02. POODLESPoodles originated in Germany as water retreiving dogs more than 400 years ago. They come in three AKC recognized size categories; Standard, Miniature, and Toy.This is another dog breed we see very commonly in the salon, since they also require regular grooming because of their curly non-shedding coat type. They are incredibly versatile as far as the style you can choose for them, ranging from breed standard patterns/styles, creative styles, and easily maintained “pet trims” for the casual poodle pet owner.
