How to Do 3 Cockapoo Hair Cuts & Hairstyles at Home

Because the Cockapoo breed is a mix, the size of a given Cockapoo can vary considerably. You might find that yours weighs as little as approximately 12 lbs (5.5 Kg). However, he could also weigh as much as double that. For this reason, it is advisable to choose an appropriate table that allows you to manage clipping different Cockapoo haircut styles.

Styling the Cockapoo Coat

Cockapoos are adorable dogs with beautiful coats. This provides groomers with great styling opportunities. They can pick and choose the best haircut style for their doggy client.

Perhaps you have a favorite cut, but if not, check out the Cockapoo haircut styles listed below. I particularly like the Teddy Bear Trim. I think it looks especially cute. However, your choice of cut will depend on your own personal preference as well as the time of year. Seasonal temperature variations will need to be considered.

Preferred Cockapoo Cuts

Many owners enjoy exploring more sophisticated and unique Cockapoo hair cuts with their groomer. The haircut style you select for your pet will of course depend on your own preferences but it should also take into account your particular dog’s hair type.

There is no standard haircut style that suits all of these dogs. So owners often choose Cockapoo cuts that suit their own sense of style; a cut that they believe will enhance their own pet’s appearance.

Achieving that perfect look for your Cockapoo might involve some research at first. You can browse a collection of photos and/or seek the services of a professional groomer.

If you feel brave enough, you might decide to groom your own pet at home. But, then you will require some special equipment, particularly the right dog clippers for Cockapoo not clippers used for humans.

Plus you will need practice to master your preferred style. The task is quite manageable once you have a pattern to follow. And of course, if you are doing your own Cockapoo grooming then you will save considerable expense over time.

3 Cockapoo Grooming Styles to Choose

Here are some of the more popular Cockapoo haricuts that you can try:

1. The Puppy Cut – A Popular Cockapoo Haircuts Style

Also known as the Cockapoo summer cut, this is a simple and low-maintenance style that entails trimming the fur to a short constant length. This cut is ideal for enabling your pet to remain cool during those hot seasons.

However, note that this is not a classic cut. If you want your pet to have an official cut, then it is advisable to try one of the following two recommendations. The summer cut, also popular for the Shih Tzu breed, will last for at least three months before requiring another haircut.

2. The Cockapoo Cocker Cut

You may also want to consider the Classic Cocker cut. Here, the fur on the bottom and head regions of the pet’s body is kept long. The professional groomer will cut the hair near the eyes and trim the hair around the pet’s body, but he or she will generally leave the hair longer than a summer cut.

However, this haircut will have to be maintained on a more regular basis, probably every 6-8 weeks. It is also important to keep the hair clean in between.

3. A Teddy Bear Cut Cockapoo Style

The Cockapoo Teddy Bear cut leaves more hair on your canine friend and is probably suitable for the cold seasons. The hair is cut to roughly 2 to 3 inches long. Just like the cocker cut, the hair near the eyes and the bottom is kept longer.

This haircut also requires frequent maintenance to ensure it is always clean and nice looking. You may want to organise subsequent cuts every 8 weeks. You should brush the pet’s hair to keep it clear and fresh from knots and dirt.

Which is Your Preferred Cockapoo Haircut?

One endearing feature about this dog breed is the fact that no matter the preferred haircut style, a Cockapoo always looks cute. Deciding which of the many Cockapoo haircuts suits your pooch best will really boil down to your own personal needs and preferences.  And in some cases, this may involve some trial and error until you find your preferred option. But if you are still wondering which best suits your pooch, you might like to look at some other haircut styles, courtesy of the British Cockapoo Society.
