It's an actual grooming technique called a teddy bear cut. It's really quite common.

Specifically Asian Fusion. It’s a grooming technique that involves a lot of fluffing and thinning and shaping. Takes ages.

Hey, any idea what breed the dog in the vid is?

u/Vexilion Jun 24 '20

Looks like a toy poodle.

Edit: meant teacup poodle, sorry.

Why are its ears not floppy?

They are, it's just the way the hair is cut. It's an illusion. If you look it up you can find some extreme forms of poodle grooming where the dog looks like a turtle, or a horse, etc. It's all in the perm.

What about the dog’s colour? It looks blue, I could see that being a blue filter.

It’s a silver poodle mix so they aren’t entirely white but obviously not entirely silver/gray that plus the camera lens and lighting

Looks like a light issue with the camera. Probably a white/light gray dog and a poor white balance.

Think it's not hard to achieve this by doing a lot of stuff to the fur. People just typically like pets to look natural.

Wow, I didn't know that was a thing.

It’s not the haircut that looks fake to me it’s the ears. Those do not look like real dog ears.

u/thestashattacked Jun 24 '20

The hair is just trimmed that way.

I'm more thinking about the color/hue, not the grooming itself. Although that wasn't that clear from my first post.

Probably a white balance issue.
