A lot of dogs do not enjoy brushing. At Waggy Tails we like shorter styles that are comfortable and easy to manage and maintain.
If a coat has tangles we will always cut to a length that snips the hair underneath the tangles.
Tangles tend to tighten and move closer to the skin over the time between grooms. This means that the maximum possible hair length will usually depend on the number of weeks since the last groom. Every coat is different, however as a general indication of the coat length you might expect for a poodle mix :
| Weeks Since Last Groom | Maximum Coat Length After Groom |
| Less than 4 weeks | 25mm |
| Less than 6 weeks | 19mm |
| Less than 8 weeks | 16mm |
| Less than 12 weeks | 12mm |
| Less than 6 months | 3mm |
| Less than 1 year | 1mm |
