Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Question for members that own female yorkies.... Ok here goes..... When Lulu goes to poo she sits so low down (like when she is going to pee) that it gets stuck to her hair. I find myself constantly having to take a baby wipe to clean her behind or wash it. Does anyone elses female do this? Is there anything other than shaving her behind down that can be done? I have no idea why she has to squat so dang low. Suggestions? I am curious to see if anyone else has this problem or if Lulu is a unique chick here.

I would think the kids that sports the shorter hair-do doesn't have this problem but my gals have longer hair and it's dingle-berry city around here! I do use the clippers and they all have very neat private areas but the hair on the legs do get in the way even when I keep that shorter by giving them layers or fringed style just on the back of the legs and the inner thighs.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | wow this just makes me so happy that morgan's hair is kept at 2 inches and shorter. LOL we've never had this problem. She poops and it comes straight out and hits the ground then she usually runs away to her next conquest. I keep the hair right around her anus really really short. funny thing, when morgan poops she does it on three legs. one of the back legs usually lifts in the process of pooping. its so funny

| Works for us I've found that by feeding a high quality dry food, poop is hard & doesn't stick to her |

| My girls usually has good firm stool too but sometimes, and I don't know if they loose their balance and plop down on their butts, but I do get clingers from time to time.

| Same with us here, both of my little ones have very firm poops, they couldn't stick to their fur if they wanted too LOL but I have noticed a difference in the way they go to the bathroom. Jewelina kind of does a circle dance while going number 2 and leaves droppings all over her litter box but Jaden just sits and goes and leaves his droppings all in one place...not sure if there's a difference because they are male or female or if it's just every dog is different regardless of sex... |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | No problems with Lex. I keep his hair fairly short but even when he squats he is high off the ground. Miss thing here is still in her baby length because she is only just turning four months. I think I will be taking her to the groomer very soon so they can cut her hair down. I have clippers and clip her myself. The poo doesn't get stuck to her legs it's her dang tail and bum. I do feed a high quality dry food. My dogs eat Merricks dry. I know right now she has a bit of a tummy upset after her shots on Saturday but some how even when she pooed regular she got stuff constantly stuck to her. She does squat so dang low...just like when she pees. Guess I will have to keep wipes stocked for her little behind.

| Zoe is so tiny 3.1 pounds fully grown that her bum is low anyway! Their BM is firm and non-sticky so we have not had issues here. Doggy farts, now that is my only issue with this dogfood! Zorak has these silent but DEADLY farts!

| No problems here! Mia has never had a problem with poop sticking to her tush. But, I feed her high quality dry dog food.
