  • Sully is a Goldendoodle, so may have different hair. The facial hair grows much slower than the body hair for some reason, which is why I don't cut it as short as the rest of the body. You may get a bobblehead look for a while, but it evens out quickly.

    It takes a long time to grow out!

    Congratulations on Noah!

  • Are you a dog groomer ?

    You not holding your scissor correctly. Your ring finger and your thumb do all the movement not you first finger with your thumb. Every train groomer knows this rule.

  • Nope, I'm not a groomer just a do-it-yourself-er with a dog that everybody wants to know how I groom, thus the videos. Yes I know I hold the scissors incorrectly according to groomers (and hairdressers) but after a lifetime of doing it that way, the goomer's way is difficult for me. It works for me :)

  • OK I just wanted to let you know. I do worry about your hand and carpal tunnel. I been a groomer now for 8 years and I love the new 5/8 blade it's a tad bit longer then the #3 and it works great on the doodle breeds and leave a nicer cut then the #3 blade. :) I am very proud to have see this video and how well you keep up with your doodle. Most of the ones I do are Severely matted and owners think because they don't shed (Wihnk Wink ) you don't have to brush them Very sad :(

  • Funny you should mention that, I just ordered a 5/8 blade. I'm anxious to try it! If I groomed dogs for a living like you do, I'd have to learn to scisssor correctly, I'm sure. With just my two doodles to groom, it's not a big issue for me. The brushing issue is why I started with the part on line brushing. I have other groomers that make that part REQUIRED viewing for their doodle clients :)

  • Dear AnnandSully, Your grooming videos of Sully led me to getting a Labradoodle. I adopted him about a year ago, his name is Noah. I have been letting his face hair grow much like Sully's. Can you remember how long it took for Sully to grow that nice long beard? He is such a sweetheart to groom though... like Sully. Wag wag wag. :) Great breed!

  • Your dog is adorable and so GOOD and patient!

  • Now I have to go buy thinning shears! Makes sense - I've been cutting with the scissors and the thinning shears will make it lay better I think.
