Ah, she looks great Laura, like velvet. Glad she has a good experience this time.
They do look younger and more puppy like when they're shorter don't they? I do still like the shaggy look so I am trying to keep pepper at a manageable inch or two but last night I found a Matt caused by her collar so going to try the de Matt for the first time.

Yeah hey do look younger :) & good luck! Hope it works well for you :) I'll give Izzie a quick brush today to show that it's not always nasty to get brushed, especially if she lets me do a bit a day, then she won't get matted & knotty :)
 
I am in the ' I like the shaggy look' too. In my very humble opinion I think
most poo's look nicer shaggy but I do realise it is a lot of hard work to keep them matt free...I'm still putting up a good fight but who knows how long for:):)
 
My hubby loves Honey with a lamb cut ... it is the soft touch and no matts ... no matts means less grooming time with JoJo, therefore more Honey and daddy cuddle time ha ha ha....

I am going to have to try the les poochs I think ... Honey's is having a matty moment :)
Do you have any?? You can try mine before buying if you like - I can post them to you...
 
Im just looking at groomers for Arthur's 1st puppy groom and to be honest I am feeling a little nervous about it. I think if you've found someone you like and has done a good job stay with them, thats what Im hoping for! Izzie looks fab - job well done x :)

Yeah I think you're right, especially when it comes to dogs like cockapoos that need to be groomed throughout their lives because of their coat, you need to find someone you trust & who your dog trusts. We're sticking with the people we found first from now on & good luck finding a good groomer for Arthur as well :)

& thank you :) She does look gorgeous, strange seeing her so short & skinny, but she looks & feels beautiful & a couple of months & she'll be back to normal lol x
 
She looks beautiful! I like seeing picures of cockapoos that look cute short because i think we'll have to keep Olive shorter. We'll see! I do like the shaggy look more, but I think a shorter cut would be much easier and realistic for me!

Aww thank you :D Glad you think she looks nice! Yeah sometimes it can be more practical, especially if the coat is more poodle like as it can be difficult to keep up to matts depending on how much time you have for grooming.

The teddy bear cut is longer than the lamb, a lamb is very short (generally if they get badly matted they will need to be lamb cut), but if the coat is groomed regularly & kept up to a teddy bear cut would be fine, it's mainly just means a trim & a tidy up :) x

aww she looks lovely! i think i would like Teds body like this but with longer hair on legs do you think this would look ok? x
Thank you :) SHe is very short though this time, although tbh the one place I like the coat shorter is on her legs lol. When she goes out in the garden or for walks when it's long they take ages to dry & more cleaning because there's more hair. But that's down to personal opinion & experience, we like to keep her head & coat a bit longer generally but we like it to be manageable.

I'm sure it would look lovely, but again it's just personal opinions and what you want your dog to look like, but all cockapoos are gorgeous :D x
