:( I knooow!!

BUT the owners DID keep tryin' ta get her in for a groom sooner, but the poodle was pregnant with a litter of puppies, so I couldn't take her in for a while :(

:) Awesome dog though! Super sweet!

Before the hair was clipped she was obviously matted and neglected. This groomer did a really good job making her look and feel much better.

@cajuncassriverside By "creating" the coat, we removed any kind of NATURAL SELECTION that would have otherwise happened in the wild. We Developed dogs from wolves by selective breeding. A genetic mutation somewhere along the line gave rise to a Poodle's hair coat, which we decided that we liked and developed this characteristic further to create poodles as a breed. Without humans, poodles would not exist. We selectively bred dogs to make the poodle breed and thus, their coat.

@WrathOfPookie . God created poodles AND their HAIR not man. Poodle coat ARE natural, you dont ever find extra poodle coats do you? Man "created" different looks for the poodle. If you can "create" a poodle coat you should be rich beyond your wildest dreams, oh ya your wild dreams are man creating poodle hair.

Really frustrates me when people bang on about poodle cuts looking "weird" and "unnatural". Poodle coats are NOT natural. Human beings created this coat and for hundreds of years they've been bred to be shaved.

It's so much more hygienic to shave face feet and tail at least. If you want a shaggy, "natural" look it takes so much time and effort that the majority of people either don't understand or are not willing to do.

Grooming poodles is part of keeping them HEALTHY!

@funnywebkinz124 I am professional groomer and let me tell you about mats. If you get them wet they tighten so giving this dog a bath would have made the problem much worse. The mats on this dog were so bad that brushing them out would have irritated her skin. leaving the mats in was ABSOLUTELY not an option. When it ismatted to the skin like that, the skin cant breathe properly and it can cause ALOT of skin problems. Also mats keep moisture and crap close to the skin which causes infection.

@birdpoodle he said that the dog was pregnant so he couldnt take her in for a while, if the dog were severly neglected they wouldnt bother bringing him in at all
