Groodles (Golden Retriever × Poodle, known as Goldendoodles elsewhere) are among the most popular breeds in Australia for the teddy bear cut. Their large, fluffy coat creates an impressive teddy bear finish that showcases the breed's friendly, gentle nature. The style works particularly well on Groodles because their wavy-to-curly fleece coat holds the rounded shape beautifully.

Groodles Teddy Bear Cut FAQ

What does a teddy bear cut look like on a Groodle?

A Groodle teddy bear cut features a large, round face with the muzzle and cheeks blended into a soft ball shape. The body is clipped to 1-2 inches evenly, with slightly fuller legs for a "column" look. The tail is left as a full plume. Given the Groodle's size, the teddy bear cut creates an impressive, huggable appearance.

How much does a Groodle teddy bear cut cost in Australia?

Groodle teddy bear cuts typically cost $90-$140 in Australia due to their larger size. Standard-sized Groodles cost more than medium or miniature Groodles. Coat condition significantly affects price — a matted Groodle can take 2-3 times longer to groom, with surcharges of $20-$50.

How often should a Groodle get a teddy bear cut?

Every 6-8 weeks for most Groodles. Their fleece coat is prone to matting, particularly in the armpits, behind the ears, and where the harness sits. Brush thoroughly every 2-3 days with a slicker brush and comb, line-brushing to the skin rather than just surface brushing.

My Groodle always gets matted before the next groom — what can I do?

Groodle matting is extremely common. Key prevention tips: brush every 2 days using line-brushing technique (part the coat and brush from the skin out), use a metal comb after the slicker brush to check for hidden mats, spray with a detangling mist before brushing, and keep a shorter body length (3/4 inch) if brushing consistency is difficult.

General Groodles Grooming Tips

Brush your Groodle thoroughly every 2-3 days to prevent matting in the dense coat. Pay special attention to the chest, behind ears, and leg furnishings. A steel comb after brushing catches hidden tangles.
