question about hair cut if i was to walk into the groomers and ask for a puppy cut what exactly would i get?? i get thats its short but will they cut the hair on the ears? what about the hair on his nose, cuz right now it gets in his eyes alot. would i have to say that i dont want him to have a topknot or does cutting that also come standard?? any info would be greatly appreciated! |
When Kela got her puppy cut. They cut her nose, bum, ears ( I had to ask them to cut those), and feet. I didnt want too much off her feet so they cut just to bottom. But they look ALOT off of her nose. Make sure you tell them that you just want the hair taken away from his eyes or they will cut half way down the nose. But she looked really cute after!! |
The best thing to do is look through the photo gallery and see what you like. Make a list of what you want and be specific when you talk to the groomer. Every groomer does it a little different. If you dont tell them exactally what you want, you may get a shock! |
lol i kno! ive heard lots of horror stories on here so i wanna make sure that doesnt happen to my baby!! |
Be sure to go in knowing exactly what you want and be able to tell the groomer that. A "puppy cut" just means a shorter cut - but how short is up to you, as well as the face shape, whether or not you want ears tipped, bangs or no bangs, topknot or no topknot, etc. So go in knowing what length you want left on the body (1 inch, 1 1/2 inch..) and it helps to have a picture of how you want the face to look because there are so many ways to cut the face. Let the groomer know if you want the ears tipped or not. Let them know where you want the hair trimmed around the eyes if you are wanting that trimmed. |
this may be a dumb question but bear with me this is my first puppy....what does it mean to have the ears tipped? |
1 Attachment(s) Tipping the ears means shaving the top part of the ear (normally about 1/4 - 1/3 of the ear). It give the ears a clean and neat appearance. Tipping the ears is the common thing to do - as in a yorkie being shown would have its ears tipped. Here is a closeup picture of Lacy - not the best pic but you can see that her ears are topped. |
I am a groomer and if some one comes to my shop and asks for a puppy cut , I start asking the questions. I want directions in detail as to what they think they want. And if I do not get a clear answer I keep asking questions until I know what they want even if they had no idea how to tell me. It is not that I can't make their dog look its best , it is that I want them to get just what they want. So if you ask for the puppy cut and the groomer does not ask you lots of questions, you better start talking. Puppy cut is a generic term, used to cut dogs short, how short is up to you and if you do not speak up it is then left up the the groomer and who knows what you will get then.....

u sound like a great groomer, i wish i lived in or! lol i found a good pic and im gonna make a list of what i want different. thanks for everyones help, it really cleared things up for me! |
As someone else mentioned, find a photo that you really like and take it with you to the groomers so there is no mistake on how short you want it. |
3 Attachment(s) Here are a few pictures of a puppy cut for you to see. This is Heidie she is soft coated and her ears flop over, she belongs to one of my clients. Attachment 135215 And here are pictures of silk coated dogs one with a top knot and one with out. Attachment 135216 And here is my Champion Tailor after his hair cut Attachment 135217 These are all a bit different but can all be called puppy cuts, I hope this helps. |
