This is a great video. I used to trim my airedales and now I am challenged with a 16 week old australian labradoodle puppy. Slowly introducing her to tools, etc. This video will be my "go to" resource. Thank YOU! And yes, an ear plucking video would be very helpful.

This is by far the BEST video I've watched about clipping/grooming a doodle's face/head. EARS - YES. Please let me know where to find a tutorial on plucking the ear hair. My dogs love to swim and it's imperative that their ears are clean from extra hair so they dry out. I also love how you've clipped the dogs legs/feet! Very few grooms get that right. : )

Also be sure that you have brushed the hair completely, down to the skin, look up tutorials on line brushing, line brushing is the technique thay ensures thay you brush correctly on curly "non shedding" dogs

Australian Labradoodles have lines tracing back to the original breed, which came from Australia. The parent breeds are Labrador Retrievers and Standard Poodles.

@aubrylong4920 2 жыл бұрын

I’m a pretty new groomer and we get people in requesting all different haircuts for doodles. The breeders tell them how it should be cut or they find things online. We always tell them it’s completely up to them and their preference for how they want their dog to look. So just curious why is there such confusion for what it’s definitely supposed to look like and why are people being told so many different things for doodles?

@BigRockLabradoodles 2 жыл бұрын

Hi there! Gosh, I wish I could answer that!! Not all breeders are created equal. Not all breeders are real breeders! Unfortunately, so many "doodle" breeders are just in it for the quick money. There is definitely a "breed standard" among ALAA and WALA, but, outside of that, no. I have recorded grooming videos on what I call the "Big Rock Look", but to my best awareness, this is the "look" that ALL Australian Labradoodles should have!! The goal is a diamond shaped head (long on top, allowing a natural part, ears long in front, and groomed to the leather in back and bottom third of front, blended into a pointed long beard). For better reference, please watch my videos!! Any" breeder" not recommending this, is not a true breeder of Australian Labradoodles. Furthermore, those of us invested in this breed are very much promoting that they be groomed every 6-8 weeks, with a daily light brushing, plus a weekly DEEP brushing. You CANNOT get a Doodle and expect to not brush them! That is utter foolishness!!

Something i would advise not to do especially for inexperienced groomers is to try not to bounce around with your scissors, use your fingers at any time possible to protect parts that are easy to cut especially if you are bouncing your hands around

@liliejorgensen1490 Ай бұрын

Nose, eyelids, lips, ears (which she showed beautifully) and especially the neck folds hold the skin taut by stretching the skin to lay flat while you are cutting that area.

@liliejorgensen1490 Ай бұрын

Step back and be sure that you are creating the shape you want, the muzzle from the front, the cheeks to the top of the head, and from the side should all be cohesive enough. Always be using your greyhound comb (the straight metal toothed comb) to fluff the hair out and then down how the hair naturally lays.
