Posted by Some owners of Goldendoodle may be curious about how short they have to cut their Goldendoodle hair. After I tried to find the information about it on some online sources, it seems that it depends on what hairstyle that will be applied to the Goldendoodle. According to the We Love Doodles site, here are some best types of Goldendoodle haircuts.
Goldendoodle Teddy Bear Cut
The Teddy Bear cut is also known as the Goldendoodle Puppy Cut. This cut is the most popular. To make a teddy bear cut, the Goldendoodle full-body hair is cut short between 1-2 inches in length. However, there are some groomers who cut down to ¾ inch length to give a shorter-haired look and if the owner does not want to go to groomers very often.
As explained on the We Love Doodles site, there is no standard definition of the Teddy Bear Cut because groomers will usually ask about the hair length that the owner wants. This cut usually includes a short haircut around ears, full-face cut around the eyes, clipped and non-feathered tail cut, and a round trim for the feet. Here are some features of Goldendoodle Teddy Bear cut.

The first one is a head-only mohawk. With this style, longer hair on the top of the head and around the ears must be left around 2 to 4 inches. The second one is a full-body mohawk.
