| Grooming Do the black whiskers get cut when they go in for grooming? It seems like they just appeared.. I did not know if I should cut them. I don't think they look good. Is this a stupid question? |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i cut them because they make Morgan's beard stick out at all funny angles. As i've been grooming more and more yorkies, i've noticed that on some dogs you don't notice them, but on the softer coats (like morgan's) they stick out and are more noticeable.

| I've noticed them on Suzi's ! And yes, they were sharp! I had them trimmed too. They look better that way.

| Don't be silly. There are no stupid questions here. I cut them on my babies because it looks neater, and they are sharp like mscat said.

| You can cut them but Uni hates it when I do because they are their "feelers", but when you cut them they will be really sharp for a few days. When you see the hair color change on the face, the black whiskers will eventually change to gold! Uni's is at that stage now, and once you cut off all the black then they will not be noticeable anymore!

| I would cut them, as everyone said, it makes it clean cut.
