Tip of the Day...

Cleaning Ears

When you clean your Poodles ears make sure you use a drying agent. Alcohol is  good to use on a cotton ball with hemostats.  Poodles have a dropped ear canal, and liquid will sit in the ear and can cause infections if you do not use a drying agent.

Since that time, organizations like HSUS are successfully getting increasingly restrictive laws about owning and breeding animals passed in every state. . . more>
