What length is a puppy cut?
Essentially, the puppy cut is one length all over. The most common length is between 1-2 inches over the body, legs, tail, head, and ears. Typically, it's done with a clipper fitted with a long guard comb over the blade. There should not be any clipper marks, uneven coat, or sharp edges left in the fur.

The fur is clipped as short as half to one-quarter inch, sometimes leaving the ears or tail long. Whether to leave some hair long is a matter of personal preference.
