Morkie With Teddy Bear Haircut

Things You Should Know

Before you get the clippers out, there are a few things you should keep in mind.

Groomer Lingo 101

If you’ve ever asked your groomer to give your pup the morkie teddy bear haircut, they might have also called this the ‘puppy cut.’ The teddy bear cut and puppy cut are essentially the same thing, and the names can be used interchangeably.

The most significant difference between these morkie dog haircuts comes down to how your pup’s face is groomed. The teddy bear haircut keeps more hair framing your pup than its body to achieve that adorable bear cub look.

Tools You Will Need

For this morkie haircut, you’ll need:

• Doggie shampoo
• Clippers
• Grooming scissors/thinning scissors
• Comb

It’s recommended that your morkie gets a haircut each month to keep its hair from matting, falling into its eyes, or causing irritation. Investing in a nice set of grooming tools can pay off if you’ve decided to forgo grooming services to give your pup a haircut yourself.

Pre-Haircut Tips

There are a few things you might want to keep in mind before starting the grooming process. First, you don’t have to go too short on your pup’s body. Unless, of course, you prefer that style – then groom away!

It’s a popular myth that a morkie teddy bear haircut requires the body and legs to be cut at a certain length. In truth, the length differs from groomer to groomer based on personal preference. Some dog owners prefer to give their morkies a short teddy bear cut to increase the amount of time between grooming sessions, especially if the dog is anxious about getting groomed.
