What does a teddy bear cut look like on a Poodle?
The Poodle teddy bear cut features a round, fluffy face instead of the traditional clean-shaved muzzle. The body is clipped to an even length (usually 1-2 inches), with rounded legs and a fluffy topknot that blends into the face. The tail is left as a plume or pompom. The result is a soft, puppy-like look that many Poodle owners prefer over the traditional continental clip.
How often does a Poodle need a teddy bear cut maintained?
Every 4-6 weeks. Poodle coats are among the fastest-growing and most mat-prone of any breed. The dense, curly texture holds the teddy bear shape well but mats quickly without regular brushing. Line-brush every 2-3 days between grooms, paying close attention to the legs and behind the ears.
How much does a Poodle teddy bear cut cost?
Standard Poodles: $90-$130. Miniature Poodles: $70-$100. Toy Poodles: $60-$85. Prices vary by salon, location, and coat condition. The teddy bear cut requires significant scissor work, so it may cost slightly more than a simple all-over clip.
Is a teddy bear cut good for Poodles?
Absolutely. The teddy bear cut is one of the best pet styles for Poodles. It's easier to maintain than traditional show clips, keeps the coat at a manageable length, and showcases the Poodle's friendly personality. The only consideration is that the longer face hair may need wiping after meals and drinks.
What's the difference between a teddy bear cut and a lamb cut on a Poodle?
A lamb cut has a clean-shaved face and feet (like a traditional Poodle clip) but an even body length. A teddy bear cut leaves the face fluffy and rounded, with no shaving. The teddy bear cut gives a softer, more "doodle-like" appearance, while the lamb cut maintains the classic Poodle look on the face.
