Perfect Poodle

Show Topknots

Allison's tried-and-true methods for show topknots that have won 100's of Best in Shows!


Why are we focusing specifically on show topknots?

The bubble is the most important part of the topknot. It is the first impression! It sets the Poodle apart from many other breeds. It is also one of the hardest things for most Poodle exhibitors!

A well-put together topknot is the foundation of your Poodle's spray up. Without proper banding, you will have trouble spraying up, trouble with trimming and finishing, and ultimately trouble in the ring!

This webinar recording will include never-before-seen, step-by-step video demonstrations, photos and diagrams to help you topknot your Poodle to perfection.

We cover topics such as:

  • Step-by-step demonstrations of each section of the show topknot
  • Allison's favourite, go-to topknot configuration
  • Variations of the topknot for different needs
  • The perfect "bubble"!
  • How to choose the size of the bubble for the best look
  • Puppy topknots
  • How to put the collar on
  • How to vet wrap the ears
  • Equipment needed
  • Allison's expert insights on how to get the perfect topknot, everytime!
  • and more!
