Even with the Texas heat, I have been figuring out what sort of clip I want to try next as Zulee's Winter doo. It will be awhile since I need to grow out her hair first. I have this image in my mind and tried to draw it. LOL!!!! Anyway, it's similar to the Scandinavian clip a lot of you would like to do. However, I wanted to keep her neck shaved.

SO.... I thought why not add a lapel to the jacket?!?!? Kinda like a fur trim around the top. The obvious reason for Zulee is that I don't think her hair would hold the shape well. It's the typical toy soft coat. I'm still tempted to try it though. Do you think she would like the Grinch? LMAO!

If you really want to help save my precious poodle from the embarrassment of her deranged owner, you can post some other ideas for a winter trim you would like to try or have done in year's past.

Hint Hint.... I figure our friends in New Zealand have some recent pics they could share!

Any other off the wall trim's anyone has contemplated?

I don't do anything different on trims for the different seasons here, as even at out coldest we're not as cold as much of america gets! But does sound neat if you can pull it off! Go for it!!!

Paris and Saffy both look so gorgeous. If Zulee could, she would dye her ears purple!

I had an idea this week that I did on my new Madison. I did her body with a 5 but I left a nice 3 inch wide ring of hair around her neck. She looks like she is wearing a white coat w
A fur collar. I plan on giving her leopard spots on her jacket. I recently saw the QUEEN OF HEARTS dog done by Lori Craig and that dogs neck fur collar stuck out and was 6 inches long. That's where I got the idea from

Here is Madison in her winter look....I think the longer the collar fur grows, the cuter it will look. Her body is a #5 with thicker legs and I did not shave poodle paws on her. I also want her tail long and full with no shaving at the base. Whaddaya think?
