Little Merry Pippin is visiting this weekend! RETIRED.

Along with several of my other breeders, Pippin has been scheduled for her eye and heart exams at my vet's health clinic going on today.

Since Pippin was here, I did a groom on her because her ears were too long.  Keeping them short is not only more attractive, it is healthier by allowing more air into the ear channels and preventing ear infections.

She is a cute little thing (about 16" and 25 lbs.) but sooooo solid, like a cement block!  Her curls are very, very soft and silky and she is very well behaved. Thanks for doing a great job with her, Rosemary!

Pippin is an exquisite deep apricot color.

There is a post further down celebrating Pippin's recent birthday with her sidekick, Bosco. You can see the difference between a 'Poodle' cut and the groom I did above. The dog does not even look the same!

Many pics on this site show the way an Australian Labradoodle should look. Any groomer that cannot look at a pic and perform the right cut needs to be replaced by one that is talented enough to do it correctly.  As long as each owner does their due diligence with combing the coat completely so no mats have formed, a groomer should be able to style your doodle in less than two hours.   :+)
