These dogs are so much help in the garden. (NOT) I planted a bunch of little flowers in the back garden and no sooner had I watered them in, these Poodles tore several out and ran around the yard with them like lunatics. I was so mad at them. I swore and called them bad names. lol. After that first time, with a little watching and "leave it," they've left things alone. I'm very glad of that.
Matisse looks like a ragamuffin. His hair in this picture is in desperate need of re-banding. It's hard to keep a show coat nice on a Poodle that plays like a dog in a yard with dirt and plants in it. Sometimes his coat gets covered in plant material...burrs, sticks, leaves. Oh dear. Maurice's short coat is so much easier to maintain.
