Her name was Blackberry, I was the one who named her after seeing her curl up into a ball on our way home after picking her up for the first time. We shared a birth month and we got her a month after I turned 11. We were the best of pals. She was so ridiculously smart and patient and kind. We taught her shake and high-five within a day when she was still a pup. If any of us were in the pool without her, she would be racing throughout the house screaming at the top of her lungs because she wanted in /so bad/. She would "tag" us while in the pool to make sure we were all okay. But christ, I wish she was this well behaved at the groomers! (and the vet for that matter). The only two times she would be obstinate with us. Kachina at two years old and a role model!

What a nice personality she has. She looked totally different and so much better after the grooming.

[@anaa6573]

I have 3 standard poodles. 1 that is 11, 1 that is 6, and another that is 12 weeks old. They are so muck fun. Whenever we go to the vet, they always say, "There is the poodle pack!"

[@BritInvLvr]

What a beautiful four legged topiary.

[@darleneengebretsen1468]

Funny!

[@grapegirl93]

Just off the bat - I don't know why I'm so surprised but Luna has grown up so much! What a gorgeous pup! I love seeing these two just frolicking in your yard Vanessa!

[@PhotopticC5]

Standard poodles are the best! I was lucky to grow up with a pair. So smart, loyal and sweet.

[@commanderrussels2612]

poodles are awesome

[@ocelotcat]

I absolutely LOVE poodles!!!!!❤🐩❤🐩🐾❤🐾🐩❤ She came out so cute! I’ve always felt that poodles were under rated & misunderstood. They’re exceptionally intelligent and have great senses of humor…..plus, they’re absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤❤❤

[@vicroc4]

They can come off as aloof when you first meet them, but once they get to know you they're such loving and goofy creatures.

[@ocelotcat]

​@@vicroc4, I've had poodles most of my life and they are the sweetest dogs and truly brilliant....very loving and total snuggle bears ❤🐾💕

[@paulinawala7256]

such a good girl Kachina!

[@carriemae6584]

Kachina is breathtakingly beautiful, especially after you groomed her, and you did an excellent job! What a good girl she is, even when she had to push the drier away

[@SusanMJB45]

Standard poodles are amazin dogs. So smart, loving and great family dogs......

[@idreamofparis7233]

I love poodles. My mom had two miniature ones and I had two standard poodles. I lost one last yr at the age of 13 and his sister is 14 and her time is coming. They are the best pups.

[@renepassa1969]

This was the best! I laughed throughout her whole session. It was so funny watching those long legs (that I never knew poodles even had) batting the dryer hose away. That 'fro is epic! Epic I tell you! The entire cut is one of your very best. It is definitely in my top 3!

[@kathrynmilesfenton2755]

Fabulous groom! Beautiful poodle!

[@michellewei7349]

Timing could NOT have been better! I LOOOOVVVEE me a nice standard black Poodle! Right now I have an ailing Basset Hound. Next up... My Fawney!

[@pattirandall6977]

She was so good during her grooming!

[@carolbulmer8253]

Kachina, is gorgeous! Good groom, Vanessa❤️👏👏👏👏👏

[@lauracollier457]

Love my standard poodles, I have a beautiful phantom, Merle and parti standard poodle. I wished you lived closer to us. Great job!! ❤🐩

[@vicroc4]

I love poodles that aren't one solid color. You don't see them very often around here thanks to the AKC excluding them from the show standards. But they're so beautiful, and the best part is that they're still poodles!

[@flowerlily1]

I know you’ve probably heard it all before as to how great you are but I don’t think you can be praised enough. From all the amazing and impressive transformation videos, I must add my two cents. Has anyone told you how amazing and a blessing you are? I can’t even imagine how grateful and relieved owners and pets are when they find you. I wouldn’t even be able to know how owners and pets feel after landing in your knowledgeable and caring hands. Each video I watch, amazes me. You are a wonderful and a blessing with your knowledge and generosity. Keep up the good work! 💕😍🐈‍⬛🐶💕

[@FirePiper828]

So well behaved!! Nice work as always 👍🏻

[@JoeyRose26]

OMG! Growing up with black and yellow labs and then marriage and owning our own I never dreamed when Shiloh passed I would unexpectedly have a 12 wk old female Standard Poodle drop in my lap ! Knowing absolutely nothing about the breed other than they were for decoration! Well, Daphne’s a little over two and she’s really not a dog but a person! Goofy, highly intelligent, sneaky, loves everyone and makes me laugh all day long with her witty antics. I went outside and did not take her and when I came in she had to sniff me all over then my jacket twice then stare me down as I’m convincing her no other dog came near her mama! I am so grateful she just sorta fell into my lap😊💜

[@richierich294]

What a sweet dog. Ever since I started watching this channel, I've decided that someday, I would own a beautiful standard poodle, just like all the amazing poodles I've seen here.

[@amyhamaker7803]

I've had poodles my whole life, and they're so smart, loving and loyal. (Sometimes too smart for their own good, actually--I had one who figured out the Clapper. We had it on our TV set to turn it off, and she learned that if she barked in a certain way and we weren't paying enough attention to her, she could bark to turn off the TV.)

[@greyhoundz]

I always thought if I didn't have greyhounds, standard poodles would have been my dog. Super smart and so funny. Love them.

[@MF-Dog-Mom]

Lupa is so big & beautiful!!! Love seeing her in the video!

[@MildredCady]

I love how, even after the first shave and take down, she was so fluffy and then deflated with the water. Then the fluff came back.

[@brandyrose9997]

What a beautiful, long well-behaved girl 😅❤

[@KartiacKID]

She’s already cute, even as a matted up pooch

[@dourmoose]

Every standard poodle I’ve met has been a sweet and very chill dog. Very underrated

[@helencoppard8059]

She is so gorgeous 💕. Great job👏

[@dianamay3601]

Wow, that is one epic transformation!!! Great job, and also wow Lupo has gotten really big! Hope your day is a good one!

[@SilentGlaceon94]

Initially, I never considered getting a poodle as a first dog due to the work required for grooming. Now that I work at a grooming salon in hopes of being one myself, I am 100% sold on getting one. Every standard poodle I have worked with is an absolute dream, and so friendly too!

[@averymoreland3081]

The title of this video is GOLDEN!! And so true! 😂 I have a 4 year old black and white Parti Standard and she is the goofiest, best girl in the world! They are such intelligent and loyal dogs, and have one of the biggest personalities out there honestly, but they always get a rap for being sissy and high maintenance (which, yes the grooming is more than some dogs but it isn’t even that bad). Such an underrated breed. I love seeing such a good representation of the breed on such a popular channel 😍😍

[@Taureantiger888]

Our male is so super goofy as well.. I love it! I’m literally having a debate about this on this wall with a toy poodle owner who is telling me standards poodles aren’t goofy they are “self important”. What in the projection? Every single standard poodle describes this dog as a goofy dog lol. They are so much fun and so funny and love to goof off! I think it’s a disservice to the breed to describe them as just “smart” as they are so playful and fun loving and yes.. GOOfy!
