| Finding a good groomer. .. I have yet to find a groomer that knows how to cut my Yorkie's hair right. I've tried every type of place, and my poor babies have had plenty of bad cuts. In the end I take them back to the place where I felt they were treated the best . How do you all get your Yorkie's groomed so well? Also, I'm a hairstylist but don't want to cut their hair but that might be why I'm so picky. My Yorkie with silver hair as such fine hair that it mats so easily!! & last, any idea what it takes the groomer 5 hours? I've heard they are just playing with them? Thanks! |

| It takes a long time to find a good groomer. You can call all the places in the phone book near you and ask them what they know about Yorkies. I got very lucky in San Diego, I had a wonderful groomer, she's worked with Yorkies for 24 years. I'm now looking for a new groomer in NC, it's not easy! I'm not sure why it takes so long. Princess won't go in a crate, so in SD they got her done right away. She was only there for an hour or so, but never 5 hours, that's way too long. I don't think they are playing with them. I think they crate them and work on other furbabies. At least that's what I was told in SD I hope you find a good one soon

| There was a 6 month waiting list at a very reputable place nearby. I couldn't wait that long so I bought some clippers and taught myself. I should clarify I started with thinning shears so I couldn't do that much damage. I worked my way into real scissors then clippers. The hardest thing to get right is the face. That can make or break the look you are going for. Just make sure your pup isn't stressed to the max. |
