How to Look Good Naked!!

[Donna K & Quincy]

There have been a lot of cases where because of matts, our doodles ended up naked. While Quincy has never been totally naked, the last time he actually went to a groomer he came darn close and it wasn't because he had matts. I had a long conversation with the groomer, gave her explicit instructions and a picture of what I wanted him to look like, it was not even close. It was that last grooming that inspired me to groom him myself.

While it wasn't a totally bad job, his head looked funny for months and he had razor burns on his belly and I'm not convinced they actually gave him a bath, he didn't have that nice fresh from the groomer smell and his feet still had green grass stains from a game of ball the night before. Here is a pic(not a very good one) of Quincy the day he got groomed. He looks angry.



I don't think he liked his new cut any better than I did. On the bright side, I didn't have to brush him for a few weeks.

So share your pictures of your naked doodles and how they rock the naked look.

Rosie looks so happy and in Bandit's after pic you can tell which end is which. :>)

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

They are adorable either way. I love Bandit's expression in the last picture and Rosie looks very happy!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

Suzann you apparently do not have a sadistic groomer like some of us... who are now home groomers!!  They look great!

[Bonnie and Kona]

agreed. your babies are still furry and adorable

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Smoooooooth!

[F, Calla & Luca]

Nice dos but Rosie looks pretty short in the before.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

What a dramatic change for Bandit!  I love him shorter....oh and pretty Rosey.

Donna, I went back through my photos and had forgotten about this one of Fudge. I took her to a new groomer and we got our signals crossed and it almost seemed like a completely different dog when I picked her up. Here are the before and after shots! Thank goodness, her hair grows fast.

Oh, Poor Fudge, if your mom even says the word groomer, run, run like the wind. Laurie, you never fail to make me laugh. Fudge, you are so much like me, we both look better with our clothes on.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

I can tell you, I did not tip that groomer :) Fudge will never be naked again!

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

Wait a minute Laurie...that isn't really Fudge!!!  Her ears do NOT go up like that and no Doodle's does that I am aware of.  I think you are up to your old tricks again of cutting/pasting different dogs in different places...right?

[Donna K & Quincy]

Her ears stand up straight without all that fur to weigh them down. :>)
