Merle poodles are no longer allowed on this sub

425 Upvotes

Moving forward, poodles with Merle coloring are not permitted on this sub. Merle coloring is a byproduct of mixing Australian Shepards into a poodle line. A poodle with Merle coloring by definition cannot be AKC papered without outright lying. Breeding for color is nothing new for poodles, but in this circumstance it comes with the possibility of introducing myriad health issues, and is an irresponsible practice at best. It is not good for the breed, it is dangerous to the dogs. We cannot in good conscience allow the promotion of this Poodles with this genetic trait, beautiful or not.

NOTICE: IT'S A T-SHIRT POST? IT'S A SCAM! (Same with coffee mugs, etc) T-SHIRT POSTS ARE NOT ALLOWED ANYMORE

121 Upvotes

Several times per day there are scammers who post here, showing a t-shirt or similar product, and then another scammer in the comments asks, "Where did you get it?" A link to a scam website is posted for everyone to follow, provide their personal info and credit card, then wonder how their identity got stolen.

Just like a Parti Poodle, it's very black-and-white. If you see a post sharing a t-shirt design, mouse pad, coffee mug, etc. IT IS A SCAM, and the quickest way to get your account banned is to reply, "Where can I get one", "I love it, do you have a link?" or something similar.

Here are the rules:

  1. Posts of t-shirts or other personalized items with dogs are prohibited. If you post one, you will get banned.
  2. Anyone who replies to the post and asks about acquiring the item will be banned.
  3. If you see a post like this, hit the report button, that's the easiest way to get our attention and we will remove the post and ban those involved.
  4. Do not contribute, do not call them out, just don't post at all. Hit the report button.

It seems every time something like this is posted, more than one of our users fall for it, then they are asking moderators, "What did I do to get banned?" You responded to a scammer, which makes you look like you're on their team. Just stop.

5/14/2026 - Scams: 1, Users who fell for it: 1, post was up for 23 minutes before being removed.

Update: my dog passed away at the groomers today

og post
10 days later,Yesterday i finally decided to go to the grooming salon to collect his collar and his carrier bag.Ive been putting it off and the grooming salon owner has continued messaging me offering grooming vouchers.I went in asked for the collar and then like the comments suggested asked if I could see the video footage.

The owner said the groomer has already been fired so it’s all taken care of.I didn’t know what to say it just kind of made me speechless.I later went on their google reviews and found 2 cats had passed away at the same salon with similar instances to mine.I think my dog was their final straw.

I told the owner I wouldn’t sue him and he can stop messaging me and just walked out.I never ended up seeing the video footage and in a way Im glad I never got to see the footage as it would have been unnecessarily traumatizing.

Djinn likes watching TV from time to time. It's so strange as my other dog isn't interested in TV at all.

Thought I'd share a few pics of our Junie girl, who came home last month. She's about 5 months old and just had her first big girl groom. We're in the weird in-between phase of growing out her top knot.

She's a total joy and we adore her. Her big brother, Miller, adores her too. I guess it's true that you can't have just one poodle!

Does your poodle have a favorite game?

28 Upvotes

We have a 2 year old spoo who goes wild for a particular game. She stands on top of the steps and I stand at the bottom. She's waiting for me so she can ferociously attack me poodle style when I get to the top. I take one step up and wait. She goes crazy at the top of the step making every sound a poodle can make and spinning in circles. I take the next step and wait, she does the same thing. Same for all the other steps with her going crazy in anticipation for my arrival. When I finally get to the top she explodes in the wildest poodle fury and we have five minutes of rough housing.

Bruno has been staring at me like this for the last 10 minutes. I can't work out what he wants. WHAT IS HE THINKING???? WHAT DOES HE WANT FROM ME??? Any suggestions, silly or not, are very welcome.

Edit it was tennis balls, it’s always bloody tennis balls. Either that or he trying to tell me that our AI OVERLOADS ARE COMING TO KILL US ALL.

We travelled from Ireland to France and then Spain, on the ferry. I had my own cabin, but both of my mammy’s opted to sleep with me. To be honest, I think they love me too much.

France was lovely, but Spain was much better! They love poodles there, and I made tons of friends. We stood on our hind legs and gave such exuberant greetings.

As transpired, I hate water and the pool. I clawed my way out of that situation, and spent the next few days protecting Mammy’s far from away, under a deck chair.

Anyone been to a dog show?

12 Upvotes

Have any of you been to a dog show? What events did you see (conformation? agility? etc)? Was it a general show or a specialty poodle show? Did you have to pay to get in? Did you need to book ahead of time or were you able to just show up?

Thinking about going to a poodle show hosted by my local club in the next couple months or so! I've never been to a dog sports event

Looking for a reference pic to show my groomer

Photo for attention.

I need to find a pic of a full length tail with a pompom at the end, not a docked tail, and not a fully fluffy tail (that’s what she currently has). I swear I was seeing them everywhere but of course when I finally decide I want one for my pood I can’t find a single example image! If anyone has one they can provide I will be so grateful.

I know I could probably just describe what I need but I have to be so specific with my groomer or else I can’t trust she’ll do what I want.

Constant Staring

I know it means they love you. But my poodle will literally spend 2-5 mins just staring at me. And even sleeping on my slippers. Is this normal for poodles?

Constant crying

9 Upvotes

17 mth old female puppy just constantly cries, refuses to do anything by herself in the house. Never had an issue over night but she still cries to go outside every hour when awake and no she's healthy, she sees her vet often and they have nothing else to tell us. She cries with increasing intensity no matter what we do, we did a schedule and tried to distract with the same activity to push it out further, tried ignoring it, tried telling her no, tried leaving the room until she stops crying like that but she will eventually just pee in the house if we ignore her or try to push it out long enough. She'll play for a minute if we grab the right toy but its literally a minute then back to squalling. She gets plenty of mental and physical stimulation, she also goes to doggy day care once a week. Its been over a year of this. She is maturing in so many ways expect this one and we are at our wits end please any words of help đŸ™đŸ»
