I had a golden opportunity with the prettiest Standard Poodle I've ever seen today. The owner just acquired this dog yesterday and wanted to have him groomed today.
He was big, solid white, no matts and......spastic. I was thinking that I could really make this dog look good (even I couldn't screw this one up). But he fought every inch of the way and I had to hand him back over to the owner a couple of hours later unfinished. The owner agreed to bring him back in two weeks and we'd try him again, hoping to get him better used to getting groomed.
The dog is 14 months old and very full of himself but what a beauty. I became a fan of poodles today (never in my life would I have dreamed that I would utter those words).
