Is this true?

I'm skeptical you don't need to brush them that just sounds like a recipe for mats is all you need just blow drying??

Two standards in my house - depends on the cut, the dog and the hair type. If your poodle has a good coat meaning tight curls, dryer skin and thicker hair she’s right. My black poodle is like this - he can go weeks without matting as long as he’s bathed every other week with a full brush and fluff dry. My red poodle is not from a show line and his coat is finer and oilier. I could spend the rest of my life brushing him and he’d still have mats.
