Do you give your doodle a short grooming cut for the summer?

Nugget got her summer cut today. We tried something new and it worked great! I made an appt for her with a mobile grooming van. The guy was great, she looks good, she is very cool and happy and I didn't need to leave her anywhere! He came right to our driveway. Win-win. A bit more pricey than a regular groomer, but since I do most of her groomings myself, I figured it was OK to splurge on the summer cut grooming.

Her body is pretty close shaved, her ears and tail are fluffy. We miss the doodle-fluff, too, but she is SOOOO happy and it will grow back.

Lilly gets her summer cut tomorrow, I left her long all winter and she is feeling the heat now, she walks around and pants in the AC. We get her about 1 inch.

Guess I'm the "odd man - woman out" - I like to keep Tori a bit longer than most... she's much shorter than winter but still long from what I see here. I will try and take a picture of her tomorrow and post. Hope Coach came out the way you wanted today!

Thanks! Short but will grow out!

Absolutely. Angus is SO much more comfortable with a puppy cut. He looks like an entirely different dog - much thinner looking, but without it, the slightest exercise in the warmer months leaves him panting. He gets a lot of exercise and I don't want to curtail his pleasure by making him wear a winter coat in the summer. It grows back very quickly. I find even a 1" cut too long for the summer for him - don't know exactly how short she does it - probably half inch. I have his head and tail left longer. Good luck.

My groomer did a 3/4 cut and it is short, but like you said it will grow back. He is more comfortable in this heat. He goes on runs with my daughter and I don't worry as much when he is cut short.
