The show grooming is a popular grooming choice for groodles. With their wavy-to-curly fleece coat, groodles benefit greatly from this style. This precision grooming to breed standard for conformation shows is a practical and attractive option for pet owners.
The show grooming on a Groodle creates a precision grooming to breed standard for conformation shows. The body is typically kept at exact breed standard requirements, with the face shaped exact breed standard. The exact result depends on your Groodle's individual coat texture — groodles have a wavy-to-curly fleece coat that holds this style well but requires regular brushing.
Most groodles need their show grooming refreshed every 6-8 weeks. Their coat mats easily, so regular brushing every 2-3 days between grooms is essential.
A show grooming for a Groodle typically costs $90-$140 in Australia, depending on the salon, location, and coat condition. Matted coats often incur surcharges of $10-$30, so regular grooming keeps costs consistent.
Show grooming requires weekly professional touch-ups leading up to events. Daily brushing and coat care is essential. For groodles specifically, pay extra attention to the areas behind the ears, armpits, and where collars or harnesses sit — these are the first places mats form.
Brush your Groodle thoroughly every 2-3 days to prevent matting in the dense coat. Pay special attention to the chest, behind ears, and leg furnishings. A steel comb after brushing catches hidden tangles.
