I chose this book because it has been known as the gold standard in poodle grooming books for many years. I am just beginning to groom my two standard poodles and this book is very helpful. It covers trimmers and other grooming equipment thoroughly and has a great chart that explains what type of cut each numbered blade provides, for five different brands of trimmers. It includes almost every type of cut you might consider giving your poodle and each cut has great photographs and/or black and white drawings that help you visiualize what you are doing. The book also has seperate sections for how to groom feet, topknot, tail, face, stomach and ears- I have refered to these chapters many times and they have very helpful instructions and tips. I would highly recommend this book, it will be the only one you need-its so complete. Many people are surprised to find that I am grooming my own dogs and they often comment that the dogs look like they went to a professional.

Even if you never try grooming your poodle yourself, this book is full of wonderful information for admirers of the breed. Kalston gives a wonderful history of Poodles and goes into great detail regarding the composition and character of the beautiful, non-shedding Poodle coat.

I own a poodle and was looking for a book on grooming so that I could do it myself. This book is the best one I've seen. It has detailed photos and drawings in it, along with very specific instructions and information on the different tools and blades that are available. I reach for it every time I am grooming the poodle!! There are many styles described in this book!! If you groom your own poodle, you won't be sorry about buying this book!!
