What is a Poodle Teddy Bear Cut, and How Does It Work?
Since their introduction as show dogs and companions, poodles have been groomed in many different ways.
Original Poodles were water retrievers, and their curly coat made it easy for hunters to keep them clean. After a long day duck hunting, nobody had the time to groom their Poodle.
They are no longer used for their original purpose. They are now companions and show pets.
We have the resources and time to make them as beautiful or as fancy as you like.
The teddy bear haircut is a Poodle or Doodle style in which the dog’s hair is kept between 1-2 inches and the head.
Traditional Poodle cuts involve shaving the face close to the skin. The face will look more serious, royal, and show-dog if it is shaved.
The teddy bear haircut however leaves the hair on the head the same length as the rest of the body. This makes the dog’s face look more puppy-like or teddy bear-like.
Skilled groomers can shape the coat so that it appears smooth and even. The dog will appear to have round features just like a Teddy Bear. Cute toy poodle teddy bear just for you.
