Many people choose poodle mixes or "doodles" over purpose bred Poodles, because they "don't want them to look like a poodle"

The good news is, Poodle hair can be groomed into just about any cut! If you prefer the pet "doodle" look, that's just a matter of having a conversation with your groomer!

In this case, you CAN have your cake and eat it too!

Get the benefits of a well bred, healthy dog from a responsible breeder, along with the cute haircut! Another advantage of a responsibly bred purebred poodle is consistency. You'll go into it knowing what size, hair type and temperament you're going to get!

Long, Mixed Coats and Doodle coats require constant attention by daily brushing and combing. We will groom these on a 6-8 week schedule Maximum. - Any longer timescale is unfair on the Dog and the Groomer.
Matted dogs Will be shaved off.
Thank you for your understanding 🐾

The severely matted pet. Professional groomers see these cases more often than we would like. They can be heartbreaking because we understand the pain and disease that often accompany these cases. Here are a few things to understand about matted coats:

1. Severely matted coats cannot simply be 'brushed out'. Yes, a few matts that are not matted to skin can be brushed out, but sever matting means shaving. There is not an option to 'leave the coat fluffy' because clipper blades must pass under matts not through them. This often means a very short shave.
2. When the coat is severely matted, often referred to as pelted, the coat cannot properly regulate body temperature. Both canines and felines use thermoregulation to keep the body cool or warm depending on the weather. This means the body struggles much harder to maintain normal temperature.
3. Matted coats are almost always accompanied by some type of skin disease. Matting holds excess moisture and bacteria and/or fungus near the skin. As the natural microbiome is decreased, the skin becomes susceptible to infection from these diseases.
4. Matted coats are painful and that's a fact. The extra weight pulls on the skin causing discomfort. When matting is present around legs, ears, or tail, proper movement can become impeded and painful. This is why we term this 'neglectful abuse'. This type of matting does not occur overnight.

If your pet's coat has gotten out of control, contact your professional groomer NOW. The longer you wait, the worse it will be and the more the pet suffers.
