In a Poodle Lamb Cut, how are the face and feet treated?

• A. Clean face and feet (#10 blade)
• B. Face and feet shaved to skin
• C. No grooming of face and feet
• D. Face trimmed with a large guard

Answer: (A)

In a Poodle Lamb Cut, the aim is to create a neat, balanced look with a clean frame around the head and paws. Keeping the face and feet clean by trimming with a fine blade gives a crisp edge that highlights the eyes and keeps the paws looking tidy. Using a #10 blade provides a close, smooth finish without going to skin, which preserves a softer, classic lamb appearance. If the face and feet were shaved to skin, the look would be too stark; if nothing were done to those areas, the cut wouldn’t have a polished, cohesive silhouette; and if the face were trimmed with a large guard, the hair would remain too long and blur the intended neat framing. The clean face and feet with a short blade best achieves the desired lamb style.
