I used to think standard poodles were as prissy as their toy counterparts, until I met some. They're as butch as any other big dog - tons of fun! I love them!
I especially liked the pic of Percy spooning the blondish/apricot poodle, with the blonde having the expression of "Heyyyy!"
Hey-- My Percy! What's funny is I've been on here like three times today, but I've been so busy I didn't scroll down this far until now. :) Sarah-KB-- The pood haircut is traditional because they were bred to be duck retrievers in Northern Europe. The hair on their chest and joints keep vital parts insulated in cold water, but the rest is shaved down so can swim. Most people with pet standard poodles are afraid of ridicule or being associated with "frou-frou" dogs, but I go for the fancy haircuts because together we're bringing sexy back!

YES!
Heheh, poodley poodley.
Poodles are so misunderstood. They're such lovely dogs.
All though I'm not convinced by Percy's sexy haircut......
Ah well, to each (wo)man his/her crazy dog stylings.

Shave it down! Why do poodles always have these hair cuts? I'm serious. Is there a health/hygiene reason? Love the hat!

"Poodles are so misunderstood. They're such lovely dogs."
easy Graig- you don't know my life, one of my best friends is a poodle!
no one hates poodles as much as poodle lovers like to think people do.

My mom had a hair cut just like once. It was more of a perm than a cut.
