6 Poodle Haircuts for the Gold Coast That’ll Have Your Dog Strutting Like a Supermodel

 

Let’s just get this out of the way: Poodles are born to turn heads.
With those gorgeous curls, intelligent eyes, and a walk that says, “I’m fabulous and I know it,” your Poodle is basically a four-legged fashion icon. But even icons need a little help looking their best—and that’s where the right haircut steps in.

At Pets Juicy, we believe grooming isn’t just about hygiene—it’s about confidence. The kind that says, “Yes, I chase tennis balls, but I do it with flair.”

So whether your Poodle is more of a laidback lounge lizard or a full-blown diva, we’ve got the perfect style to match their vibe in our Miami, Gold Coast Dog Grooming Studio. Below are six of the most popular (and fab) Poodle haircuts to consider for your floof, each with its own mix of sass, practicality, and cuteness overload.

Let the Pets Juicy doggy fashion parade begin.

1. The Teddy Bear Cut: Snuggly, Sweet, and Totally Swoon-Worthy

If your Poodle's main job in life is to look huggable (and let’s face it, they’re nailing it), the Teddy Bear cut is a total winner. This style keeps the fur medium-length and ultra-fluffy, especially around the face where it's shaped into that rounded, plush look that makes everyone say “awww” in unison.

Best for: Toy and Miniature Poodles who love cuddles, selfies, and being mistaken for actual stuffed animals.
Maintenance level: Moderate. A regular brush to keep those curls in line, plus a trip to the groomer every 4–6 weeks to maintain the puff.

Juicy tip: This cut is super photogenic. Perfect for Instagram dogs and owners who love a daily dose of “look how cute my dog is.”

2. The Lamb Cut: All Legs, All Love

Now here’s a style that’s equal parts elegant and playful. The Lamb Cut features a short, neat body with longer, rounded fur on the legs that gives your Poodle a graceful, statuesque look. The face and tail are trimmed neatly but not shaved, giving a soft, approachable finish that says, “I’m gorgeous, but I also dig in the backyard.”

Best for: Active dogs who love the outdoors but still want to look fabulous doing it.
Maintenance level: Medium to high. Those longer legs need brushing, but it’s worth it for that regal silhouette.

Juicy note: This is a fave for clients who want chic but not show-ring formal. Think of it as the little black dress of Poodle grooming.

3. The Miami Cut: Beach Vibes and Bounce

Also affectionately known as the Bikini Cut (how Gold Coast!), this playful look keeps the body short and tidy while leaving poms of fluff on the ankles and tail. It’s a practical option for hot weather but still brings a healthy dose of pizzazz. Your pup basically looks like they’re always ready for a poolside pawty.

Best for: Summer-loving Poodles who want to keep cool but still serve a little drama.
Maintenance level: Low. With less fur to manage, this is great for pups who splash around or live in warm climates.

Juicy bonus: It’s called the Bikini Cut for a reason. Prepare to get stopped in the street with compliments like, “Oh my god, they're wearing leg warmers!”

4. The Continental Cut: For the Poodle Who Lives to Slay

This is the cut. The one you’ve seen at dog shows and in fancy grooming magazines. The Continental Cut is iconic—and unapologetically high maintenance. It features shaved sections along the body, sculpted puffs on the legs, tail, and chest, and that unmistakable air of “Don’t hate me ‘cause I’m beautiful.”

Best for: Show Poodles, drama queens, and humans who don’t mind the upkeep.
Maintenance level: High. This cut requires frequent visits and daily brushing to stay sharp.

Juicy truth bomb: Not everyone can pull this off—but if your Poodle’s personality is big, bold, and a little bit extra… this might be the one.

5. The Kennel Cut: Chill, Clean, and Ready to Roll

On the opposite end of the drama spectrum, we’ve got the Kennel Cut—a short, even trim across the body and legs that prioritises practicality over puff. This is perfect for pups who are too busy exploring life to worry about tangles or high-maintenance curls.

Best for: Senior dogs, busy families, and anyone who just wants a tidy, no-fuss floof.
Maintenance level: Low. Less hair = fewer problems. Just add belly rubs.

Juicy tip: Don’t be fooled by the simplicity—it’s still a style. We give it that extra polish so your pup still looks sharp while staying comfy.

6. The Puppy Cut: Forever Young (and Fluffy)

Don’t let the name fool you—this cut isn’t just for young’uns. The Puppy Cut gives your dog an all-over, even-length trim that’s soft, playful, and easy to manage. It’s kind of like giving your dog a gentle rewind button that says, “I may be five, but I still look fresh out the whelping box.”

Best for: Dogs of all ages who like things simple but still adorable.
Maintenance level: Low to moderate. Brush here and there, but you won’t be fighting matts daily.

Juicy love note: We use this one a lot for dogs recovering from skin irritations or who are new to grooming—it’s like a soft reset.

Tailoring Haircuts for Different Poodle Breeds (and Their Doodle Cousins)

Poodles aren’t the only ones who get to enjoy all this grooming glory. Their popular crossbreed cousins—Cavoodles, Labradoodles, and Spoodles—have also strutted into the spotlight. And yes, they deserve haircuts that suit their unique coats and vibes too.

Cavoodles: The Cavoodle Comb Cut

How gorgeous is a freshly groomed Cavoodle? That big-eyed teddy bear look with the soft, velvety coat—it’s everything.

For something balanced and easy to maintain, we recommend the Cavoodle Comb Cut. It keeps the coat longer than a Puppy or Summer Cut, allowing that iconic fluff to shine through. It’s natural, flowy, and easy to manage with regular brushing.

Why it works:

• Keeps them cool without going too short
• Still has that swoon-worthy Cavoodle roundness
• Low-maintenance with a bit of zhuzh

Labradoodles: The Lamb Cut or Kennel Cut

Since Labradoodles can have anything from tight curls to wavy coats, the haircut has to match their coat type and lifestyle.

The Lamb Cut works wonders on curly or wavy fur—it keeps the body coat around 1–2 inches with slightly longer legs for a fuller, fluffier look. It helps show off those curls while making brushing easier.

For water-lovers or dogs who love a good bush bash, the Kennel Cut is ideal. It’s a short, all-over trim (around ¼ inch) that reduces matting, dirt, and tangles. Plus, it dries quickly after a swim and stays cleaner longer.

Juicy reality check:

• Lamb Cut = Cute and curly
• Kennel Cut = Fast, fuss-free, and beach-ready

Spoodles: The Cocker Cut, Lamb Cut, or Summer Cut

Spoodles (that’s a Cocker Spaniel + Poodle) tend to have rich, thick coats with a mix of waves or curls.

The Cocker Cut is a fan favourite—it leaves the body coat shorter, while keeping those long, feathery ears and legs intact. You’ll get that classic Cocker look without the upkeep.

Prefer a more uniform look? The Lamb Cut works beautifully on Spoodles too, showing off their curls without letting things get out of hand.

And when it’s heating up outside, a simple Summer Cut or Kennel Cut can be a lifesaver—short, breezy, and perfect for warmer climates.

Our picks by vibe:

• Cocker Cut = Regal and traditional
• Lamb Cut = Balanced and curly
• Summer/Kennel = Practical and cool
