Wow Annie's human! You're a pro. That must have required a tremendous amount of patience.
I think she looks very distinguished. A Miami sounds super chilly for Canadian winters. Peggy's clipped down to a 7 right now and she's curled up in a tight ball.
Surprisingly little patience. 3 days of grooming. Clipped today, brushed a bit (and gave up) yesterday, washed the day before, FFT a week ago or so so I didn't bother redoing them.
That's an interesting cut. I like it.
I feel for you when it comes to dirt inside the mats. That's how the worst of Pogo and Snarky's mats would start. A seed or some other bit of debris would get caught in the hair, and the mat would form around it like the layers of a pearl around a grain of sand.
I have a funny feeling the origin of this haircut was some groomer going. Hmmm... I cut out all the worst mats behind the ears and around the neck. I wonder how I can make it look balanced? In our house, previous drastic haircuts have been inspired by pine sap.
This must be the latest cut from Louis Vuitton poodle line just released to the public for the first time. cameras flashing
It's poodalicious. I like it because it's edgy. It reminds me of disconnected side-part haircuts for guys. It's like Annie's wearing a crop top. Walk Annie around the neighborhood like she's Crufts front page dog because her cut is the new "in" cut for 2020.
It looks new so it's a shock. You can redesign. It always grows back
Lol!!!
I think it was the IN Poodle style of the 1950s or so. Probably the same time as the origin of that man's hair cut you showed actually. It's definitely growing on me, I love how muscular it makes her hips look. There are a ton of variants in Kalstone's Poodle grooming book of the same trim.
I think it's a really smart choice. Looks great and a more comfortable than a Miami in colder weather.
I carry a comb in my car so I can comb out any burrs or mats as soon as I notice them - before they get worse.
Sadly ... I HAD a comb with me. Even took it on hikes with me in case we found burrs. But by the end of the day, I was just too lazy to do poodle grooming.
Ooh nicely done! I would love to try it on Raffi- but I think my family would be highly against it. And I'm not so sure I could do that one.
Raffi went through a phase where the back of his neck kept getting matted. I did my own variant on a shorter modified continental, and trimmed from the back of his skull down to the base of his neck, and around with a v in front.
Interestingly, I sent a picture to my fancy poodle cut hating friend, and she really likes it! I would beg for forgiveness instead of ask for permission, easy enough to do a shavedown after.
