Is that a Poodle?

[Sharlene Tupas]

I took Maggie to the groomers last year and they shaved her face.  At first I didn't care for it but it was so much easier to keep her face clean that I've kept it like that and really like it now.  Only thing is most everyone thinks she is a poodle now.  Whenever we are out in public, that's the number one question we are asked.  "Is that a Poodle"?  It's to the point now that if I'm in a hurry or busy, I just say yes because it takes some time to explain exactly what she is.  No matter what though, she is an invaluable member of our family and I'm so thankful that we have her!

I`m betting that most of our doodles would be confused with poodles it they were shave down. I have been known to confuse the two myself. Now I look at the tail, most doodles don`t have docked tails.

Seriously, poodles are a much more common and recognizable breed.  When scruffy doodles are confused with poodles, why would you think that a doodle cut more like a poodle wouldn't be confused as such?  Maggie is beautiful and her style is unique to her.

I love Myla's long haired messy face!!! She's beautiful no matter what!

We don't keep Ned's face short and we still get the poodle identification.  For him, I think it is because he is smaller and has a more poodle-like coat.

we get this all the time with Lola. We normally keep her face pretty short too (for the same reasons! Her food is fish-based, so you can imagine how she smells when it starts growing out!!!)....and I agree, who cares what people think!!
