So, here's my dilemma. I had been planning on getting a girl spoo for a while, but I went to a breeder, and decided I loved one of her boy spoos and he had to come home with me.
I had ideas for all these clips I was gonna have her done up in. A super fluffy lamb clip, and a miami in the summer, I love pompoms and fluffly ears and top knots. But now I've got this little boy spoo puppy, and he's only 3 months so it'll be a while until he gets a "full" clip. But I'm curious, what clips are your boy spoos / mpoos / tpoos in?
Or what are your favorite clips? Or any websites you like to get inspiration from?

He's a cutie. I actually like the continental on him, I'm not usually a fan.

I have a client at work who I do a one length all over approximately one inch cut. I hand scissor the top knot and leave it full but not too full, and do a clean face and feet on him wih pompom ears and tail. He looks very masculine in this cut, but also adorable and fluffy.

Ha,ha--all the people I know who have males say that everyone thinks they're girls anyway! So clip him in whatever catches your eye...his fur will grow and grow and you'll have a chance to put him in EVERYTHING eventually, lol. Coincidentally, I have my dogs in a lamb clip during the winter and Miamis in the summer But tokipoke has had Leroy in some great male clips, and so has frankgrimes. In fact you should see the plans she has for a kramer/fragglerock topknot, very cool!

Oh thank you! I'll check her out and look at her boy, I love seeing other peoples poodles.
I lovee the lamb clip and the miami, I may even go for it later when his adult coat comes in.

Wow, your dog looks great.
Would you mind if I saved this picture and used it to show a groomer if I wanted this cut in the future?

Wow, that is such a nice compliment. Thank you so much!

As you can see, the body is clipped short, while the legs are clipped longer. One thing that makes it different from a lamb is that the two lengths are not blended. Youre supposed to see the lines where the coat length changes, but in this shot you really cant. Part of the reason is that the leg coat is not that much longer than the body (saves me brushing time, LOL), and part of it is that all the light is coming from the camera flash, and lighting a subject like that reduces perception of depth and detail.

Here is an article about how to do this clip:

If I tilt the screen I can see the differentiated lengths. And that blog, wow. I've been reading it and she does some amazing clips. I want her to clip my spoo! haha.
