Okay, so my husband and I were looking to rescue a Yorkie, because my male Jack Russell Terrier pays no attention to little Brooke who loves to play ALL of the time. Anyways, we saw an ad about a toy poodle who was housetrained, cratetrained, etc. The pic showed a beautiful little creme one year old male. Well, we drive one and a half hours and get to the ladies house and we see this MOP! She then explains that she does not ever brush or bathe any of her dogs
because her whole house smells like dog after. Mind you her groomer was on vacation for the last seven weeks!!!
To make matters more interesting,she is a "breeder" of goldendoodles, and currenly has a litter of ten, and two more pregnant females. The lady had standard poodles, and this poor lil guy, and doesn't brush them?!?
So, I am thinking to myself, these puppies pee all over all of the time, and you won't bathe your house because it will smell like dog?
But, we ended up taking the little guy...what a sweetheart! He sat on the bathroom floor with me last night while I cut off mat after mat..like the animal cops do on T.V! His hair was so matted it it all uneven and shaved ..he looks better than before though. There were scabs under the mats, and in certain spots his skin had starting growing with the mats and cuts appeared. I felt so bad for him.. but now we are just showering him with love so he opens up. Pics will be posted here later of his after pic, and the sheer amount of hair on my bathroom floor that I spent forever cutting off..you won't believe it!
