I have been thinking about getting Austin groomed because he gets hot so easy. But after camping and trying to pull burrs out of his fur it had to happen sooner than later. So we decided for just once to just go all out and get a short shave. I also wanted to at least once see what his little face looked like. I know now that next summer I don't want his face done again. I can't believe how he really looks like a poodle.....So enjoy the pictures.... I do like that his fur feels like velvet

Austin is stunning! I love his color and now you can see his eyes! I am sure he will be very comfortable in his summer cut. Bella goes next week.

He looks so shocked! Such beautiful eyes!

He is a darling anyway!
Still, I'd let the groomer know that he is NOT a Poodle and that you are not happy with his cut...I think I"d ask to take the pom-pom off he top of his head and match the clip to the puppy cut all over his body...that would look just great.
He is a beautiful dog and sometimes they do get into burrs (mine do too) and a summer cut is great...this one might just grow on you!

So adorable!
Christina, maybe trim UNDER his ears so the poufiness is not so wide.
Look at Jac's guide dog and you will see what I mean:

I think AUSTIN looks adorable still...the shaved face is nice but maybe you can trim the top of his hair back a tad to make an overall even look?
His coat is still gorgeous...wow!! just take bit of the poodle poofiness off the top with haircutting scissors? eitehr way i still love Austin just the way he is!
