5.0 out of 5 stars Jam-packed full of essential information, Oct 6 2002

By	"indigocoatl" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews

Everything you ever wanted to know about grooming your poodle, from clippers, hairdryers, grooming tables, trimming your dog's nails (*easy*, if you use a Dremel grinder!), pet clips, US/CA show clips, International pet and show clips (truly wonderful stuff there) to advice on setting up your own grooming salon and participating in grooming contests.

I now have my second poodle - a show dog - and I'm doing all the basic grooming on her. A miracle, considering that I never laid scissors on a dog before May (and it's now October). I do have a "poodle mentor" who I love dearly - she has taught me much. But I learn well from books, and Kalstone's is excellent.

I spent so much time and money schlepping my dear departed one back and forth to and from the groomers - I wish I'd known just how *easy* grooming can be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poodles wobble, but they don't fall down., Sep 22 2002

By	Nad Namso (Lawrence, KS) - See all my reviews

Some may consider the poodle to be a "high maintenance." Just looking at the picture, it's easy to see why. This rare gem wouldn't slum it by drinking out of the Russell Terrier's bowl, IYKWIM.

But beauty is more than just fur deep and the Kalstones have proven that to me. Thanks to this informative book, I now know how to cut them, shave them, love them, and, most importantly, staple them to a purple felt skirt for those rockin' sock hops down at the high school gymnasium.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for All Poodle Owners!, Feb 3 2002

By	Karen B (Fort Wayne, IN United States) - See all my reviews

Excellent book that shows exactly how to bathe, groom and clip Show & Pet Poodles. Nice illustrations and pictures for all of the poodle clips. Includes what scissors, clipper, shampoos and other grooming aids to buy. After using this book, I had the confidence to buy professional clippers (I am an amateur) and clip my own Standard Poodle (whom, btw, looks terrific!). I first learned of the book from the library and told my husband we had to own this! *I wish that every breed of dog that needs to be groomed had such an excellent book as this!*
