A Doodle Dog is any breed of dog that is mixed with a poodle. The attraction to these mixes is the lack of dander and loose dog hair flying around the house and the ownership of a dog that is not quite a poodle.
Breeders and groomers do not tell owners how to properly care for their Poodlie Doodle Dog. The Poodlie Doodle Dog has hair that is three times thicker than a poodle's hair. Often times the hair will be tightly curled on most of the body with straight as string hair on the face and tail. As the dog goes from puppy to adult, the hair continues to get thicker.
A lot of doodle dogs come into our salon with long locks the owners proclaim they lovingly brush on a daily basis. From a distance, the dog looks pretty good. When we lift up the hair, underneath we find tangles that are so tight and clumped together, they have to be shaved off in one sheet like a bear skin rug.
We save samples of matted hair to show the owner before we get started so that they know what condition their dog is in. We educate owners on how to properly take care of their dog's poodlie coat. If they have questions or concerns, we ask them to call us or come in.
We want our customers to be happy.
