Morkie Poo Haircuts: Introduction
The Morkie Poo is a hybrid cross between the Maltese, Yorkshire Terrier, and Toy Poodle. Like all of its parents, the Morkie Poo is a toy-sized breed. Obviously, they also inherit their hypoallergenic, low-shedding coats.
The downside of a low-shedding coat is that Morkie Poos also need frequent grooming. They need to be regularly brushed, bathed, and trimmed to keep their coats healthy and looking gorgeous.
When you’re deciding between all the adorable Morkie Poo haircuts, you’ll also want to consider your dog’s lifestyle, climate, and how much time you can spend on grooming. For instance, longer hair tends to need more upkeep. Likewise, you want to make sure that your pup’s hairdo fits the weather.
So, if you find any of the following Morkie Poo haircuts perfect for your Dood, use them as inspiration for your next at home grooming session. Or, screenshot the Morkie haircut pictures to show to your groomer before your pup’s next hair appointment.

Morkie Poo Modern Cut
The modern cut, also known as the Scandinavian cut or European cut, is a more popular choice amongst Poodles. So, it’s no surprise that many Morkie Poo owners have taken note of their Poodle heritage.
The Morkie Poo modern cut leaves the hair long and fluffy, and the cut follows the dog’s own natural features. Although this look is slightly more advanced, it sure does look gorgeous!
Morkie Poo Lion Cut
If your Morkie Poo has a big personality, you can’t go wrong with the Morkie Poo lion cut. As you can guess, the lion cut imitates the big, fluffy mane of a true lion. To really emphasize the lion mane, the hair is clipped relatively short on the body, while keeping it long on the head, neck, chest, and paws. You can even leave cute poms on the tail and paws!
Morkie Poo Puppy Cut
The Morkie Poo puppy cut is a simple and sweet Morkie Poo haircut that even novice groomers have no problem achieving. Usually, the puppy cut is created by clipping the hair short on the body and keeping it slightly longer on the face and head, giving your Dood a true puppy-like look.
Morkie Poo Teddy Bear Cut
The Morkie Poo teddy bear cut is another popular choice amongst Doodles. The hair is typically clipped slightly shorter on the body and longer on the face and ears, just like with the puppy cut. However, the face is more rounded, which gives your pup the distinguishable teddy bear look.
Morkie Poo Practical Topknot
The Morkie Poo practical topknot is not a haircut per se. The practical topknot hairdo is the perfect option if your Dood has longer facial hair that tends to get in the way. It’s a super simple look that you can quickly pull together without sacrificing your dog’s longer hair.
To create the look, gently pull back your Morkie Poo’s hair as if you’re creating a ponytail. You can use a bow, gentle hair tie, or a clip to secure the topknot.
Morkie Poo Schnauzer Cut
The Schnauzer cut is a popular choice for Yorkie Poos. So, it only makes sense that this look has been adapted by countless Morkie Poos as well! Although it’s slightly trickier and more time-consuming to achieve, it’s such a gorgeous look that any Morkie Poo can pull off.
The Schnauzer cut is well-known for its signature “skirt”. The hair on the back is clipped quite short. Meanwhile, the face, neck, underbelly, and legs are kept longer to achieve that so-called “skirt” appearance. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper Schnauzer cut without the distinctive Schnauzer mustache!
Morkie Poo Westie Cut
The Westie cut is a nod to the Morkie Poo’s Terrier heritage. Similarly to the Schnauzer cut, the hair is clipped short on the back, while keeping it longer on the face, body, legs, and stomach. The hair on the face is usually trimmed into a more rounded shape, making this Morkie Poo haircut one of the cutest ones out there!
Morkie Poo Korean Cut
The Korean cut is a cute and trendy Morkie Poo haircut that emphasizes their cute, floppy ears, and adorable little paws. With the Korean cut, the hair is clipped short on the body, including the neck, back, and even the beard. Meanwhile, you’ll want to keep the hair longer on the face, ears, and legs.
Generally, the beard area is trimmed into a rounded shape. As the hair can get quite long on top of the head, you can utilize here the cute topknot hairstyle. In addition to that, the legs and paws should be kept longer, which gives the illusion of your pup having boots on.
Morkie Poo Summer Cut
And finally, the Morkie Poo summer cut is the ideal choice for pups during those hot summer months. Or, if you live in a warmer climate all year round. The hair is cut rather short all over the body, making it super easy to maintain. You can either opt for longer or shorter facial hair, depending on your preference.
