Poodles do not need to be maintained\u00a0in a show clip.\u00a0 Some people prefer the long, shaggy look on a poodle, both on the face and the body,\u00a0some people prefer a clean face and clean toes, and some people experiment with\u00a0different looks creating a combined look or new style altogether.\u00a0 People who are familiar with the breed understand that a poodle may look a little shaggy between the 6-8 week grooming schedule.<\/p>\n
