, left long to give them a puppy look, or left with just a mustache and beard. Some poodles are groomed to look like a Bischon Frise. Keeping them in a “show cut” is very difficult and time-consuming. Take pictures to your groomer when you start getting your puppy's coat trimmed, and show her or him what you like.

Some poodles retain their puppy teeth. If the baby teeth do not fall out, the vet must remove them. This is common in the tinier poodles. There is no way of knowing which puppies will need this done. Just watch as they get to about six months, and make sure you do not see a second row of teeth growing up. If you do, let your vet know. He or she will advise you when they need to be pulled.

That's not a preist, that's Crimson Christian, from a comic written, drawn, and self-published by Matt Williams, I just borrowed him for a crossover for an escuse to have someone quote from Army of Darkness occasionally.

Always detangle your hair before getting into the shower. Consider using jojoba or coconut oil as a leave-in conditioner. Braid it a lot, especially before going to bed. Use satin pillowcases.

The right hair product is crucial here. I recommend Aveda's Spray on, Leave on Brilliant Damage Control or Styling Curressence. These two products are ideal for combing or brushing out tangles. They are easy to use and require no rinsing. Another important factor is having the right brush. In the salon we use the "Mason Pearson" brush or Aveda Detangler comb. Begin by towel drying your hair.

Show quality dogs must be as flawless as possible. The AKC maintains information about its standards online at http://www.akc.org. We breed for pets only. We also do not line breed or inbreed, which you will find a lot in a show dog's pedigree. Some say that a show dog will have a longer nose and longer legs. We like the short babydoll face and square body of the poodles we breed. Also, show dogs tend to be as close to 10 inches as possible, while some pet quality poodles are much shorter.

First decide what size of poodle would best fit your lifestyle. Smaller poodles (teacups) might not fit as great with young children. Full-size toys or small miniatures with nice and sturdy bone structures are best for playmates in these situations. Take a look at all the different colors available, and see what you like best. Male or female should not be a big factor, as they both make great pets. It is a little pricier to have a female fixed than to have a male dog fixed.

If you're just concerned about in-between grooms, you should be fine with just a few basics. Start with shampoo and conditioner (if you wish). Combs work best for getting out tangles, and slicker brushes are less rough on a puppy and give them a nice fluffy look when you brush and blow dry them at the same time. You can use your fingers to pluck hair from the ears (or have your regular groomer or vet do this), although there are tools made especially for this task.

Our puppies range from about 1.5 to five ounces at birth. If a dog has just one puppy, that puppy will receive all the nourishment and tend to be bigger. Birth size really has nothing to do with adult weight. The more puppies in a litter, the smaller they tend to be.

It holds two mats; the first mat attaches to the front of the insert while the other attaches to the reverse side. The mats therefore attach to the insert and the insert attaches to the cover.

A peel and stick mat uses two sided tape to hold the mat to the insert. Some mats come with the tape already attached and you just peel the tape covering and use the sticky remains to mount it to the insert. Some mats come with the tape separate from the mat and you must attach it to the mat, pull the cover off the tape and then mount it to the insert. This form of mat is inserted into a base page from one of the sides, bottom or top.

The Standard Poodle is responsive, easy to train, and a reliable companion, guard and retriever. You can expect a lot of love and attention from your poodle. You will need to be prepared to go on lots of walks and offer lots of petting. This is a very intelligent dog and training is not a long and arduous task, so you can expect a very well-mannered member to your family.

No. Harlequin poodles are bred only as pets but much time and effort has gone into breeding them for good "type" and temperament.

No. There are many materials that simply would not survive the high temperatures involved in the powder coating process. Each part must be baked after it has been painted, which exposes it to temperatures in excess of 300 degrees. Wood, plastic, rubber and many other such materials would melt or burn away. Because of this, the part should be constructed with electrically conductive metal.

This will depend on exposure to the elements. South facing and, depending on location, east and/or west facing walls will require a clear maintenance coat every 3-5 years. Decks will require maintenance every 2-3 years. These maintenance intervals can be significantly increased by incorporating large to full "over the deck" roof overhangs to minimize UV exposure, rain gutters to keep rain splash off of the walls, and shrubs and trees to shade the walls.

Avoid mats that are narrower than 24" or shorter than 68". The standard mat is 24" x 68". Some inexpensive mats come folded up in boxes. I would avoid these mats as it is often difficult to get the creases out or to get them to lay flat. I would avoid buying any mat that smells funny. You are going to spend a lot of time with your face pressed into that mat.
