Yorkie Yakker | Puppy cut went wrong I just took my Charlie to get his first haircut and it went ALL wrong. He came back practically shaved with just his head having more hair. I asked for a puppy cut but OBVIOUSLY they didn't understand me. I plan on taking him to another groomer next time (I went to Petsmart this time) but I wanted to bring a picture or two with me of how I want him to look. Does anybody have nice pictures of puppy cuts? |

| Oops, sorry this wasn't what you wanted. Your little charlie is so cute, I'm sure he is still just as adorable, but now he is ready for a hot summer. Sorry I don't have any puppy cut pictures, but I might suggest that you try a mobile groomer, that way you can be there to talk to the groomer as she works, so both of you are on the same page. Thats what I did with Sofia the first time and now the groomer just knows what to do. |

sorry he came out different then what you expected. Did you specify to the groomer how much hair you wanted cut off or left on? simply saying a puppy cut means different things to different people and groomers. to me as a groomer, puppy cuts mean same length all over the body including the legs. I ask the owner how much hair they want taken off or left on the body. Some want a very short puppy cut, which is also like a shave down using blades, and others want a little longer hair left on so a comb is used over the blade to leave length on. The head is typically always left longer then the body unless the owner asks for it to be really short (most people don't want that tho). do you have pictures of your baby's new do? I'm sure he still looks adorable.

| Thank goodness it grows back fast!! Thank goodness it grows back fast!! I thought I could do it myself, and the first time I gave my little boy a cut it didn't go so well, it was uneven so I cut a little more to fix it, and a little more, and a little more......you get the picture. Lol. Well needless to say that by the time I was finished he was naked...lol...My husband came in and he couldn't stop laughing, I was so mad!! I messed up trim job on his head too, he ran around the yard that summer looking like a surfer dude!! I was so embarrassed. But Hey - it grew back....Thank goodness! I bet your little one still looks cute as a button.

| Oh no, I'm so sorry. That's almost as bad as if we get a shorter haircut than expected. I worry about that too... I want to get a puppy cut for Boomer, but I'm worried it'll be too short. At least it'll grow and you can try again...bring a pic next time.

Thor's Human Donating Member | I would just bring in the picture you have in your avatar. You can't get much cuter than that.

| I agree with QuickSilver. Your avatar is very cute. Just bring that picture with you. I always bring pics to the groomer and even physically show how long I want it to be. I may seem bossy to them, but I get what I want and they are happy to know they did a great job at the end. I did find a groomer that is very understanding, drop coats are her favorite type to work with.

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | Does anyone know where I can find good pictures of the different cut styles? I think taking one in is a great tip. I made an appointment next week for Rhett's first groomer visit. His hair isn't very long, so this is a "getting to know you" type appointment. But I'd like to have pictures for future reference.

| I really like that cut and I think I may try it on my babies. They are just so difficult to keep up with being in a full coat.

| Sorry that happened to you. Here's a photo of one of Cooper's puppy cuts. His first haircut turned out to be awful! I picked him up and he looked like a homeless schnauzer. His "puppy cut" was a buzz cute with a long mustache and beard. I switched groomers and his haircuts have been wonderful since. Don't worry. It grows back fast. Sometimes too fast.

| I went to Petco for our first "puppy' cut. We gave her the length that we wanted and he turned out great. Just way to pricey Just remember it will grow back! |
