Default Full topknots?
I would love to see photos of spoos with full TK's.. ie not blocked and shaped, so that the topknot and ears blend together. I'm thinking of growing Nova's out but can't decide if I want to.

I would also love to see photos of larger-framed spoos (especially partis!) in a Miami trim. Thinking of doing this in a couple months but not sure how it would look with all her freckles.

Any photos/advice welcome! This is her now:

Ooooh I love it! I want Nova to look like Darby in that second picture. Too cute! Do you find it difficult to maintain?

I'd love to see that too in an adult poodle! I love the look of the puppies , and would love to see some adults with the same look.

Not difficult to maintain, just a lot to maintain. I am always saying "I'm gonna cut it!!!!" But I'm too scared to. She's a pup so I've never trimmed it. It's always in her face so I am constantly fixing it. Every time I fix it I cringe because I can feel the hair breaking.

I don't know that I would let it be quite as long as Darby's. I don't have any problem keeping it combed and Nova is not too hard to keep clean and tidy. But I still don't know if I want to tackle it lol!

I looooove the freckles you get on parti dogs, any breed. When it's long, they're softened and sort of blended into the white, but when you clip it short, they really come out and pop. Same with brindles, the stripes become obvious with a short cut. Just remember, if you don't like it, it'll grow back!

Default Indy's out of control topknot
This was Indy a couple of days ago before I shaped her topknot. Doesn't her face kind of look like Nova's?

Had to do some digging. It's much easier to do with puppy hair.



trimmed to right after
Still blended, but controlled
