First haircut

[TeddyDoodles]

So my 7 month old doodle just got his fur shaved for the first time today, I knew I wasn't going to like it but it had to be done because the summer has been too hot for him. Will his fur grow back the same or will it be different? And how long does it take to go back to his cute shaggy look?

This is a tough question to answer because he was close to the point where he would have been going through the coat change so it is very possible that when the coat comes back in it will be different than the puppy coat.  How different, it is hard to tell.  Some are much curlier, some are not as soft and a little fuzzier, so don't change much at all.  Not knowing how short he was cut makes it hard to know how long it will take him to grow out.   The only thing for sure is that he will be adorable whatever it looks like.

It's probably not even a inch long, has no more curl to it at all. I hope I made the right decision on getting him cut, I just felt bad because it was like he was wearing a winter coat in the summer.

Most of the doodles I groom come back in 2-3 months looking like giant furballs--the hair grows back fast!!

Thanks that's good to know!
