Puppy hair be-gone!!! LOL She looks sooo different!
I think she looks gorgeous anyway, but it took me a little bit to get used to it hahaha but its good to be able to see her muscle/bone structure, I think it's beautiful, and she looks more poodly for those who like a clean face (it's almost clean, left same length all over)
Her collar even looks too big for her, before you couldnt see the collar, it was hidden in the long hair
Oh I really like that style. You will be so pleased with it, so easy to care for. When my darling Nikkabrik was still alive we always had her in that clip.....
Be prepared to be asked, all the time, "What kind of Dog is that?" Poodles look so athletic in this clip.
it grows back...hehehhe couldn't deal with coat change anymore, I brushed her every day and it was still mating, Im sure she is way more comfortable without the mats.. She will be fluffy again soon :-D
She looks so grown up now! Sushi is next, I keep him in the short retreiver cut all summer because of tics and thistle, we have both arround here, can`t wait to see his nice muscles.
Thanks! Please post pictures of Sushi here! You know I'm one of his biggest fans LOL Cant wait to see 'em It may help inspire me to figure out what length of coat to keep and the retriever clip thing which I'm not very familiar with, would be great to see
I have a question..
Is it necessary to shave down a poodle when the adult hair starts coming in? I've had a poodle before, but she was already an adult when I got her.
My personal experience... ABSOLUTELY! Unless you show your dogs, you have to keep in the the show clip for the ring, I would assume. But I brushed Lou every day and still the adult hair growing underneath the puppy hair (two different textures) just got all tangled and matted no matter what... but like I said some people manage to pull through it without having to shave them down. My husband/his close family has had poodles in his entire life , Lou is his 6th and he shaved each one down.
Hope to hear other PF members's opinions on this...
NOW you are getting there! Just a little poof on the head and a little poof on the tail and she is good to go. LOL. Just kidding. I think she looks terrific. She kind of looks like a chesapeake Bay retriever, in a poodly sort of way.
Yay!!! I was anxiously waiting for your comment hehehehe Thank u, she actually looks kinda poodly doesnt she? Heheheh I'm going to look that breed u mentioned up Now it will all grow from scratch, will be easier to care for and she is already not panting like she was before, she always seemed warm... Poor baby..
Im happy to hear you say "terrific", makes me feel like a proud momma
Ok now you have me thinking. Are toys coats different? I didn't notice a coat change so much. Neither of my girls have had matts on their body thought Poppy has had them in her long tail hairs. I was looking at a harness at the groomers the other day and she advised against using a harness for walking. Said they cause big matts under their arms. So I put that idea aside.
BTW Lou looks lovely. That is just what my DH wants in a dog.
Alright Qarza! Now you need to go buy a standard poodle and shave him or her like Lou. You will get the poodle and your husband will get his dog. My husband loves our big boy. Toys sometimes have much softer, finer coats. A poodle coat is supposed to have a dense wirey feel. Those are the types of coats that matt during coat change, but not so much after the change is all through.
Lou, she really does look pretty. She has such a nice face. It really is easy to care for them when they are short.
Ha Ha. We travel too much and adding a big Standard to two toys and two cats in our wagon, people would know we are mad. As it is when we travel we have an overnight bag each and the vehicle is filled with the pets requirements. If we fly, we have once flown with four cages. Now we can put the dogs together so flying can be 3 cages now. A standard is just a dream......��
Aww Lou looks like she'll be a lot more comfortable in the summer now, and it will grow back! Whisky's hair is growing at about a cm a month I think, on his legs, which is slower than his body I believe. I want to go a lot shorter on his body but the 'man' of the house isn't sure - I think he likes Whisky looking cute - his little baby
Sushi before in the "Lou Look" and after in his "summer retriever cut". It doesn't show on the picture but I used a no 7 on his body so it is really short.
Oh my, that second picture is just soooo beautiful!! I think I'm going to have to "copy" Sushi's look for a while... I will add a few things of my own so Its nor plagiarism hahaha Sushi is wonderful! Thanks for sharing
I wonder if any breeders, or people that are educated and know a lot about poodles.. could give me an honest opinion on Lou's poodleness... (now that we can actually see her LOL) I'm just curious to know if she is a good example of the breed and her faults .. I'm not ever going to show her but I'm just curious, because to me she is wonderfully gorgeous, but have u ever heard of a mom that thinks her baby is not the most beautiful baby in the world? It won't change anything, but I'd like to know! :-D :itsme: :act-up:
Sapphire-Light:
hahahahha they only come in white! awesome! LOL
Yes, people ask me all the time if she is a goldendoodle, I guess it is the color... Also when I let her hair grow really long, people ask me if she had "sheep dog" in her, as you can see on my previous post she had a ton of hair... LOL
Qarza:
You can always be honest!I appreciate it. Yes her ears are shaved down to nuthin too LOL but her hair will grow back soon :-D
