The MOST EXPENSIVE groom | Guess this breed of dog 

I didn't like Boston....until I met violet she was the sweetest most LOVABLE baby 💜 I miss her

Poodles originated as a breed used for hunting around water! And that stupid lion cut originated as a streamlined design to help them swim faster. Personally, I like them in a generic even-length puppy cut. Poodles are ridiculously clever, too, in the top ten breeds for working intelligence. We have a cockerdoodle in the family and he's a very funny character who knows he's a person and will join in your conversations (especially if you mention cheese). :D

Standard poodles are really an underappreciated breed. They're the kind of dog you don't truly appreciate until you own/work with them.

@@suitov you mention carrots around my dog and she runs to the fridge.

Poodles are high key chill, as are most curly haired beings.

Same LOL but I have years of experience taking care of poodles and that's basically cheating on the guessing game

That what I was thinking, I’m not familiar with dog breeds but my first thought was that this dog was a poodle 🐩😂

exactly!! lol

I feel like she meant it as the stereotypical poodle you see in dog shows lol

she means a poodle with the funny looking cut

Show cut vs standard cut. You saw no pom-poms on this dog, but yeah most poodles have that curly hair.

I agree. But I think she meant the ridiculous poodle cut. I t looks just like a poodle to me too!

Lmao same

I agree 💯💯

Not an expert but obviously a poodle.

I thought Portuguese water dog - still think it looks more Portuguese water dog than poodle after the groom lol

I figured poodle was too obvious so I went with a poodle mix...

Portuguese water dog Bichon frise Poodle are the curly dogs i know

I own a golden doodle that looks just like this dog.

I have 2 poodles,

ikr!

Can't recall where I read or heard it from, but someone was saying most dog lovers just actually really love their own dogs. Upon thinking about it, I realized I'm one of those: I don't wish any animal harm and would help a dog in distress, but I only really love my boy. I know I don't have the patience to get a job dealing with either animals or children.

i will say poodle usually tend to be a fairly easy breed to groom behavior wise. Poodles have to start VERY young and be groomed on a regular basis. I groom mine myself every 3-6 weeks (Depends on the season, I let the coat grow out in the winter). They quickly have to adapt and get used to grooming because of how EXTREMLY high maintainace their coat is. I spent months perfecting my poodle cut before realizing I hate how it looks on my dog. I just do a standard flat buzz, less work, less fru fru and so much easier to maintain.

Such smart dogs

I think she's mentioned it before, but she also does things that she doesn't put in the videos, like expressing anal glands (she has shown ear cleaning, so you should have some idea that there's often more to it than what she does with the fur/hair). And yeah, that not a pleasant thing to have to do. So, if you weren't thinking about that ... well, sorry that you are now, but it's important to realize that she's doing some really icky stuff as well as the hard work involved in washing/combing/trimming the dog's hair.

@@Botfodder2 what on earth does expressing anal glands mean???

Also, it's unlikely that you'll bite your stylist, or have an "accident" in the chair!

@@hi-ve1cw there is a gland in the dog's anus that i think is their "scent gland" ie: the reason why dogs smell each other's butts. it creates and releases the "scent discharge" in some mucousy form, that rubs off as their poo exits, and sometimes it manages to get clogged where the gland cannot discharge properly. this can produce swelling as the gland continues creating more mucous while the previous amount has been unable to exit the gland due to a clog of some sort. this can eventually result in the dogs anal gland rupturing and being quite dangerous and painful to the dog. a lot of groomers make it a habit to carefully squeeze the gland to get out any mucous buildup that may exist before it becomes a problem. most owners dont even know that this gland exists.

@@shoyrushoyru wow that's really amazing and really gross. I now know I never want to be a dog groomer haha

I have a similar haired dog that is 5 years old, I trained him to behave similarly, and I can tell you, he doesn't know what's going on and he hates it 🤡

A lot of poodles are like this when being groomed especially if you get them from a good breeder who starts desensitization at 3 weeks. Its important to do because grooming takes up a big part of their life, they have to go every 4-6 weeks sometimes 6-8 it all depends on whether or not you decide to keep up on maintenance like your supposed to or the type of cut you pup gets. I have a standard poodle and she goes every 6 weeks she's a service dog so I make sure she looks clean and put together. They're a beautiful breed all around!

Right! He actually seems to be enjoying most of the process. ^~^

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

@@kuza3991 go to hell

My granny had a standard poodle named Rennie. I was 7 when he died ( I can still remember him),

Yeah, it's the sterotypically snooty Humans that have been associated with the elegant, intelligent, highly trainable (etc.) standad poodle, that have put a damper on the general view of them (IMO). My elderly father had one until recently and she was truly a "lady" that could jump like a gazelle, and an honorary service dog (so patient and gentle and happy )to my mother's dementia facility (rest in peace Mom )

Yep, they were originally hunting dogs that were bred to hunt water fowl. The patches of fur left on the traditional poodle cut were left to keep certain areas of the body warm when they would dive into the water to retrieve birds that were killed in the water. They also have webbed feet for swimming. I used to have a poodle mix. She was the sweetest, smartest, and most protective dog. I used to take her to a park with a small lake and she would go crazy trying to chase after the ducks. She didn't care about squirrels or cats all that much and left my smaller animals alone, but she was obsessed with ducks, true to her breed.

It's amazing how silly we humans can make a dog look. Pink hair dye tends to have that effect.😁

@@spectralumbra1568 Poodles are among the smartest breeds!

All those old cartoons that portrayed them as snooty French women, are to blame.

Poodles are amazing pets and very well behaved I have 2 poodles myself 1 white and 1 red. Once I saw him I knew that it was a standard poodle and I was correct.

My poodle is well behaved

@@TheHuntrchic mine bark a lot and don’t like baths.

poodles don't loose hairs means that you brush them every day or they getting matted. Also you must groom poodles every months. It's a routine for poodles that the reason why the so calm. But poodles are a very expensive dog for the owners.

@@anaa6573 I'm sorry

I said this in another post, but its more than likely because of just how often poodles have to be groomed that they get used to it. To keep a healthy coat while preventing matting of the hair they need to be groomed every 3-6 weeks. They go so often they get used to it from a very young age.

Poodles totally love looking good!

400

Most poodles aren’t kept in a continental tbh. There are SO many options with how versatile their coat is

It was just such a pity hus face ended so hairy !

@@sarahbasto6520 My thoughts too...poodles have beautiful faces. Shame that so many people want to hide them behind a bunch of hair (which will inevitably become dirty after a day or two and be a massive pain to maintain).

@@kikiseo Yup. With all of the drool and eye gunk that dogs can accumulate, it's best to at least shorten the face and mouth

@@sarahbasto6520 I like them with hairy faces

that is SOooooo true about the Standard Poodle. I have several. They need to "meet and greet" every person they see. Very gregarious dogs. They are sweet tempered and have a sense of humor.

Standards are literally everyone's best friend, some people just need the poodle to remind them lol

My exact thought process throughout the video. The only other guess I had was a poodle-schnauzer-mix, but I wasn't convinced lol. Tbf I have a mini poodle who I also groom in the teddy bear way and people always ask which breed he is. On top of his cut he is a harlekin (black and white) which confuses people even more, because many people don't know that there are multicolored poodles

A lot of people know what a poodle looks like now because of how many people own golden and labradoofles

@@LeaRahelsRezensionen for a bit I was like, there's no way she's hyping up having people try to guess only for it to be a poodle, that's the EASIEST guess, what else is it?? Maybe a water dog? I've seen some water dogs with that fur consistency... "He is a standard poodle, not all of them have to look like poodles" WH WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE A POODLE???

My thought too. I thought she was trying to trick us and I was wondering if Cider was a Kerry Blue Terrier or a Portuguese Water Dog (I will say he really does look like one in his before picture)

​@@LeaRahelsRezensionen i went down the exact same trajectory: "obvs poodle surely -- or wait maybe not given we're not meant to know -- err -- poodle-schnauzer mix maybe -- no, come on, it's a damn poodle"

“…while you were cutting around his face”.

@@Arcticfox7 I edited it just for you!

@Ruth Esther I’m curious, is your screen name in reference to the Bible? If so, those are some of my favorite books in the Bible after Job.

@Ruth Esther do you mind if I get your email?

@@kyiatonise I didn’t expect that, very diplomatic of you. You’re awesome. Do you have a pet? Mine’s a chocolate Springer Doodle, she is almost 2.

Yep its always why they are so often crossbred with other breeds. Poodles hair tends to be a dominate trait resulting in doodles with the same type of hair.

I love the continental cut, it's a lot of work to keep up with but I love the fluff! They were originally bred as hunting dogs and the hair poofs were meant to protect their joints from the impact of water.

I think you have this backwards. The dog is very lucky to have owners who properly socialized him.

@@poopy_fingers3324 what

All dog owners are lucky to have their dogs ❤️🐕🐾💕

@@wjjshfbfbeb2855 the dog doesn’t come perfect and loving they have to train him and make him comfortable with people and animals.

@@wjjshfbfbeb2855 if you have an asshole dog, you can most certainly chalk that up to the owner. If you have a nice dog, you can mostly certainly chalk that up to the owner.

He certainly looks like a poodle who doesn't have the standard poodle cut (which is popular lately because a standard poodle can look a lot like a Labradoodle but costs significanty less)

All I needed was the title and thumbnail 😝

It could be a bouvier

@@princesssprinklesthecat4192 no it couldn’t

Same

I'm so sorry for your loss but happy she had a loving home. 😇💕

Well-put! I agree! 🤓

The goodest boi!

I think the dog must get groomed frequently, so he's used to it.

Yes, I actually forgot there was a dog/under all that fluff. He was so still!

Same. They have the cutest feet. I’d love a grinch feet/paw pad compilation.

@@MarieAmicalola I agree

@@MarieAmicalola yess!! plsss

Oh my god yes especially when the grinch feet are like half a foot of toe hair (elderly golden retrievers always have the longest grinch feet)

YES EXACTLY! I follow Blair Braverman, a Musher, on Twitter. One of her funniest dogs is named Grinch, & the shenanigans he gets himself into are a treat. Whenever I know the “Grinch Feet” is imminent, I think of that total goofball. It’s the highlight of my day.

Free the beans!

I'm not a pet groomer, but I do have 2 poodles and a doodle.....At $300 a month for the three of them (and thats on the low end) I taught myself very very quickly. I just watched RU-vid videos and practiced and practiced until I got it right. Those first few months they looked haggard as hell with their hair cuts but now its just great!

Aw, that's such a nice story!

@@LMCSM yes its very nice 👍

:( aw that sounds so great I wish my library had something like that Im glad you are better at speaking in front of people now

I red that as the dog red you books

you made this up

Absolutely. They're some of the most laid-back dogs I've ever met, and insanely smart on top of that. Poodle mixes tend to introduce some wild unpredictability as far as temperament and allergy-friendliness - I know at least one goldendoodle that is basically all golden and no doodle. And on the other end of the spectrum, we had a cockapoo that physically was a miniature poodle but had all the jealous temperament of a cocker spaniel. Woe betide you if you came home smelling of another dog.

Doodles are mostly backyard bred and have health/behavioral problems. If you want any curly furred dog, just get a poodle! There should’ve never been a stigma against them as pompous or anything. It’s so bad that any standard people that doesn’t have the stereotypical fro cut are often mistaken for “doodles”.

I noticed that too!

my ex's aunt didn't train hers properly so it was a very annoying dog. not the dogs fault but moreso the owner

Biggest disadvantage of getting a poodle is the coat groom costs actually! My grandma learned to do it herself just to save some extra cash and ended up grooming all the dogs in the poodle breeding club.

I just don't see why the folks influenced by the doodle craze don't just get a poodle.

My gramps had a poodle. We called him brandy, he was a violent dog. He seemed to have short term memory loss because every time he saw me, he barked. He bit me a couple of times. He's the reason why I was afraid of dogs for most of my childhood. Btw I lived in my grandparent's house during my childhood, so whenever I would go to get something out of the fridge or come home from school, the dog was always terrifying.

@@CarrotFlowers421 they think poodles are too effeminate. The continental cut is what everything thinks yet this was a functional cut for water fowl retrieval. Yet all the designer dogs are bred with poodles and look like poodles and behave like poodles. Weird.

My second-guessing self thought he could be a Bouvier des Flandres mix, too.

My second-guessing had me thinking Portuguese Water Dog.

That was me too. Second guessing but went back to a poodle.

Yeah my dog is 3/4 poodle and 1/4 lab and the only part that gives away she may not be a poodle is a part of her snoot and her tail, so most people who aren’t actually looking looking just assume she’s a poodle. But I’ve gotten good at telling the doodles from the poodles. I started second guessing that maybe this was a super bred back doodle that was like 1/16 lab or something and the rest poodle. Cause I was like “wait, I know that isn’t a 50/50 doodle or even a 75/25. Maybe it’s a different breed entirely??”

Smallest variety of poodles is called Toy Poodle! From what I’ve gathered, “teacup” is just a cute label to put on puppies who are the runt of the litter, born too early, or malnourished (sometimes deliberately) and therefore smaller and less developed than they should be. Not trying to lecture you or anything..! I just don’t like the craze over “teacup” dogs... and I just love Toy poodles! I used to groom my Toy myself, super fun to be able to try out different styles, hehe.

@@OrangeMilks You're absolutely right about "teacup" breeds. Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous dog breeders and sellers out there. Although I believe the majority of breeders are good and decent and have the animals' best interests at heart.

Believe it or not the "prissy poodle cut" had its purpose back in the day. The poodle is the original hunting dog and that way of grooming it was to protect the joints from the cold and ice. Much like the Labrador, the poodle is a very strong hunter.

Poodle cuts only look good on a poodle.

@@ashleybrown5883 I know several hunting poodles and they all have a basic kennel clip. The show cut is exaggerated and impractical

I have one black and one apricot right now (both "fixed"). The black one is almost impossible to photograph -- she's just a silhouette with a tongue!

Ohhh Apricot are rare, very nice! My mom bred teacup and later then miniature Poodles. She also had a male & female Chocolate but sold the male for stud. We kept the Chocolate female as a pet, she was so CHILL ❤

@@calliarcale LOL

Apricot is a beautiful color 😍

Goes to look up Apricot poodles. LOL

Or giants!

I thought they were an Irish water spaniel, the brown markings around his muzzle made me think that.

“Pawrent”

Lol 😂

@MasterZen this comment is so amazing. The fact that you got triggered by such a well meaning comment and you spelled English wrong. Just amazing 👏

lmao how old are you dude

Cider**** tf

Oh yeah. It's a real trial. I decided to learn how to spin so I could make yarn out of my poodles' hair, and holy cow has that been an education. Poodle hair, it turns out, may resemble sheep's wool, but it is infinitely worse to try and spin because of its tendency to mat. It mats if you even look at it funny. Carding it was a nightmare, and I had to throw away about half of the doggy fleece because the mats were just impossible. I learned lessons I will employ on the next spring "shearing", like don't do pure poodle -- blend it with wool or something -- but man, now I understand. I also belatedly learned that professional spinners who do "chiengora" (dog hair yarn) either charge extra for poodle or flat out refuse to touch it. It's that much of a pain. Worth it, though, for keepsakes that we'll cherish when they're gone. ;-)

@@calliarcale Wow, thanks for this interesting bit of information!

*LMAO he definitely DOES look like a poodle doesn't he Jenny?!*

I also thought he really did look like a poodle, especially at the end when he got the teddy bear cut that is common for poodles to get!

It made me second guess myself lol My family likes our poodles close shaved, so I’m used to skinny poodle faces

I thought he was just another doodle. Every poodle at the shop I work at has owners that want a tight face. A couple of them get a top knot as well. All of our doodles get this look, in varying lengths and with a slightly tighter face usually

apparently, a lot of people think that poodles all have those traditional haircuts. seems lacking in common sense to me But

😁👍

Yo, someone who thought of Portuguese Water Dog (I said Spaniel instead of Dog) 😁

Even I thought it was the Portugese Water Dog.

That's what I thought, when his hair was long he looked like Bo Obama, so I thought PWD

Poodles are the French/German water dog, and are supposed to be the nearest relative to the Portuguese and Spanish water dogs, so it totally makes sense that they look so similar!

@@kmcalary Yes, Bo Obama 😄 I was thinking of that dog

I was trying to decide what he was mixed with ________doodle? she wasn't telling us so we thought no way it's a standard.

Me too!! 🤣🤣🤣

Yes I saw Cider and was like Oh yeah a poodle and then she was saying she would be saying at the end and I was like Hmmm Ummm???? Still looks like a standard poodle to me? May be a mix???

Omg I just created a comment like this one. So true

Same

I like how people mistake a overpriced mutt that's usually 75% poodle for anything but a poodle.

Well the Portuguese Water Dog looks very similar to a black poodle his size that’s why

I figured it was mostly poodle, but thought it might be a labradoodle.

@@jimland4359 Labradoodles aren't usually that large and they typically have the stocky lab body. But yeah, at a glance they look like poodles.

Poodles actually aren’t hypoallergenic, neither are doodles. They might not shed like most dogs but they still produce dander and allergens that will flair up allergies

@@ciani2396 I think most people understand hypoallergenic to mean “less allergenic” rather than “allergy free”. My wife is quite allergic to most dogs (including most doodles) but has had zero issues with our standard poodle

Same, had an uncle who had a standard poodle that pretty much looked identical to this one, so that was my first thought as well, though that didn't explain the mystery part

I've seen lots of people in other channels assume all dogs with this cut are doodles. I'm not surprised a dog grooming channel has so many people who know what an actual poodle looks like!

Well he has really nice fur tight fur. We use to have poodles and we just kept them in a puppy clip instead of show type clip. I think what make this dog look like something else is all the fur on his nose when that is normally more shaved down.

​@@MM-jf1meWhat is decieving for most people is how there is so much fur around the nose. That is usually shaved down so people are use to seeing the long nose and this look sort does make him look like he is mixed with something. However the rest of him including that nice tight fur say poodle. If the owners just brush him everyday for 10 minutes she would not have needed 4 hours grooming him either. Dog like this really need to be brushed everyday. In fact all dogs should be brushed even short hair dogs. It help get lose fur off, massage the skin, help find and exam for fleas and tick and help with bonding. If you start early most dogs do not mind being brushed andsee it as a good thing especially when they get a yummy treat afterwards.

@@JAM661 I love the look of a shaved poodle snout and I love the look of the overgrown Muppet snout -- it just really bothers me when I see a neglected dog like this one. It's really sad how matted she was. I wish more owners took matting seriously, as the potentially dangerous neglect it is (e.g., when it starts pulling on skin, collects and holds urine or fecal matter close to the dog's skin, hides parasites, etc.).

Hello 👋

Pleasant to read!

They're incredibly smart dogs - probably would make the top of the list in dog intelligence tests if they weren't looking specifically for dogs that are willing to please and easily trainable. Because poodles are neither - they are stubborn, independent, and do not like being ordered around. They're liable to train you more than you train them if you're not meticulously careful, and they can and will outsmart you on a regular basis. That said, most of them I've had or met were also very sweet-natured and friendly, and really didn't like getting their ire up. They mostly went along to get along unless you were doing something they really didn't like. In fact, the only "poodle" I've had problems with was a cocker spaniel-miniature poodle mix that had horrendous jealousy issues and would throw a snit if she smelled another dog on you.

@@vicroc4 I don’t know where you’ve heard that poodles were independent and not eager to please? They’re extremely people oriented. They can be stubborn, but they can also be extremely biddable.. And they are ranked the #2 most intelligent breed I have no idea what you’re talking about.

I was just gonna say! But I also live in Sweden where it tends to be kinda cold so I always thought that was the reason for keeping some length to the hair. And btw wouldn't "Pleasantly Pissed-off" be a great sticker/shirt/merch of some kind?! I would LOVE to wear a hoodie with that stamped on!

I love this! There are people deserving of shame trust me but in my practice when ppl feel badly for neglecting the dogs grooming I say you know what we are fixing that today. If they are matted I give them the best possible haircut and if I have to go real short I call it a wellness haircut then afterwards we can start growing and going for the style. I have seen some pretty awful things when I worked at salons. I had a wonderful yellow lab that this guy inherited. It was the worst deshed I’ve ever done. The dog was an older dog. In hindsight I wish I offered to take him. He was so sweet and loving and I did everything I could to have them call me again but I could see they didn’t care and lord knows where he wound up. But I love your astute observation and agree it’s not appropriate to shame ppl

Well, I do blame the owners for not brushing him out and being too cheap to pay for a cut more often. Either do it yourself, or pay, or get another breed. I have no sympathy for owners who expect the groomer to fix all issues in one session. Its like the parents of a wild child expecting the teacher to fix their kid. Ridiculous and shameful!

@@mjremy2605 yeah and nurses know that when a person comes in with an asshole haemorrhoid 6 inches wide that its that person's fault. they still treat them.

Same lol I was like “maybe an Irish water spaniel” 😂

My thought was "he's definitely gotta be part poodle. If he's not, I'll eat a dog treat 🤣"

I was thinking "he looks like a poodle but that's probably too obvious, maybe he's a big spanish water dog", glad to see I wasn't the only one lol

Omg- I thought the same "duh that's a poodle...." then I thought that's too obvious and maybe he's got some Portuguese Water Dog in there....

yeah it looks like a poodle dont know why it was supposed to be a big reveal. She had me over thinking it so i guessed labradoodle.

Yea seemed too good to be a doodle lol

@@Kugrox I think the reveal was because so many people only know of toy/miniature poodles

Looks exactly like the standard poodle that lives next door! He really changed my opinion of poodles
