Both Miniature and Standard Poodles have a dense, curly coat with a fine, wooly texture. They shed little to no hair, often making them a good choice for people prone to allergies. However, extensive grooming and daily attention is required. This dog should be bathed on a regular basis, and the coat should be clipped every 6 to 8 weeks. There are several different hair clips, including the "pet" or "puppy" clip, the "sporting" clip, the "English Saddle" and the "Continental". In addition, the ears need frequent attention and the teeth need regular scaling. Additional pet grooming tips.
