I always told myself when I got the poodles that they'd never have "that teddy bear face", and that they'd always be clean-shaved. Then fast forward to a dog that hasn't been to the groomers in almost 5 months. LOL.
He started looking really cute with a fuzzy face, up until this evening when it was just too "ughh" for me to look at (think schnauzery... and we'll leave that to the schnauzers). I watched a video on youtube and this is what came out!
BEFORE
AFTER
I was a little scared going against the grain of hair on his face, but it looks awesome! I think I may have messed up on his neck - maybe not too far down. Tomorrow I'm half-tempted to see how to do poodle-paws myself (my groomer friend does FFT for me).
And while I'm at it, is there anything that I could maybe do different next time? I think I'm growing his TK and ears out for the moment, though the rest of him needs to be shaved...
