Poodles had a weird stereotype in the 80s about being prissy fancy dogs but in real life they're strong and brave and smart doggies. I love them.
Yeah, most of them aren't fancy at all, they love sports like agility and dock diving/ swimming. I show mine and yet she'll still race around like a nutter. The best dogs
My bichon's best friend was a brown standard from down the road, named Dillon, who was dumb as a box of rocks and about six times the size of her. We miss him very much.
The way you combed through the top of Kachina's head reminds me of how my Mom combed my hair when I was a kid. Gotta get those knots out!
@@lilyfox313 Fun Fact: they were bred to be water retrievers. Poodle comes from the german for Puddle.
That's where Georgette in Oliver and Company comes from :).
Kachina put her paw out like ‘Gurrrrl, stap!’ 🤣❤️❤️
😂😂😂Yes indeed!!!
Like “no…no…no”
“Like, no. Seriously, stop” 😂
We have 2 black standards that do this. This is their "No, I am done now, thank you very much"
I thought the same thing haha
I realized the other day that I see more breeds mixed with poodles than I do actual standard poodles. 😂
Because they're one of the most intelligent breeds, not prone to many heath problems & considered Hypo-allergenic. My father had one. She was so elegant, jumped like a gazelle and an honorary service animal. As she spent time most days at a place for elders with dementia. If my dad (rest well dad) showed up sometimes without her. They let him know their displeasure. She was loved by resident and staff. SHe only lived 13 years but maybe that was because she lovingly gave her all ~
I realized this before they started calling the mixes doodles. I use to think if you got all these poodle mixes you have to have a bunch of poodles. Never seen a pure standard poodle on the streets only at the groomer. No matter the size i never see a pure bred poodle. 😮
We have a miniature and I grew up with a standard (although my wife and I have had dogs of several breeds, too). Every time we take Sophie for a walk, everyone says, “oh, what a cute doodle”. To which we say, nope, a poodle…the original. We can’t figure out what the attraction is for a Frankindoggie. What’s wrong with a poodle? The only things we can say is that the “doodle craze” is just that. Also, I think some people just want a dumbed-down dog. Sorry, just can’t see the plus side of getting a hybrid.@@TyraDavis_
@beautifulbre2688 I have a standard poodle and I rarely ever see standard poodles anywhere. The are always mixed. I do think people get the wrong impression about them. Max is nothing like I thought he would be. When he was younger he was very hyper. I still call him a clown in stilettos. He can be smart but most times not and very playful even at 10 years old.
I see a lot of golden doodles! They have the color of a golden retriever and the curly fur like the poodle. 😊 They are such beautiful dogs.
I don’t understand why people doodle everything when poodles represent all the things they want in a doodle. I agree they are underrated
PREACH
Kachina looks like she's wearing winter boots and a warm hat, it's quite adorable 😊❤
I think the clip is called ‘jacket and pants’ haha
@@caveworld7849 The Russian look
I always thought the same thing Melissa Harris said. It reminds me of a Russian hat and boots.
The ushanka hat ahahahhaa it was the first thing that came to my mind when she cut Kachina's hair like that. Pretty funny and cute ❤❤❤
It's like shearing a sheep! What a thick coat. I love poodles. They're intelligent, personable canines.
That was because she was so matted, unfortunately.
That’s exactly what I said!
Poodles shouldn't be like shearing a sheep, they should be brushed out. She groomed another poodle that was brushed out, his coat came off much nicer
I was on a hike not long ago and met a fellow hiker with a standard poodle. As we were talking, the poodle stood up on his rear legs and hugged me. No jumping, no dancing, he just stood perfectly still, hugging me, until his owner made him get down. I’m in love.
My step-mother has owned poodles for a while and they have always been huggers. Her current poodle loves jumping up and resting her front paws on me, just staying there. It’s a trait that I have never seen in other breeds and it’s absolutely delightful
@@2rad2paytaxes I know! It was my first poodle hug - absolutely delightful!
They are huggers. Mine does that too.
@@l.j.7540 It was so cool!
I particularly love her super power to add an extra meter in length to her legs when she tries to stop you from blow drying her 😂
Their power to "nno" is so typical :D My guy does the same!
That is a TALL poodle, and that's coming from the owner of two very leggy standards. Pretty sure she is part giraffe
She was very tolerant. Amazing dog. I didn't realize how in depth the grooming process is for these dogs.
They do take a lot of maintenance. Worth it in my opinion though
They go through some crap for all few peoples vanity, gorgeous dogs when all finished but right before a groom they look like mad mountain monsters full of much and twigs. I love a good functional cut that makes the dog happy and I sound awful but unless it's for shows I dislike all the arty farty cuts
@@SupportMensMentalHealth I love the poodle cuts, you can do so much! And you're not awful for disliking them, it's an opinion and a valid one at that. I've seen comments that they look silly or that they must feel embarrassed or get made fun of, which just isn't true. I appreciate the art of them, especially the show cuts as they're gorgeous
@@SupportMensMentalHealth exactly. What a load of nonsense to put a dog through an entire salon treatment. Human vanity extraordinaire...
@@lilyfox313 some of the show cuts are stunning, my mum was one of those older ladies who wanted the stereotypical fifi thing on her poodle no matter whatever the weather/season and I did feel a bit for him sometimes. I worked in a groomers for a while and I was amazed at how many fancy and or functional cuts there are for poodles. Such sweet dogs, I wanted a standard when I was a kid, now I've a deerhound and a lurcher but my true love are greyhounds. I still have to think hard if the offer ever came up though
Kachina is an easy-going girl. She can play so happily despite having a bad hair day 🤣😂😆😁
😂😂😂
I don't quite understand the 'hair day' concept, and dictionary is only making me more confused. Is bad hair day a day when your hair is messed up, after sleep for example, or is it day when you got your hair done, and you didn't like the way it's done?
@@bamf7286 a bad hair day is when you've tried to do your hair and you still look like a hot mess. 😂
@@bamf7286 "a day when you feel that you do not look attractive, especially because of your hair, and everything seems to go wrong"
omg! the leg warmers, the huge teddy bear paws, the fur hat!! I love Kachina's haircut, and if I saw her on the street I would have to stop and say hello.
You said it for me!
Kachina’s long front legs make her look like a Muppet as she reaches to swat at the dryer. I almost expected to see a little stick or thick wire manipulating her arms as she reached.
Great job, as always, Vanessa! It must be a relief to know just what to expect out of your workday, and having her tire out your dog is a real plus!
Poodles are quite expressive. My poodle although a tiny toy poodle will do the same, curling his toes around my hand to get my attention.
She is being incredibly good about her grooming
Especially with the amount of matting, that was awful! That's poodles for you though
I'm more amazed wet they look so different and more like a typical dog, without the fluff.
I lost my standard poodle in 2019. I still miss her everyday. These dogs are the best…they would never think of rolling in something stinky and their sense of humor is amazing.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a toy, they really are amazing dogs
Never roll in something stinky? You have not heard of Otter, Bunny's brother! lol
My beautiful senior standard girl would not run to roll in something stinky but I know several of her progeny have a propensity for finding skunks, especially their business end, and her great-grandson would GLADLY throw himself into stinky stuff all while wondering why I am freaking out lol
Never? My neighbor has a delightful apricot standard who has an absolutely uncanny ability to find the stinkiest messes to roll around in and be absolutely thrilled about it afterward.
I’m sorry for your loss, it’s never easy to cope with this part of life. I miss my poodles every day, still….it’s been decades since they passed 😔
2:57 The way she slightly raised her head as if to say "That's quite enough of this tube thing, thank you very much"...I love it.
Absolutely beautiful! If I remember correctly; Kachina means “sacred dancer” and boy does she look ready for the dance floor! Such a well behaved girl too! 🥰
9/10! Her "Hey, hey, stop that" during the drying was very cat-like. Quite believable.
We have a rescued Aussiedoodle (crazy athletic, goofy and sweet). She does that same ' throw paw' and cat-like flexibility. The grooming & brushing, has to be a regular part of the care, or mats will get out-of-control quickly.
As someone who has kinky coily hair. I wonder if you could twist this puppers hair like you do human hair.... oh man.. a doggy twist out.. ahhh... so cute!
It would depend, since a dog's fur is primarily functional, you'd have to make sure the fur is still about to do its job while looking fly it a twist out 😂
U can let th hair grow, & have it corded" , like a puli, or komondorr, & can be shown corded, .. but doesn't give th elegant show cut, Th Continental
I absolutely adore the look of corded poodles.
Yes, poodles can wear twists but you’ll have to secure them at the end, they can also wear various braids including cornrows.
They're called corded poodles, when you give them twists.
The polite paw on the nozzle! How cute!
I love how (relatively) politely she was like “no thank you” with blow dryer.
My white poodle thought she was the master of seagull hunting and use to roll in their bird shit before sneeking up on them... well, she never caught any.❤
With ours, it was Goose Poop! He must have thought it was cologne, or something.
I have a Yorkie poodle that loves to roll in bird poo when we go to the park. 🤦♀️ like what on earth is that about. They must know something we don't lol. She's the most amazing dog though. I have mostly poodle mix dogs and they are the best dang dogs ever ❤❤ 🐩🐩🐩
@@bellaapple2166 most dogs will roll in dead, carrion, .. goes back to wolves to hide their scent, from predators , like bears, cougar/ mountain lion..
Vanessa.. thanks to you, I didn't get scared of the 1st Rottweiler that I meet in real life. Gracy was friendly, super energetic & pulled her walker past me as it was her evening playtime, sort of a quick Hi & Bye. Her walker was holding her away from me thinking I would be scared but I called him so that I could see this beauty from close, after seeing Binky in your earlier video.
Good on you! Most dogs (of any breed) are nothing to be feared, but it's some of those rotten humans making dogs foul, and making people develop a fear of (some) dogs. It's good that you overcame your fear. Keep it up!
I'm so proud of you!! :^)
That's sooo awesome!!!
That's terrific!
Aww, I'm so happy you got to meet one of these giant babies! They don't know they look scary, and mine actually get their feelings hurt when strangers don't want to love on them haha!
I love her, she's so polite! She just sort of placed her hands on the blow dryer like 'no please!'
I love Katchina's little turnaround when she saw the cameraman. She was like 'SERIOUSLY?! You're going to record me looking like this?! I'm a mess!' Also, Lupa whining because she wants Katchina to be done so they can play some more is adorable.
Agree that poodles are so underrated. So smart. She's adorable.
So underrated, so often seen as the other half of a doodle to make it hypoallergenic. So sad, no need to make doodles when you already have poodles
@@lilyfox313 Doodles are such a crapshoot - some are great, but a lot of them have temperament issues that are difficult to address. At least with a poodle, you can be pretty sure of what you're getting.
@@vicroc4 Exactly. You can't predict temperament or coat type, so if you get a good one you're lucky. Some are really nice and I love them, but others are neurotic and mat if you so much as look at them wrong. Poodles are everything people want in a doodle apart from the cut, because a concerning number of people think they are born with a clean face and feet
@@vicroc4 big part of the issue there is all the reckless backyard breeding and incest. Since they aren’t a real breed there’s no standards or regulations compared to purebred poodles either. Not to mention the coat issues that come from combining two very different and kinda high maintenance coat types. I’ve not got a poodle yet but I’m certain I will in future. Not only do I have allergies they should be good to avoid, but just in general they seem like the perfect dogs for me. So easy to find reputable breeders around where I live too.
My toy poodle Finley just turned 14 and is still going strong. She's honestly been a great dog with very few health issues. She's too smart for her own good sometimes lol. She's trained me more than I've trained her.
Mine is like that too! Far too smart, knows how to outsmart me!
My abuela's toy poodle is almost 14 as well!! Little dude keeps going i swear
Happy belated birthday Finley! 🥳
Poodles like to do that. I'm pretty sure they'd top the chart on doggy intelligence if the test took into account their rather unique personalities.
My little guy is a chihuahua, miniature poodle, Pomeranian, dachshund mix. Aside from some seriously selective hearing, stubbornness and big dog sized attitude from time to time, he’s my little dude and has been for over 16 years (he’s 17 and we rescued him from the puma and coyotes when he was about 8 months old). We like to say he has been social distancing since the day he was born and lives on piss and vinegar.
Best dog I ever had was a poodle. She was so loving, sweet, intelligent, funny, fiercely protective and loyal to the end. I miss her so much 🥺❣️
I always think of John Steinbeck's Travels With Charlie when I see a standard poodle. Great dogs.
Wow. She is the most well behaved dog I've ever seen. She looks beautiful. Nice work.
That's poodles for you, I've groomed quite a few and they always behave for grooming
Poodles are generally good for grooming for two reasons. They are super smart, and they are trained to be groomed as soon as they have all their vaccinations. Unless you know how to groom them yourself they have to go at least every 8 weeks, or it would be cruel.
Probly bcz was started grooming early . Reputable breeders, start introducing clippers on face, feet, early as 4 wks. & done often . Tho this dog isn't from a show breeder, as their tails get docked, to be shown .
Lupa is growing up so fast 😍
I cant believe how big Lupa has gotten! I feel like she was just a tiny nugget yesterday 😭
We also had a black standard poodle girl, the best dog you could ever want. She been gone for 40 years and we still miss her.
I love poodles. Beautiful and highly intelligent - what more could you want? Kachina was so patient for her spa day!! She's lovely. I'm glad Kachina and Lupa got to play together. 🥰
What more could you want? Nothing. Poodles are perfection!
@@lilyfox313 yes, idk know what th appeal. is about doodle s..? Don't like the hairy faces, as most prefer, but u can give it a poodle clip, or whatever else
@@Memow-pk1ng I also don't know what the fuss is over doodles. For pretty much every trait that I've heard identified as a reason to get a doodle, I'm like "Y'know what other breed could give you that trait, and probably more reliably? A poodle."
@@Memow-pk1ng People think that poodles don't grow the face hair and that they're prissy and ugly from what I've heard. It's really sad as they're missing out on amazing dogs
@@emlangan those doodle breeders claim are hypoallergenic, don't shed, easy maintain and.. all lies, no 100% allege . All breed shed twice a year, .. tho poodles shed less, not all year, like GSheep, huskies, & even short haired.
Her trying to push away the dryer was the funniest thing 😂 she's such a cute, well behaved dog.
I used to have a list of different breeds I wanted to have but after my first standard poodle, that was it...I'm on my fourth now.
Trying real hard not to cry right now because she is SO CUTE. I had a standard Poodle growing up and I still miss him every single day. They truly are the best dogs!!!!!! ❤️
This groom gave me an entirely different impression of poodles 🐩 and now I have a new appreciation for them 😊
Yay! Lovely to see people appreciating poodles, they're amazing dogs
They truly are great dogs
They're brilliant dogs
My father pseudo fostered one once! He came with the house he rented! The woman that owned the house was/is one of the big people at Sam Adams Brewing. Boomer was his name, the dog! He was so much fun! My Dad rented the house for like 8 years! The dog pretty much became his! Sally (owner) would come down from time to time and take the dog for weekends into Boston! The beach was literally steps away! Great for taking the dog to run and swim! He LOVED the water! He would swim for hours if we let him!
Wow! A house that came with a dog. I love it!😂
I think the best part about poodles (other than everything) is that if you don't like your grooming job, just wait a couple weeks and start over!
2:47 Haha, reminds me of muppets. Maybe Grover?
The poodle I grew up with, Maggie, passed away this past November at 18 years old. They definitely are underrated dogs, so intelligent and loyal!
I gave my 2 poodles a mohawk last time I clipped them, haha. From their neck all the way back to their tail! Their hair was pretty short to begin with so it was kind of subtle, but it's super cute!
They look like smol dinosaurs now
Love it!
I gave my poodle a mohawk too, but just on his head. He and I both like it-- it keeps the floof out of his eyes, and I have significantly less to brush throughout the week.
She looked comical when she came in and still looked comical when she was done - but cleaner!
What a great dog!! After the wash and dry she reminded of an 80's rock star. Thanks for being so awesome!!
When I was 12 my parents got me a black standard poodle I named Lady. She loved water - our creek, the local rivers and lakes and would catch live birds in her mouth and bring them to the front door. She was smart and playful and such a good dog.
What a playful, patient, precious pup! Everything lovable about her breed wrapped up in one lanky, energetic ball of sweetest fluff.
And totally Quiet!!
What a beautifully well behaved dog she is.
Standard Poodles are the Gold Standard of canines!! ❤
What a beautiful four legged topiary.
Funny!
Can confirm, poodle is the best breed ever ❤❤❤ smart and funny. I used to play hide and seek with my standard. Miss you Sophie & Chelsea, you were the love of my life ❤🐩
Kachina came in sporting a Don King hairstyle!
Standard Poodles are brilliant. Very intelligent dogs. Wonderful to see the great grooming outcome.
As an Ontarian and rescue dog owner/vlogger, it makes me so happy to know that you are helping to raise money for Niagara Dog Rescue!!!! This was such a great video! My favourite part was the blow dry - those paws of hers got busy!!!!! 🤗💓
They were, but didn't seem she was trying to hurt Vanessa, but just to stop that lethal wind snake !
Lupa got so big!!! Where did that whiny little puppy go? lol Kachina looks great, I love those tree stump legs. I tried to do that on my Shih Tzu but that would mean the potato would have to stand for a minute.
What a goofy looking animal. However her temperament seems relaxed and easy going and that's what really matters.
I always thought if I didn't have greyhounds, standard poodles would have been my dog. Super smart and so funny. Love them.
Love the paws trying to catch the air flow. I’ve never cared to topknots on poodles but the tail is so cute. She was very well behaved!
I had to double take here, because I thought my poodle took a trip to your place! They look very similar! Standard Poodles are amazing. I grew up with them. Fantastic breed, doesn't shed, they're really smart, and they are definitely not the stereotype people think they are. They may look silly with the afros, but they all knew they needed longer hair for all the head-banging they do when listening to metal behind our backs.
All breeds shed, twice a yr.,.. spring , fall. Just not all yr like. shepherds, huskies,
Her hairdo on top reminded me of an alpaca hairdo. She’s beautiful and you did a great job. My family had a toy poodle when I was a child. She was named Creampuff because of her white curly full head of hair. She was a sweetie. We were lucky to have her for 18 years.
Kachina was such a good girlie girl ! She was calm even with the face work. I think the standards act differently than some of the smaller size poodles and they are very athletic. Lupa enjoyed the rough housing🐾🐾 and would probably like another play date ! I'm always amazed at how much SKILL and KNOWLEDGE Vanessa has with technique, breed and individual grooming needs, equipment, hair differences, etc. It makes such a difference and I appreciate it ! Thanks for the interesting groom with beautiful Kachina ! 🐩🐩💖💖 YAY
I actually think all sizes are pretty similar, toys and minis are also very athletic and ready for anything. All poodles are amazing
I have two small poodles and I can shave everywhere and even clean their teeth with dental scrapers. It’s all about teaching poodles that grooming is part of their life, and something they can and must accept and not fight.
I have 3 standard poodles. 1 that is 11, 1 that is 6, and another that is 12 weeks old. They are so muck fun. Whenever we go to the vet, they always say, "There is the poodle pack!"
Loved our toy poodles that we had for 14 years. Would have another toy poodle in a minute! Smart, people pleasing, funny, and just plain good company!
Was it a brown toy? I dont know why the brown ones are the goofiest

Kachina during dryer battle: "Cease and desist, hooman!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣how she fights the air dryer was so funny
Poodle's are extremely intelligent & spend hours thinking up new ways to exhaust & exasperate their owners 🤣🤣 but they are kind, loving & affectionate when it suits them... My ex boss had 3 & as a dog lover myself I found it very calming & relaxing when they were in the office... They know who "their people" are & ignore anyone who isn't in that group.. great natural comedians & always entertaining 👍👍!
I agree that standard poodles are quite underrated! I used to dogsit for a black standard poodle named Jack and I adored him. He was just a sweet, easy-going gentleman who loved people, long walks and treats.
Wow! Lupa's grown up so much!
I love her natural tail length.
This dog is so cute when she pushes your hand away with the drier. ❤
I love how, even after the first shave and take down, she was so fluffy and then deflated with the water.
Then the fluff came back.
Every standard poodle I’ve met has been a sweet and very chill dog. Very underrated
Madonna mia quanto è bella Lupa!
Shortie had them apple bottom jeans BOOTS WITH THE FUR!
She’s already cute, even as a matted up pooch
The title of this video is GOLDEN!! And so true! 😂 I have a 4 year old black and white Parti Standard and she is the goofiest, best girl in the world! They are such intelligent and loyal dogs, and have one of the biggest personalities out there honestly, but they always get a rap for being sissy and high maintenance (which, yes the grooming is more than some dogs but it isn’t even that bad). Such an underrated breed. I love seeing such a good representation of the breed on such a popular channel 😍😍
Our male is so super goofy as well.. I love it!
I’m literally having a debate about this on this wall with a toy poodle owner who is telling me standards poodles aren’t goofy they are “self important”. What in the projection? Every single standard poodle describes this dog as a goofy dog lol. They are so much fun and so funny and love to goof off! I think it’s a disservice to the breed to describe them as just “smart” as they are so playful and fun loving and yes.. GOOfy!
the pawing she did with the dryer is such a poodle thing to do lmao
Lupa has gotten so big!
She was so good during her grooming!
What a well behaved doggo! She’s a darling!
This must be the most well behaved dog I've seen on this channel..... oh wait the dryer.
The black standard poodle my paternal grandparents owned when I was an infant and young child and lived with them saw my cousins and me as a food source. The only people Peppy liked were my grandmother, my grandfather, and my father's cousin Joanie. I can still hear the growling sounds Peppy used to make when my father had to take him outside to do his business. I made the same noise at my friend's sister's standard poodle, and from the looks of him, it meant "I'm going to eviscerate you--NOW!"
This was nothing short of spectacular and you did a miracle
on this girls coat from when she first came in. She is beautiful.
Luna has grown so much, she’s beautiful! I adore Poodles, especially ones with undocked tails.
She’s got a fro!!
such a good girl Kachina!
I was not really a "pudel-girl" until we got a standard pudel at de doggydaycare where I work.
He is sooooo energetic and amazing to work with.
They definitely have more drive than people give them credit for!❤❤🤩
She looked like a cute fluffy spider with those long legs of her, while pleading to stop blow drying 😭
All dogs rock, but only Poodles rock and roll with style.
She's a good fur baby👍🏽😘🐩🐩
You're so cringey
She's so calm and relaxed while being groomed, what a sweetheart ❤️
What a beaut! And she looks like my standard poodle too! Except it's a he, and his name is Jet, mostly b/c he likes to do zoomies from time to time. And he's indeed smart, though a bit too smart.
That's a crazy looking alpaca.
Underrated is not even the word Sis ! Having had two of these precious ladies , Its been nothing but a world of Love ♥♥♥
What a nice personality she has. She looked totally different and so much better after the grooming.
My in-laws have had poodles for the last 20 years or so and they've absolutely changed my world. I never would have considered poodles until I met them
She looked like Side Show Bob before you tamed her topknot 😂
There's someone in my dogbook who has a black Standard male she trained in schutzhund. The hair dos she gave him were a riot, horns etc. He's 12 now.
As a doberman person I've been told Standards are very dobe like with their humor , biddability and intelligence. I'd love one but would be the equivalent of a kindergartener learning their health issues and grooming needs. But I agree Standards are HIGHLY underrated! I love Kachina's face!
Right after Vanessa brushes her head, that poodle looks like she is smiling 🤭😘 Edit: oh my gosh, she is such a good girl! ❤❤❤
Just off the bat - I don't know why I'm so surprised but Luna has grown up so much! What a gorgeous pup! I love seeing these two just frolicking in your yard Vanessa!
one time i met a heavily disabled woman (i don't remember what she suffered with exactly, but she was dwarfed and had deformed body so she needed one of these wheelchairs that have a control panels, but she was not impaired mentally) with a standard poodle service dog. i happened to sit with her at a mall table during my lunch because there were no tables free, and we chatted a little. she said that poodles make amazing service dogs, but no professional service dogs trainer agreed to train a poodle for her, because they're difficult to work with. they're smart, but they tend to be too smart and can sometimes be conditional and stubborn, so she was training the dog herself. the dog was amazing though, it didn't take its eyes off her even for a second, she had its full attention all the time no matter what was going on around. it looked almost like a sculpture.
Now that’s what you call a transformation
