Who decided that a "Poodle cut" is normal anyway? I've yet to see a poodle request that hair style. I've always wondered if they may be a bit embarrassed by it myself. I had a poodle named Tyke. He would have ran away from home if I tried to cut his hair in a poodle cut. He was so cute the way he was, why would I want to change him? He looked a lot like Reece only gray. SOME PEOPLE!
Yeah, my dogs don't really look "normal" either. First of all, well, Reggie has gigantic ears. Schnauzers ears are supposed to fold or be cropped. I wouldn't let my parents crop them lol. And I think he has more personality when you can actually see his eyes. We groom the dogs ourselves...and I always trim the hair on Reggie's face. I make it short, and most schnauzers have huge beards. It's the way I like him, and it makes him who he is.
