Question
I want to know how to groom my apricot toy poodle?  From what kind of clippers? Is there something you have to do to the butt? Can I even do it by myself? I am just sick of paying the high prices for mediocre grooming.

Answer
For information on grooming please visit the following links.  They should answer all your questions.  And yes you have to do the anal glads.  I dont recommend just anyone doing it until you have been taught by a groomer or your vet to do it.  Yes you can learn to groom yourself.  Dont forget the ear care too.  You must pluck the hair and keep the ears clean and dry.  All the links below should help you out.
