Gayle. Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 ....cos this morning we have our graduation from puppy class at the local dog obedience club, and I wanted him to look gorgeous. And he did! My husband put him outside this morning and I've just taken his breakfast out to him. He no longer looks gorgeous. His lovely clean white feet are now coated with black sticky mud. The pretty copper coloured hair on his legs is also black. His shiny, glossy, silky coat has a thick layer of dirt and mud through it. The little devil decided this morning was the perfect morning to become a backhoe and he's excavated a huge hole under the hydrangeas. Gawd, I hope it will all brush out, cos we don't have time for another bath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what that is like, over the years it has happened many times. ;) Best to contain them if you require them to remain clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodle wrangler Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 My apricot standard poodle is a mud lark. Comes home from walks with black-brown paws, but I have no idea what happens to all the dirt. We come home, go goes out the back, has a snooze and the mud's gone later ;). The traditional shaved poodle feet DO have practical purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaos Central Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 it doesn't matter what you do they always find a way to get grubby, especially if you are in a hurry. a friend of mine uses talcum powder to get the dirt out, i dont know if it works but she swears by it.
