Donating YT 500 Club Member | Can you help me with hairstyle pic? So Alfie is finally booked in for his allergy testing and needs to get shaved up one side. Many of you will know that he had lost almost all of his hair on his back end with allergies and so we have been trying and trying to grow him out and he has never been cut at all. He does not have good quality coat on his body but his head and face are fine. There is a groomer right next door to our vet and we thought it might be an idea to get him groomed after his testing as he will still be a little groggy from the anaesthetic, just a cut not a bath and all the trimmings. So firstly would that be a good idea or not? Secondly, I want to get his body shaved to match where his testing will be but absolutely keep his face long and probably the hair on his lower legs. This is the sort of cut I want but with longer face, does anybody have any other pics of this type of cut for me to bring to the groomers?

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Thanks Sally, I think he is the cutest even if he doesn't have a thick coat, hoping there are some things the testing will help us to eliminate, or if it is dust mites that I can start letting him have food treats as all he gets now is his prescription food and a few green beans. He has a hot spot under his neck right now and we don't know what caused it. Testing is on 2nd October so will update on how it goes.

| I love that haircut, some call it the modified Schnauzer, but many YT members nicknamed it "The Joey" after Nancy1999's Joey. I have all 4 of my pups (Yorkie & Morkies) in this cut and think it looks great and is so easy to maintain. Here is a thread with more photos http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/my-...ut-shaved.html Alfie is adorable and will look even better with this cut. Good luck.

| I would get him groomed a few days before the allergy test. I assume dog allergy testing is the same as people allergy testing. If so he's going to have at least 1 hive. It's too much for one day and I wouldn't want to risk his skin getting more irritated. |

Here's a picture of Ralphie who has a cotton coat. We leave the chest hair long on Ralphie and short on Joey.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Thanks Nancy and Sandy for the pics, didn't think of leaving his chest hair but I like that look too. I will print these off for the groomer. I will cal the vet derm tomorrow to ask if it would be ok to get him groomed right after testing. Thanks again, I just love this cut.

| Here is a link with some pictures of different styles. Yorkshire Terrier Grooming at Roxie Delux in Birmingham My Maddie has the cotton coat and I keep her very short on her body, but leave the legs, tail and face long. It's really easy to care for. Good luck with the allergy testing!

| Alfie is such a sweetheart! If you trim around his paws & tip his ears, he'll look tidy & spiffy. Just doing that will make a big difference. IDK how the weather is over there, but I reckon it gets very cold? He'll probably wear clothing, but I'd leave his body hair alone. You can just have them scissor it along w/his legs to even it out. Putting a clipper over his very thin hair might make him look shaved. So you'll want to ask for a #4 blade cut or even longer. Also bc his leg hairs are so sparse right now, it won't look like the Joey cut. I'm just being honest & want you to 'see' the outcome of the cut you are envisioning for him. I'm sure he will grow a fuller coat since you've got his allergies in check & he will have lovely full hair on him soon.
