Doodle Hairstyles
Doodle Haircut Options
One of the fun parts of having a Haas Pawz Doodle is choosing that adorable haircut!
But we know that when you walk into the groomer, it can be a little overwhelming trying to decide exactly how you want your sweet pup to look.
Doodle coats are so special! Their soft, curly or wavy hair can be shaped into all kinds of adorable styles. From the classic fluffy teddy bear look to a shorter, easier-to-maintain trim, there are so many options—and there really is no right or wrong choice! It’s all about what you love and what works best for your pup and your family.
We’ve put together a few popular Doodle haircut ideas to help give you some inspiration before your grooming appointment. Take a look, find a style you love, and don’t be afraid to make it your own!
Our biggest tip? Bring a picture! Showing your groomer a photo of the look you have in mind is the easiest way to make sure you’re both envisioning the same adorable hairstyle. Your groomer can also help you choose a cut that works well with your Doodle’s individual coat, lifestyle, and maintenance needs.
Most importantly, have fun with it! Whether your Haas Pawz baby stays fluffy and teddy-bear cute or rocks a shorter summer trim, they’re going to be absolutely adorable—and forever loved!
The Teddy Bear Cut
The Teddy Bear or Puppy Cut is the most popular Doodle hairstyle. This style is typically the same length all around the body of the dog, has slight feathering around the face and layering around the legs and feet of the dog. This cut creates the “Teddy Bear” look in dogs with tighter curls and is usually the cut that comes to mind when one thinks of Doodles. This cut is ideal for all Doodles with wavy to curly fur, helps prevent matting or tangles and is an adorable look!
Poodle Cut for Doodles
The Poodle Cut was originally used for Poodles – hence the name! This cut is short in the face and body of the dog with accents of longer, fluffy fur on the legs and tail. This classic style takes a bit more maintenance than the Teddy Bear cut but gives your Doodle a very chic look!
Doodle Summer Cut / Kennel Cut
The Summer Cut is also known as the Kennel Cut. The Summer Cut is a very short cut around the entire dog. Some of the benefits of the Kennel Cut are that it requires very little maintenance, it’s a great way to keep your dog cool during the hot summer months and it helps your pup stay clean for longer.
Doodle Lion Cut
The Lion Cut is very fun if you have a red/golden colored Doodle pup because your Doodle really will look like a Lion! This cut is very short around the body of the dog while a full mane is left. The mane, feet and tail of the dog are left long and fluffy to give your pup an awesome “lion” look. We love this one for visiting family and friends as it is cute and can easily be reverted back to a Teddy Bear/Puppy Cut.
Doodle Mohawk Cut
The Mohawk Cut is exactly what it sounds like! It’s one of the most unique, fun cuts your Doodle can have! The Mohawk Cut is a Summer Cut around the entire dog, with a Mohawk strip left on the back of their head and neck. This cut is really fun because you can decide on both the length of the Mohawk and the color!
Doodle Lamb Cut
The Lamb Cut originated with Poodles but looks incredible on all shapes and sizes of Doodles. This stylish cut is quite easy to maintain as it is a Teddy Bear cut length around the body with about an extra inch of length on the legs. This extra length gets bouncy when your dog runs and adds a very eye-catching element to the original Teddy Bear Cut. Whereas the Doodle Lion Cut is a fan favorite for standard sized Goldendoodles and Labradoodles, the Doodle Lamb Cut looks adorable on mini Goldendoodles, mini Labradoodles, Cavapoos and Cockapoos.
Your Doodle’s Cut Is Your Choice
Ultimately, the choice is completely yours! We find that most of our Haas Pawz Forever Families choose the classic Doodle Puppy Cut (aka the Teddy Bear Cut)—and we can certainly see why! It’s adorable, fluffy, and practical, making it a favorite for everyday Doodle life.
But hey, who says you have to stick with the classics? Maybe you’re the adventurous type who wants to give your pup a Mohawk, Lion, or Lamb Cut! There’s no rule saying your Doodle’s hairstyle has to be ordinary.
We think one of the best things about having a Doodle is getting to let their personality shine—and sometimes that means giving them a haircut that’s just as fun, unique, and full of personality as they are (and maybe a little bit like you, too!)
Whatever style you choose, your Haas Pawz baby is sure to look absolutely adorable!
