Guest Anonymous Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 There was an article in my local paper today about "designer dogs". While, I may be biased because I completely disagree with the whole "doodle practice" it seems to me there was also a lot of factual errors in the article. Anyway, one of the things the article states is that poodles have an undercoat which cuts down on the shedding. Now, I KNOW labs have an undercoat and those dogs shed like mad. But do poodles even HAVE an undercoat? I looked up the standard and don't see mention of it. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puttin510 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I have two poodles. Not ever year heard of an undercoat on a poodle. But they do have two types of hair on them. The soft hair and the coarse hair that helps it hold its form. [/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
