Thanks everyone for their replies. I'm still not sure what I like, but I will go with shaved because we've never done that before with Molli. Hair always grows back, so if I find a prefer the square look, I'll do that next time. I won't leave any poofballs at the ankles or anything. She isn't purebred poodle so it would look very weird. Her hair is very curly by her shoulders and upper back... but in the rest of the places it's just crimped looking. And she doesn't get her hair cut until August 2nd... the day before we move. So sadly, you probably won't be able to see it because the computer will be packed away by then. Maybe I'll ask my uncle to use his for a sec to post a couple pictures.

Greyhoundgirl, like buttercup said, poodles get their hair cut like that because that's what working poodles hair is like. It's to protect their organs from the cold when they swim.
