My little cupcake Amelia (Lia) had her first haircut this winter as the snow, burrs, and forest debris was getting knotted in her soft puppy fluff. So prior to the 2 inch puppy cut I took some photos of my fluff ball. Some circles say you should shave a Barbet at 6 months of age for their adult hair cut to come in. We kept her hair growing until 10 months and gave her a puppy cut which is cutting the entire body to 1-2 inches of hair. Ideally you should never shave the barbet down to the skin. The Barbet standard is to keep the dog’s hair long and shaggy which for some is hard to do. By cutting their hair to 1-2 inches of hair you keep the furry, fluffy look of the Barbet.
