    I like the square look. The shaved look is good for shows, but, I like to see the square look for home.

    I personally prefer the square look most of the time (only maybe with a little less hair on the top of the head), it's so cute & kind of puppy like. BUT I also love change so I'd have to do a shave every once in a while. lol
    I think now that it is summer time it would be a great time to try the shaved look. At least you tried it on her & can see for yourself which way you prefer. If you don't like it it will grow back. If you want it to grow back into a square cut it will save ya money too as it will take a little longer to grow out before she will be due to have another cut.
    Either way she will look cute, she always does!

    Square. No offence, but I don't like it when people do odd things to their dogs fur. That's why I don't watch dog shows often. I especially dislike poodles and chinese crested with no fur in some places, but fur in other places. I just think about the dog and wonder how stupid they feel. I find it looks much nicer with fur everywhere. No offence, this is just my personal opinion !

    I saw a poodle on the street the other day and it didn't have the cut and it was unbelivebly cute ! At first I didn't even belive it was a poodle.

    We had a poodle at work that was cut to look like a schnauzer with thw bottom half long and the face long, but the rest shaved. Possibilities are endless with that hair.

    Ooh, I like that cut! I'm coming to gripps with the hair and I can actually see myself getting a standard poodle some time in the far future.
    And yes, Long haired dogs are more easily able to regulate their body temperatures in the summer WITH their hair!

    I've owned two poodles and have always favored the puppy clip for them.

    Most dogs cut for the show ring are cut for the work they do.Like the poodle, that cut is to protect their organs because they are hunting dogs.And Chinese cresteds can come in powder puff wich means they are all hair.I dont think the dog acres how they look when they are bron that way.Chinese cresteds are my second favorite dog..and they dont shave them to be bald.

    And Lori shaving a dog with long fur in the summer isnt a good thing. Just because they have less hair dosent mean they are cooler.Long haired dogs have a special coat that keeps them cool in the summer warm in winter.

    I like the shaved look.

    they're born like that? ! ?! I was looking at getting a power Puff at one point and I read in a book that "You don't have to shave them, there are varieties that aren't ment to be shaved, like the power Puff" Stupid book....
