Soft and cuddley like a big teddy bear. Only bouncey like a Mexican jumping bean! Even though they are plush and silky, they are a terrier with all the terrier kill instincts. If you choose to live with a Wheaton be prepared for the terrier attitude and BIG sloppy wet kisses.

Poodles are divided into THREE groups. The division is determined by their height at their whithers. Toys are not taller than 10 inches and Miniatures are between 10 and 15 inches. 

Abbey has been with me a long time. She is my only Scottie client.

A short film of littles ones playing.

 Tutu & Lilly

Little Tutu is a papillion. I think a shih tzu must have gotten into the mix somewhere. She is the tiniest dog I groom. She probably weighs 3 pounds. She is a very active dogs and has problems keeping mat-free. These are her many looks.

It’s like magic! What a beauty! She’s waiting by the door in hopes of going home, but “her spot” is on the couch.

Clients who know me, Know I am bias toward std poodles.

The “man of my life” was a Standard Poodle. I LOVE them. Here’s my boy Nicoli. (He passed away suddenly Nov 3rd 2008.) He was my traveling dog. I took him on my vacations because he was so well behaved and I didn’t have to worry about him being carried off for a snack. I loved his cute little butt. That is why I always loved to put him in a continental haircut every spring. Like his haircut in this painting. 

 Miss Lucy loved being able to keep a look out for her mama. (we don’t have the window in the grooming area in the latest shop) She is a little old lady, but you wouldn’t know it when you see her jump into the tub. She used to come to my house with her brother Miles for their grooming.

 

 

 

 Leo the braveheart reminds me of the lion from wizard of oz. He is such a big hunk of love. He is anxious about his grooming but he bucks up just to get through it. He seems to love all the compliments after its all done. He’s one handsome dude! 

 

 

 Ginger “Gingina” is one BIG mama. Her tail doesn’t stop wagging. She loves the socializing but not the grooming. She looks at me the whole time as if to say, ” Are we done yet?” We are both lucky that she doesn’t have much hair and doesn’t take very long to groom.

Kilty is a special old man. He has been following me around for years. I know my day will be a good one when I see him on the books!
