Joy the Bald Poodle

A few days ago, Joy, our toy poodle, went for her first professional grooming session. I had made an appointment with Jason, a freelance dog groomer, to give Joy her hair cut.

Before shaving... Joy, the hairy poodle.



With Joy about 4.5 months old now, we got Jason to shave her bald (yes, "botak") as it is quite normal for poodle puppies to be cut bald at least once or twice. This is done to allow for easier grooming in the future.

After shaving... people often ask what a bald poodle looks like. 

Joy had a full grooming session which included ear cleaning, nail cutting, a hair cut and ended it with a bath.

Joy is more well behaved with strangers, so she didn't struggle much.

She usually wears some clothing but she has gotten better at undressing herself, so guess she's not cold from the A/C.
