Hi Karen I have had a few litters of Mini and Standard Poodles. Bred a few, shown a few, brushed a few, loved a few. Are they talking about general upkeep or are they talking about health related issues to the coat like SA? Mike Also, Mystiques breeder, Mareen Charlton is a standard poodle person too! :-)) Michael Lynch BlackHawk Farms,LLC www.Blackhawk-farms.com ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a PS3 game guru.
