The poodle is one of the most popular breeds in the world. Due to the lack of undercoat and the special structure of the coat, these dogs practically do not shed. In order for your poodle to always be beautiful and well-groomed, it must be trimmed periodically.
Instructions
Step 1
Poodles are champions in the variety of hairstyles that can be applied to their fur. Typically, these dogs are sheared with scissors and electric clippers.
Step 2
The simplest hairstyle for a poodle is ultra-short hair on the legs (like socks) and muzzle, and moderately long hair throughout the rest of the body. On the head, you can make a beautiful hat, and gently trim the hair on the ears.
Step 3
No less popular is the "lion-like" haircut. To do this, it is necessary to completely remove the hair on the hind legs, excluding the hocks - there you need to arrange pompons. Further, the wool is removed from the croup, abdomen and groin. The tail is cut in such a way that a beautiful pompom is also obtained at the end. After that, you need to smoothly cut the muzzle, flews and two-thirds of the throat (oval or V-shaped). The front legs are cut in the same way as the hind legs, taking into account the pompons. The coat on the chest, neck and front of the back is trimmed in the shape of a lion's mane. The upper part of the head is decorated with a beautiful cap.
Step 4
The Anglo-Saxon haircut is also very popular with poodle owners. The front of the body follows the contour of the "lion-like" haircut. On the paws, face and throat, the hair is completely clipped with a clipper. On the lower back, croup and groin it is necessary to leave wool 1-2 cm long. The wool from which the mane is formed should be simply trimmed carefully. Remove wool from the tail completely.
Step 5
These are just a few of the options for trimming a poodle. Applying fantasy from the wool of these dogs, you can make real masterpieces. If you are going to participate with your pet in exhibitions, then you should find in advance an experienced groomer who knows the exhibition canons of grooming poodles. If you bought a dog just for fun, then you can limit yourself to a haircut in a regular zoo hairdresser or arrange the dog's coat yourself.
Step 6
When self-grooming a poodle, it should be borne in mind that this procedure is not very pleasant for a dog, so you will have to be patient. Gradually train your dog to trim, praising and treating him regularly. At first, it will be difficult for you to get a full haircut in one go. Don't be upset! The more patience and affection you put into the process, the faster you will get great results and a stunning hairstyle for your pet!
