Jingle Bell Bark
“Preparations for all three Standard Poodles began midweek and would continue right up until the moment we entered the ring to be judged. Of necessity, any time that wasn’t devoted to my job or to Davey was spent grooming.
I began the process by clipping Eve. Black Poodles have white skin; conversely, most white Poodles have black skin. In clipping for the show ring, a surgical blade is used, and the unwanted hair is removed entirely. Black Poodles are always clipped early to allow time for a sh...een of dark hair to grow back so that the dog appears to be one continuous color. White Poodles are clipped late so that the flashy contrast between light hair and dark skin is highlighted.
Eve’s feet were done on Wednesday. Thursday evening, I clipped her hindquarter and face. The former was an exacting job, as this was the first time Eve would be shown in the continental trim, and although I’d set the lines in July when she turned a year old, Eve had been away from the show ring since. This was the first time my efforts were going to be judged.MoreLess
