Checkout Dapper Dog That Is Famous For His Impressive Floor-Length Beard (Photos)

His signature look is maintained and kept in check by his owner Nicola Wilcox, a professional dog groomer. His beard is so big it reaches down to the ground and never fails to catch people's attention.

Nicola, 50, from Hartlepool, said: “He’s very well known for it. People love him, they look at his beard and say ‘there’s the little dog with the beard’ and they will all stop.

“He’s normally the scruffiest dog, but nobody can walk past him in the street without commenting on him.”

To keep Ted, or Super Ted, looking dapper, Nicola grooms him once a month and has his beard and tail combed every day, TeamDogs reports.

With more than five years of dog grooming experience, this might just be her favourite look of all time. She says the nine-year-old dog is ‘a mucky mixture’ but is amazing and the look suits his funny, stubborn and naughty personality.

It started out by seeing how long his beard could grow. Now Nicola can’t bear to get rid of it. After Nicola trimmed it only an inch, she regretted it instantly so the famous beard is here to stay.

She said: “His beard grows really quick but it won’t get any longer than this. It’s almost rubbing on the pavement as he walks.”

Now the bearded pup has other doggy friends who visit regularly for a trim by Nicola.

She said: “I cut about 10 dogs a day and Ted has his favourites that come – a cockapoo called Beau, a poodle called Charlie and a Shih Tzu called Woody.” Nicola says if you’re thinking of giving your own dog a beard then you must keep the lips clear. Hair gets wrapped around their teeth, causing bacteria to build up, and is the perfect setup for infection.
