Groomer Instructions

[Dawn and Molly]

O.K., I probably should have posted this before I took her to the groomer.  For the next time... How do you describe a doodle cut?  We decided to get a "summer cut" for our 6 month old puppy, Molly.  Her fur is really thick and it was pretty long.  Even though we brush her almost every day, she did wind up getting a little matte behind her ear, near her tail, and even under her chin (which we didn't think to brush well).  We have learned to be more thorough with the brushing.  

Anyway, she had an in between cut about a month ago to get her used to a groomer.  We took her to another groomer today and I told her I didn't want her shaved just a shortened summer style.  She assured us she has cut doodles before, so I thought it would be fine.  I have learned that I need to be more specific.  

So, I was wondering how you describe the cut?  Here is an "after" picture.  She looks like a different puppy.  Thanks in advance!

I appreciate this Leslie.  I think we didn't do enough "deeper" brushing.  She is nice and cool for the summer and it will be easier to maintain for a while.  I think I was just upset when I first saw her because I wasn't expecting it to be that short.  These comments have been reassuring.  It will be interesting to see her after her coat change.
