1st trip to groomer Fri. Anything special i need to tell them. I want to keep her a Doodle. Do not want the look of a shaved poodle. She's got soft wavy hair and I love it. Does she need to be scissors cut? I printed the doodle do pages and hopes them but so help me if i pick her up and she's a shaved mess I'll kill them. Any hints?

Stay and watch!
Just be honest with them when you arrive. Also, get some pictures to take along that show how you would like her to be cut - or line Janie said - stay. I know mine doesn't like me to stay only because the dogs will not cooperate as well if their owner is present.
I talked to a groomer of 15 years, twice before I settled on her. I talked to her 4 times the day she went to the groomers. Sent a picture and she still came home looking like a bichon. Never again.... they messed my beautiful girl up. I am ashamed for people to see her. My neighbors what to know if I have a new dog. My daughter-in- law thinks she looks like a ugly old man. My husband and myself was very upset. I have know idea how long it will take to get my beautiful girl back
oh bummer!! Did you find one you like now?
I found one that I am going to try next time. She will let me stay ther if I want to. I am very impressed with her ( but was also impressed with the one that messed her up ).
Make sure you pick a groomer who has worked on soft-haired doodles before, and knows how to make them look pretty without shaving them down completely if you dislike that look... note that if Fergie has a lot of knots in her hair, the groomer really has not other choice than to cut them off. Also be sure to let the groomer know if you'd like Fergie's ears cleaned, nails trimmed, glands emptied, and teeth brushed. Those extra services may or may not be included.

I picked my groomer based on recommendations from a local poodle owner, and I feel extremely fortunate to have found her - she's a perfectionist and very reasonably priced, not to mention the fact that she adores my dogs! You too may want to ask friends and neighbors for their recommendations, or post a note in your area's doodle group here on doodlekisses if there is one?
Take this with you and give it to the groomer: http://idog.biz/QuickDownloads/Professional%20Groomer%20Inst.pdf
This is great, thanks! I'm giving this to my groomer in case she gets a new doodle client who's shaggy and not curly like mine...
OK I took her! She's home. Turned out very good. I'm happy I think. Of course they blew her dry so that kind of took out all of her curls I think. I think when I get her wet she'll get wavy again. She's happy though. This is her first "good hair day" ever.
Glad it went well - send us a picture, so we can see how pretty she looks!!
