I have plenty of experience with bully types of dogs like bullies, boxers, and pitbulls. I love their energy, character and love of life.

My wife keeps mentioning she wants a "fluffy" dog, fluffy in appearance but not in personality. In the back of my mind I always thought a standard poodle would be a great addition. I have a very well socialized 3 year old pitbull/boxer now. With my experience how would a standard poodle fit in my life.

Looking to see what the average price for a groom of a standard poodle is these days in other places.

My groomer used to charge about $96, she then went to $107 and is now at $117.
