Poodle Memorial Urns

Sculpting a Poodle

The curls are made by pressing and twisting a rounded tool into leather-hard clay, working in overlapping rows from the rear forward. Done in the wrong order the rows flatten each other and the coat reads as texture rather than curl.

How your Poodle was clipped changes the whole silhouette. A dog in a puppy clip, a lamb clip, or grown out shaggy are three different sculptures. Send a photo from the last groom you liked.

The head is a narrow wedge under all that coat. Sculpt the coat first and the underlying skull ends up too round, giving a Bichon rather than a Poodle.

Which size for a Poodle?

Typical adult weight is Toy 3–4 kg · Miniature 7–8 kg · Standard 20–32 kg. Toy and Miniature take size S. Standards need size L — see the size guide, as Standards vary more than most breeds.

Size is chosen by your pet's weight before cremation, not by breed average — use their weight if you know it. The full chart is on our size guide.
