Poodle haircut: hairstyle options

Poodle haircuts are always a must.
It is a matter of health, convenience and hygiene. The hair of this breed is very thick, long, more like a sheep's than a dog's. Moreover, the hairs between the toes or in the ears can grow to the same length as the hair on the rest of the body. The coat does not fall off during shedding, but remains in the undercoat. Because of this, a large number of mats are formed. If your pet is not groomed, he will become very unkempt and may develop a skin infection.

Despite some inconveniences, poodle hair is an excellent material for creating works of hairdressing art. Groomers love this breed: the dog is easy to work with, it tolerates procedures calmly, and its coat allows you to create beautiful hairstyles.

Many people do not like the frilly appearance of the breed. In the past, poodles were used as hunting dogs, and their hairstyle had specific functions:

The short fur on the paws allowed them to swim quickly.
A thick covering on the chest protected the lungs from the cold.
Pompoms on the tail and paws protected the delicate skin from thorny plants.
Long bangs covered her eyes from the rain and branches.

How to choose a groomer

Finding a good groomer is similar to finding a good hairdresser. Unprofessional mistakes will take a very long time to correct.

Good groomer:

Has a diploma of completion of courses. It is highly desirable to have various certificates confirming the continuous improvement of skills.
The groomer must know the characteristics of the breed. If the master does not cut the Spitz, you should not give him the dog. Especially if she is going to perform at an exhibition.
It is imperative to have high-quality tools that are kept clean. The work area is also clean and tidy.
If you decide to cut your Pomeranian short (boo or lion), a professional groomer is obliged to inform you about all the consequences of such a haircut.
The groomer must be able to establish contact with animals. For many dogs, a new place and the procedure itself causes great stress. Rough treatment will only make the situation worse. And rudeness in itself is unacceptable in any salon.

It is important to take care of such a high-maintenance breed. Otherwise, the luxurious dog turns into a shapeless ball of hair. Beautiful coat is an indicator of the health of the Spitz and the quality of care on the part of the owner.

Dog Show Grooming

Several main types of haircuts are allowed to participate in the exhibition.

Poodles with this hairstyle look luxurious. To give the appearance of a lion, you need to cut the back of the body short and trim the front a little. Hair is left on the paws and tail to create pompoms.

Some possible variations:

English lion: the limbs have short pants, and a belt of short-cropped wool 1 cm wide is created at the waist.
Scandinavian Lion: Suitable for animals with less than ideal proportions. The hair at the front is cut in a semicircle. A cap is created on the top of the head, and pompoms on the paws. If the procedure is performed successfully, you can hide some of the pet’s shortcomings.

Puppy or "Pappy"

Show dogs can wear this hairstyle for up to a year. The fur on the face is shaved short, and on the body it is only slightly shortened. The head is cut to give it the shape of a helmet.

Continental

This hairstyle looks like a “lion”. The second half of the body is trimmed very short: from the last rib to the ankles of the hind legs, the cover is shaved under the clipper. There should also be short hair on the muzzle. There are bracelets on the limbs and a pompom on the tail. Two pom-poms are also present on the rump.

Non-show poodle grooming

You can choose the types of haircuts listed above for your pet or choose another interesting option.

Kennel

The haircut is very practical, it can be worn for a long time without adjustment. The muzzle is machined. There is a cap on the top of the head, and a pompom on the tail. The cover on the body has the same length.

Lamb/ewe lamb

Similar to the previous version, only slightly longer.

Dutch

Will look good on royal poodles. The body is divided into 4 segments and then processed with scissors. The main feature: a cut belt in the middle of the body or at the “waist”.

Korean

The body is shaved like a lamb. The muzzle has a round shape, the hair on it can be longer than on the head, but it must have a smooth transition. As a result, the pet gets a cartoonish, toy-like appearance.

Of the minuses: the fur on the face needs to be regularly combed and cleaned after eating.

Sports

The pet has a short haircut. The length is maintained at two thirds of the tail and ears. The head also has a cap that hangs slightly over the back of the head. This is a great hairstyle for everyday wear.

Clown

With a Clown haircut, the body has short hair. Bracelets are formed on the paws, and a pompom is formed on the tip of the tail. A small cap is created on the head, while the hair on the ears remains long. This poodle haircut is good for summer.

Veteran

Suitable for older animals. The back part is cut off completely, including the tail, while the front part remains like a “lion”. The covering on the head is practically not touched; the bracelets remain on the paws.

Bikini

The pet has short fur on its body. Large bracelets are formed on the limbs. The head and tail are processed as standard. This hairstyle is very simple and can be done at home.

Bichon

Processing is carried out mainly with scissors. With it, the dog is very similar to the Bichon Frize breed. The fur on the body is cut like a puppy. The head is processed so that it has a rounded outline.

teddy bear

This is almost a copy of the puppy hairstyle, only without processing the paws. It makes the poodle look like a teddy bear.

Hygienic grooming

Implies two types of processing. The first is maintaining the current hairstyle and decent appearance of the dog.

The second type is tidying up a neglected animal. In this case, the entire coat is cut off. Often wounds and abrasions are found underneath, so the master must carry out all manipulations very carefully.

Features of grooming

The coat of this breed consists of undercoat and guard hair. The first is soft spiral-shaped hairs, which make up most of the cover. Spitz hair is straight, has a rigid structure and grows perpendicular to the body.

The first haircut should be done in the 3rd month of the puppy’s life. At this age, the first molt begins. You can trim the hairs on your dog's ears and give his paws a rounded shape.

At 11–12 months, the Spitz begins to shed again. Once this process is over, you can start experimenting with haircuts.

The volume of a dog's fur increases over the course of 3 years. During this time, a permanent coat is formed, and the volume of shedding is reduced. These animals shed slowly, so you don’t have to worry about balls of fur flying throughout your apartment.

Spitz dogs should be cut every two to three months. Regular care prevents:

formation of tangles;
severe shedding and fluff flying throughout the apartment;
awn prolapse.

A thick fur coat is the pride of the breed. A dog should not be cut bald in order to save it from the heat. This makes the animal vulnerable to burns and overheating. The best solution is to choose a cute hairstyle and cut it according to it.

Is it possible to cut a poodle's hair yourself?

It is better to entrust a show dog to a specialist. Any mistake will not allow the pet to take part in the competition.

It is not recommended to cut your poodle's hair yourself. This haircut may turn out to be unsightly, since the poodle's coat is very specific and requires special training.

In addition, it is dangerous because haircuts are performed using a sharp instrument, which requires certain skills.

In our salon we currently give poodles a home-style haircut.

Basic rules for grooming poodles

If the animal does not want to have its hair cut, it is better to postpone the procedure until later. Uncertain actions and a spinning pet are not the best companions in creating a high-quality hairstyle.
The belly and muzzle have very delicate skin, so all actions in these areas must be performed very carefully.
Treatment is carried out in the direction of hair growth, except for the front legs.
The animal should not be turned on the table - you should walk around the dog.
Hair between the fingers must be removed. When they fall off, they hurt.
After the procedure, the dog needs to be washed again and its nails trimmed with pliers. Then it should be dried and combed against the grain. Finally, you can add volume to the pompoms using a comb.

How to cut a poodle like a Scandinavian lion

First, the muzzle is processed with a machine. The fur is cut very short on the neck as well.
The hind legs are cut in the direction of growth, starting from the bend. The hair should be approximately 1-2 cm.
Using scissors, hair is removed between the fingers.
The zero attachment trims the hair on the thighs, lower part of the tail and groin area.
A pompom is formed with scissors.
Hair about 1 cm long remains on the front legs, with the exception of the area where the bracelets are formed. They are also cut using scissors.
The head, back and chest are trimmed with scissors.

Korean haircut

After washing and drying, the pet is fixed on the table.
The machine is used to treat the body, paws and neck. You can leave the fur the same length or make a smooth transition to the lower third of the paws, forming flares. In this case, the length of the hair throughout the body must be at least 25 mm.
Using scissors, the cover on the muzzle is cut, except for the area where the mustache and beard will be.
The hair on the head and ears can be left to any length, depending on what suits the dog best.
Then the neck and body are processed.
After this, the pompoms on the tail are formed with scissors.

Hygienic haircut

To maintain your current hairstyle, the following steps are necessary:

Processing begins with the muzzle. Using the nozzle, hair is shaved from the ear to the cheek to the nose. The mustache and hairs around the eyes are trimmed with scissors. Then the head should be raised to work on the neck.
After this, the paws are processed. The upper part is cut short with a clipper, and the pompoms are trimmed with scissors.
The hair on the tail is also removed, with the exception of the tip.
The cover on the back, sides and chest can be cut with a clipper or scissors, depending on the type of hairstyle.
Be sure to remove overgrown hairs between your fingers.

If the dog is neglected, a hygienic haircut is carried out only with the help of a clipper, since it is necessary to remove as much hair as possible.

A high-quality machine is important to perform the procedure. For home purposes, a model with a vibration drive and rigidly fixed knives is suitable. A prerequisite is the ability to adjust the length from 0.5 to 3 mm. It’s good if the trimmer has non-grinding ceramic titanium blades.

Types of haircuts

Thanks to the thick coat of the Spitz dog, you can come up with a large number of looks.

Classical (exhibition)

Allows you to highlight the beauty of the breed. With it, the dog should have rounded features.

After such a haircut, the pet acquires the following features:

The collar around the head takes on a round shape.
The tail lies fanned out and reaches the back of the head.
The ears have a round shape and are buried in the cover.
The paws are similar to a cat's and have rounded outlines.
There are no protruding “antennas” throughout the body and on the collar.

Such grooming should be carried out six months before the exhibition. It is important that traces of intervention are invisible.

Modern

It is similar to a classic haircut, but the dog's coat is processed more carefully. The animal gets a plush look. The correct technique does not harm the structure of the undercoat and guard.

Hygienic

This haircut includes:

Removing vegetation between the toes and around the paws.
Shaving the fur around the genitals and anus.
Thorough combing and treatment of the entire body.

Model

This grooming involves more thorough processing. The dog gets a funny and very cute look. The pet takes on new shapes and becomes similar to another animal.

Types of model haircuts

Under the “bear cub” (under Boo)

This style became popular after photographs of a dwarf Spitz named Boo appeared. The dog was very reminiscent of a soft toy, thereby captivating millions of people and introducing a new fashion into the dog world.

Features of the “Boo” haircut:

The coat on the body is small, but of the same length.
The cover on the paws is also short.
Round head, resembling a ball.

This hairstyle is not suitable for all animals. Boo the dog has a very thick undercoat and a small amount of awns. Because of this, the pet was very difficult to comb, and the owner cut it this way. She has a second Pomeranian and she doesn't cut it like that.

Under the lion

The second most popular model haircut option after Boo. The dog's body is processed by a machine. The fur is completely shaved down to the shoulder blades. Hair remains on the tip of the tail, muzzle and in the collar area.

As a result, the Spitz resembles a lion with a luxurious mane.

Under the fox

The pet becomes like a fox. Sometimes the fur is tinted to make it even more similar.

We do not recommend cutting your Pomeranian haircut too short (i.e., lion or Boo). The fact is that the existing undercoat will become matted and the dog will look unkempt. In addition, the wool may not regain its structure. After such experiments, the dog is unlikely to grow back to its previous length. In severe cases, baldness may develop, which will be very difficult to cure.

How to properly comb a poodle

To prevent combing from causing pain to your pet, it is important to choose the right combs. For the procedure you will need:

A brush with soft bristles. It is better that the cord is springy or on a curved base. Dogs should not be brushed with brushes that have bleach (white droplets at the tip of the bristles). They tear hair, which is painful for your pet.
Metal comb with round and non-sharp teeth.

To see if the brush will scratch your skin, run the bristles over your hand. If it gets scratched, it's better to choose another one. The length of the comb teeth and the size of the brush itself are selected individually depending on the size of the dog.

It is best to brush your dog on the table. It is better to start from the neck, gradually going down to the stomach. Movements should be smooth, against the growth of hair from the roots.

To unravel the tangle, you can apply oil or a special spray to it. The final step is to comb your hair with a comb to check for any tangles.

You can brush your pet once a week. If you find a tangle, it is better to immediately remove it with your hands or a comb.

How to care between haircuts:

Combing

Spitz dogs do not need daily brushing, as otherwise they may lose most of their undercoat. You can brush your dog about 1-2 times a week.

The algorithm for this procedure is as follows:

First, a grooming spray is applied to the fur. As a replacement, you can use Gliss Kur express conditioner. This is necessary to relieve static tension.
The dog is combed with a massager with sparse teeth against the growth of the hair. If the comb goes well, then there are no tangles.
Then you need to go through the wool with a slicker. The fur coat is combed in all directions to collect fluff.
After this, the remaining fluff is collected with a comb in the direction of growth. They also pull out strands, unravel tangles and add volume.

Mats accumulate most in the groin, armpits and ears. To make it easier to untangle clumps of fur, you can treat them with a special product.

Puppies under 4 months should be combed with a soft comb according to the growth of their coat. As you grow older, you can begin to scratch against the grain, and also get used to harder combs.

the washing up

Spitz don't like to wash themselves. And this procedure should be carried out no more than once a month. You can start bathing your puppy at the age of 3-4 months.

The animal's coat can be cleaned with dry shampoo. It will collect dirt and grease and make your pet tidier.

Spitz dogs must be dried. Their wool is porous and absorbs a lot of moisture. Therefore, after bathing, the animal should be dried with two towels and then dried with a hairdryer at medium power.

A couple more tips for care:

It is not recommended to wash your pet during shedding, otherwise the hair will begin to fall out even more intensely.
When bathing, you need to put cotton balls in your dog's ears to prevent water from getting inside.
It is better to swim in the evening after a walk. It is not advisable to take the dog out after the procedure.
You cannot dye wool with pigments.
Do not tie ponytails with silicone rubber bands.

Poodle haircut: how to properly cut a boy's and girl's dog's haircut

There are many hairstyles for poodles. Some of them are intended for home use, others are only for exhibitions. Therefore, when choosing a model, the owner must decide whether he is going to make a champion out of the poodle or not.

The choice of haircut also affects where the pet will be cut: at home by the owner or in a salon by a professional. You can do simple haircuts yourself, but complex haircuts are best done by a professional.

Grooming a Poodle: General Rules

The general list of recommendations is as follows:

Before you start cutting your hair, you should choose a hairstyle and read about it in detail. The haircut will be better if you know the sequence.
The dog needs to be bathed and dried before grooming.
If the poodle bites and does not allow the procedure to be carried out, it is better to postpone it until later.
The dog is groomed while standing. They always start cutting from the back and move downwards. The muzzle, anus and fingers are sensitive places, so you need to handle them very carefully.
Movements with tools should follow the shape of the poodle's body. The pet will look more natural and the haircut will be neater.
The cover is trimmed in the direction of growth. Exception: forelimbs.
When cutting a short haircut, do not remove all the hair at once, but do it layer by layer.
The tummy and paws must be trimmed - this is important from a hygiene point of view.
Trim the hair between the fingers.

How is grooming carried out?

Haircut consists of several procedures:

combing;
bathing, including ear and eye treatment;
removal of hair in the anus, genitals, between the fingers;
nail trimming.

If necessary, the pet is washed and dried again.

The haircut itself consists of many stages:

The paws are treated first. Using thin scissors, the hair between the fingers and on the pads is trimmed.
Next comes the processing of the “pants” from top to bottom using a machine.
After the “pants” the master works with the base of the tail. The hair in the area of the anus and genitals is also trimmed.
Then comes the treatment of the abdomen using a machine. A fur length of at least 3 cm is left.
After this comes the important stage - cutting the tail. It is important not to spoil its beauty.
Then the fur on the ears is trimmed: the overgrown “antennas” are removed and given a rounded shape.
The back and sides are trimmed immediately with ordinary scissors, and then with thinning scissors.
The area along the spine is carefully processed to ensure the tail fits beautifully.

Should you trim your poodle at home or at the groomer?

A regular hygienic poodle haircut can be done at home if the owner has the necessary tools and skills.

But if your pet is preparing for an exhibition, you cannot do without the help of a professional. Moreover, the master must have experience in grooming specifically with poodles.

If the owner is afraid of injuring the pet or is not confident in his abilities, then it is better to go to a salon for a hygienic haircut. A professional will find a common language with the dog and do everything efficiently for an affordable price.

Grooming a Poodle for the First Time: When to Start

You can cut your puppy's hair from the age of four months. It is better if the procedure takes place at home, in a familiar environment. At first, the baby may not understand what is being done to him, so it is important that he worries as little as possible.

Important! Some salons provide. This will save the owner from hassle, and the puppy will learn to communicate with a stranger.

When your baby gets used to getting a haircut, you can take him to the salon. It is better for the owner not to be present during the process.

The poodle may begin to get nervous and look for protection in the owner, and therefore will constantly fidget and interfere with the master’s work. This means the risk of injury from sharp scissors increases.

For the same reason, you should not call your pet or attract its attention.

A difficult case - grooming aggressive dogs

What to do when the dog is an adult, large, with a pronounced dominant type of behavior and is not accustomed to cutting its hair? Such a complex case requires a special approach . And it is better if this approach is performed by a specialist.

To do this, the dog must be taken to a grooming salon. On foreign territory, aggressors behave differently than they are used to at home . There are different orders here, and the animal feels it.

But! There is another important aspect to this behavioral problem. Very often, it is not shepherd dogs and giant schnauzers who bare their teeth, growl and snarl, but handsome ones - Yorkies and plush toy poodles. Experts attribute this “paradox” to the fact that owners, as a rule, are not involved in raising their “kids.” Couch pets get away with a lot, and over time it becomes a problem .

But why do usually affectionate Yorkshire terriers suddenly begin to hate scissors and hair dryers, which is why they fly into a rage? Finding out the reasons for a dog’s aggression allows you to correct its reaction to a haircut and correct its behavior during grooming.

3 reasons for aggression in dogs

Fear

Decorative dogs are more likely to suffer from this problem. Perhaps their first experience with scissors was painful or had consequences. Something really scared them. The fear was fixed in the mind by the image of clanking scissors or the noise of a hairdryer.

This cause of an aggressive reaction to a haircut is difficult to eliminate. Only patience and affection will help. Experts advise calling a groomer to your home for the first time and not taking your dog to the salon, where everything is foreign, scary and causes a panic attack in the animal.

The cause of fear is easy to recognize; just watch the dog. If she is cheerful and friendly in any situation when she is not threatened by scissors and a machine, then that’s the problem.

Nervous type

Nervous dogs often behave aggressively in stressful situations. Incomprehensible manipulations with fur, strange sounds, unfamiliar salon furnishings, the absence of the owner nearby, strange hands - all this causes severe discomfort in a choleric dog with an excitable nervous system .

She is lost, does not know how to behave, and finds a way out in aggression.

This reason can be eliminated by calling a groomer to your home, who will confidently and affectionately cut the pet’s hair in the presence of the owner.

Advice: it is better if the dog is groomed by the same groomer or family member.

Dominant type

It is difficult for a novice groomer to cope with a domestic tyrant who establishes his own rules. For an owner who has been playing by his dog’s rules for a long time, this is a completely impossible task.

Therefore, only a specialist can cope with the dominant type of aggressor on his own territory. Therefore, in this case, the haircut should be done in a salon.

It’s not difficult to identify a dominant dog – one that won’t let you near its bowl and won’t allow you to take the ball away from it.

Note : aggressive dogs of large breeds are always clipped with a muzzle, using special methods of fixing the obstinate dog, sometimes (as a last resort) - under general anesthesia.

Poodle haircuts: shapes and types

The poodle's coat encourages experimentation. There are many interesting models for this breed. A simple hygienic haircut will suit your pet. And show dogs require special shapes.

Important! Choosing a hairstyle for your pet should also take into account the time of year.

Haircut "Scandinavian Lion"

It’s not difficult to guess from the name; a poodle trimmed in this way resembles a lion. The hair on the head has a direct transition along the neck, the eyes remain open.

All hairs on the face are completely removed. But boys can keep short mustaches.

The coat is even on the ears and remains long along the body, except for the butt and hips. Balls or pom-poms are made of wool on the limbs and tail.

Haircut "Modern"

The limbs, muzzle, throat and foretail are completely shaved. In other places the cover is shortened. According to the norm, it should not be longer than a centimeter.

There are variations of this hairstyle, so the groomer must be well versed in it. Improper execution will be grounds for disqualification.

Anglo-Saxon haircut

Looks like a lion's hairstyle. The general shape is cut according to the principle of a lion. However, on the back, lower back and groin, the hair is kept up to 1 cm long. A ball is made on the tail.

The entire muzzle and neck are shaved. It is permissible to trim the “cuffs” on the hind legs.

Korean haircut

A poodle clipped in this way is like a lamb. The fur on the body and limbs is cut to two and a half centimeters.

The length on the head can be longer, the main thing is that the dog is similar to a children's toy.

Hygienic haircut

When the pet has not been groomed for a long time, this haircut is performed. The coat is completely shaved to rid the poodle of tangles and tangles. This is done when nothing can be combed out or fixed in any other way.

Another case is trimming a haircut. The groomer simply evens out the coat, making the poodle more neat.

Important! If injuries are found during the cutting process, they should be treated immediately. If necessary, contact a veterinarian.

Haircut "Continental"

This is a show haircut. The head, body and paws are cut according to the “lion” principle. The difference is the formation of two balls of fur on the poodle's body.
