Unlike most dog breeds, poodles do not shed. While that means there will not be  fur coating the living room couch, it also means routine grooming is important  to a poodle's well-being. Unkempt hair will become knotted, matted and  uncomfortable for your pet.
Many owners decide to send their poodles to  professional groomers because of the skill and time involved. Other owners,  however, attempt to do the task themselves. There are a plethora of poodle  styles out there. Some owners intend to enter their poodle as a show dog in  competitions, while others keep them as regular pets.
