There is something bizarre about the lengths people will go to make showing Poodles more difficult than it has to be. The idea of conformation shows is supposed to be to evaluate potential breeding stock -- but with Poodles it's turned out to be evaluating which people are more willing to spend more time and energy on hair dressing. There are worse things on earth... but still.
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea to keep big hair, but there are a lot worse things about conformation showing in regards to politics, hiding health and temperament issues, drama, etc. I honestly don’t care to breed my dogs. I simply show for fun. I love the look of a full continental but I’ve also showed in a tight modified.
