List of Most Common Goldendoodle Haircuts

There are endless Goldendoodle haircut styles to choose from.

The ones highlighted in the rest of the article are best for my dog, but you may want to try one of these dpending on whether your goldendoodle coat is more like a golden retriever or poodle.

• Kennel Cut: This is a practical, low-maintenance cut that is suitable for active Goldendoodles. The hair is clipped close to the body and face, leaving a uniform length all over the dog’s body.
• Teddy Bear Cut: This style is named for its resemblance to a stuffed animal. The face is trimmed to a round shape, while the body is kept longer and fluffier. This cut is popular because it enhances the Goldendoodle’s natural cuteness.
• Puppy Cut: This cut is often used for younger Goldendoodles who have not yet developed their full coat. It’s a low-maintenance style where the hair is cut short all over the body. This style is also popular for owners who want a low-shedding coat.
• Poodle Cut: The Poodle cut is a classic style that is often used for Goldendoodles. The hair is trimmed short on the body and legs, while the hair on the head, ears, and tail is left longer. This cut is a good choice for Goldendoodles with curly or wavy hair, as it can help to prevent matting and tangles.
• Summer cut: A shorter cut that helps keep goldendoodles cool during hot summer months. The hair is trimmed all over the body, leaving the coat about an inch long.
• Pom pom: A playful and stylish cut where the fur around the face and tail is left long, while the rest of the body is trimmed short.
• Dino cut: A creative and fun cut where the fur is trimmed short all over the body, except for a small section on the back that is left long to resemble a dinosaur’s spine.

• Teddy Bear Cut: This is a popular Goldendoodle hairstyle that leaves the fur longer on the dog’s face and body, creating a fluffy and cuddly look similar to a teddy bear.
• Full Shave: Some Goldendoodle owners opt for a full shave, which removes all of the dog’s fur except for a small tuft at the tail and a bit on the head. This can be a practical option for hot climates or for dogs that have trouble with matting.
• Bell Bottoms: This hairstyle involves trimming the fur on the legs so that it is shorter at the top and longer at the bottom, creating a flared effect that resembles bell bottoms.
• Pom Poms: This is a fun and playful Goldendoodle hairstyle that involves trimming the fur on the dog’s legs and tail into rounded pom poms. This can be a great option for owners who want to show off their dog’s fun-loving personality.
• Top Knot: This hairstyle involves gathering the fur on the top of the dog’s head into a small ponytail or bun, secured with a band or clip. This can be a cute and practical option for dogs with longer hair that can get in their eyes.

Will the Most Popular Goldendoodle Haircuts Work for Puppies?

Also, a puppy Goldendoodle will likely look better in a Goldendoodle puppy cut, which you can change to whatever you want once they develop a thick coat. As a pup, something like a lion’s mane or round face cuts just take to much effort. Just make sure your goldendoodle puppy has clean feet, muzzle, and sanitary.

The Goldendoodle lamb cut is a great option for a puppy cut because the rounded shpae is cute but doesn’t require as frequent grooming as some other options.

Between you and me, I don’t know what to make of this photo!

Goldendoodle Mohawk Haircut

Goldendoodle Lion Haircut

Okay, I have to admit, with my personality I would consider this one year for Halloween.

I don’t like the idea of shaving Lexie so short after Halloween so I have never done it, but I have at least thought about doing this funny Goldendoodle Lion cut. I know my daughters would think it was cool for her to be a Lion for Halloween.

Plus, it would be on a 25 pound Mini Goldendoodle so it might look rediculous… but it is only for a day or two, right?

Beanie Boo Plus Toy Mini Goldendoodle

While we have never done the Doodle Lion Cut for Halloween, we did dress Lexie up as a Beanie Boo one Halloween.

The kids both dressed up as crayons and they walked Lexie around the neighborhood.

Here’s a photo of Lexie dressed up like a Beanie Boo for Halloween.

Feel free to use the idea if you like.

Some Things to Keep in Mind When Choosing a Hairstyle

Goldendoodles are known for their beautiful, wavy hair that requires frequent grooming. Naturally, we’re always looking for new goldendoodle haircut ideas to maintain our pup’s cuteness. Some owners even use non-toxic kool-aid to add color to their pup’s hair!

Want to try a crazy new hairstyle that has become popular among goldendoodle owners like the goldendoodle’s mohawk, which combines wavy facial hair with a shaved center section on the top of the head? This style actually exposes the pup’s forehead and emphasizes their intelligent expression, as well as looking cool.

One of the most popular cuts for goldendoodles is the teddy bear cut, which gives your dog a fluffy appearance and a uniform length all over the body. This cut is super easy to maintain and is great for hot and humid weather.

If you are looking for a more adventurous cut for your goldendoodle, the lion cut is a great idea. This cut is perfect for special occasions and gives your pup’s coat a trimmed round shape around the chest and belly, with a bit longer hair on the legs and head. Another popular cut is the lamb cut, which is similar to the lion cut but with shorter hair on the legs and a longer topknot on the head.

Keep in mind that Goldendoodles come in many coat types. Their varying curly coats are prone to bad tangles, especially around the legs, and require frequent grooming to prevent discomfort and skin problems.

You may end up preffering a shaved kennel cut to a lion’s mane, for easier upkeep. No matter what your preference is, it’s important to find the right goldendoodle haircut that matches your pup’s personality and style.

Whether you take your pup to a professional groomer or decide to do it yourself, frequent grooming is essential for good health and a great appearance. Goldendoodles are a mix of poodles and other dog breeds, so their hair can vary in texture, thickness, and color. To prevent tangles and mats, it’s important to brush your pup’s coat regularly and bathe them every few weeks.
