An old book, but with helpful information to get someone started in grooming their own poodle. I found it helpful to read before I began and also after I had tried it out a little to refine. Much of the book has detailed directions for very fancy grooming, I found it useful for just doing simple sport/puppy cuts as well.

A lot of the styles of poodle trims in this book aren't relevant to me because I'm not showing or looking to have a showy dog. However, as a poodle owner who does her own grooming the book is an invaluble resource on the nuts and bolts of taking care of a poodle coat and cutting it.

Poodles was an okay book. It was not the most interesting, but I did learn a couple new facts.

Best of the best

I own a 2-year old poodle. Grooming is expensive. I'm going to start grooming her myself. This book has EVERYTHING I need to know. Truly everything.
