It's grooming time!

| Lucy got her haircut the same day |
As much as I wanted to wait for the first haircut we just couldn't stand the matted and unkempt look of poor Layla. I am not sure it's advisable to wait anyway - I don't know why the breeders suggested it since I don't believe her fur will grow back even thicker. She already has so much hair and it sheds very little. Incidentally, I got an appointment at the groomer's shop the same day my parents got theirs for Lucy in Austria. Although I was prepared to a totally different look I was still quite shocked to see Layla with such short hair. It couldn't be helped since it was too matted and it all had to come off. It's like getting back a different dog! Well, you get used to it and it is so much easier to take care of - and Layla loved it as well. Our next appointment is in two months where they'll hopefully be able to leave some length in her coat. Oh, and the groomers loved her since she was so well behaved.
Simone......I just found your blog and enjoyed reading about your puppies. We have an 18 month old goldendoodle that we adore. We live in the USA and my son recently moved to Vienna and will be there for the next few years. We have looked on the internet for doodle breeders but have not had much luck. Do you have any advice on where we might find a breeder
ReplyDeleteHi Marilyn,
DeleteUnfortunately, I don't know any breeders in Austria either. My parents neighbor got his doodle (the black one in one of my posts) from North Germany. When I tried to find a breeder I found several in Germany and the UK but none in Austria. Not many people have heard of the breed there yet but you can definitely go and get one in Germany. I could probably get you the info from the one in North Germany.
Best regards,
Simone
