Grooming suggestions - any pictures???

[Discussing Labradoodles & Goldendoodles]

Dublin is getting groomed next week and I'd like to bring a picture along to show the groomer since the last few times he's come back looking more like a poodle. Any thoughts?

you could try this, it's a very specific instruction sheet for how to groom a doodle.

There are a few recent discussions on this. Go to the groomer group and look at the discussion on Summer Cuts.

Hope it helps! We had Timbow groomed today and took a picture with us, they did a wonderful job! I will post pictures tonight and some tomorrow. :)

Not sure what you are looking for, but here is a picture of Quincy after his last grooming. At first I thought he was too short but I quickly got used to it and he was so soft. The bonus was I didn't have to really brush him for weeks. I guess he was about 1-1 1/2 ins long. Hope this helps.

If you have the Doodle calander then you could bring it to show the groomer what type of cut you like best. Hope it turns out well.

I would say to go to someone who has a decent amount of experience with different breeds. I have several groomer friends and they have told me that places like Petco often have less experienced groomers that have done mostly shave downs. It isn't always the case. However, these places are often starting points for groomers to get their foot in the door of grooming.

If you like the longer shaggy look - I would say an Old English Sheepdog is quite similiar. You got some great suggestions already. In general I keep Max on the longer side, closer to 3 inches because he is a mini LD, I prefer his ears cut short. You can google images of labradoodles and bring the groomer a copy of the picture.

you can print this book out or simply email it to your groomer.
