Hi all! New to this community but very excited to be here.
I have a 5-month old toy poodle and am pretty committed to home-grooming, and I'd love to hear some perspectives from you all! I want her to look somewhat like this, but with slightly shorter hair on body/legs:
At this point I've gotten some basics down but the area I'm most unsure of is the technique around the face:
What do you recommend for getting such a clean, open look around the eyes while keeping the rest of the face floofy? I have heard of scooping before is that what I should be doing?
The mouth area of the poodle pictured looks like it's trimmed to where the lip is and kind of looks cute and smile-y and clean (lol sorry I don't know how else to describe it). How is this done? My girl's hair around the lips seems to bend with the curve of the lips, almost like it's combed back towards her head if that makes sense.
Also, is the dog pictured here a puppy? The hairs on the legs look so straight/wavy.
I'm open to any additional tips + recommendations you all have for how to achieve this type of look!! Thanks in advance
