Pictures Of Doodle, Poodle and Other Curly Pup Haircuts

Doodles, Poodles, and other curly coated breeds are among the most popular dogs in the grooming salon, but they're also some of the most coat maintenance intensive. Their soft, curly, or wavy coats require regular brushing, routine professional grooming, and realistic haircut choices based on your dog's lifestyle, body structure, coat type, coat condition, and grooming schedule.

As you'll see in the photos below, there isn't one "correct" doodle or poodle haircut. Coat lengths can range from very short and easy to maintain to beautifully fluffy, hand scissored styles. The best haircut is one that keeps your dog comfortable while matching the amount of time you can realistically devote to brushing and regular grooming appointments.

Longer curly coats require frequent brushing all the way to the skin to prevent painful matting. If a coat becomes severely tangled, the safest and most humane option is often to clip it shorter and allow it to grow back healthy.
Whether you prefer a practical, low maintenance trim or a full, fluffy teddy bear look, clear communication with your groomer, regular grooming appointments, and consistent at home coat care are the keys to keeping curly coated dogs looking and feeling their best.

Browse the photos below for examples of different coat lengths, face styles, and grooming options for doodles, poodles, and other curly coated breeds. Please remember that photos provided to a groomer may not be able to be recreated to an exact as your pup may have completely different coat, body structure and behavior than a different dog in a photo. However, we are more than happy to help you come up with something that fits your pup and lifestyle perfectly.
