Trmming Hair Around Eyes??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have a grooming question...I have had Coco who is five months groomed twice, both times they have trimmed the hairs that grows into his eyes. I want the hair on his face to grow long, should I just let him tough it out with the hair in his eyes and it will eventually grow out or should I continue to have this trimmed but leave the rest of his face to grow???

Thanks!

Duke has the hair near his eyes trimmed also, but the rest of the hair on his face is long.

I tried to let the hair near his eyes grow out, but it seemed to bother Duke because he kept rubbing his paws on eyes, so I decided to have his groomer continue to trim it.

I do both my girls - it helps them to see better and looks much neater - I tried to let it grow - but it really just got more in their eyes -

I use a little personal trimmer - I posted these pics before ...but will again so you can see different tools to use if you do it yourself...OR if you go to a groomer - just tell them whether you WANT to keep that hair or trim it - but it's always good to be specific....

the one of Chanel is just to show you where I like to trim - it doesn't mean everyone should trim like this - but it does look much neater...

Thanks! I would love it if Coco's hair would grow as long as Chanel's! She is beautiful.

I was told NOT to cut the hair by their eyes. I did once and it was worse when it grew back out. So now I use a hair sticky creme made by Plush Puppy to keep Mignons down. You can use just vaseline too.It is a pain but it WILL grow

Once it grows out, the dog is fine. We did that once and NEVER again! It took a while for it to grow out but I'm glad that we left it alone!

I leave Chloe's hair around the eyes alone, and pull it up into a ponytail on the top of her head, like Chanel. However, it is hard to keep her eyes clean (I use a little comb to clean the her eye discharge) but when she rolls around alot (especially after her bath) and then she looks like Cruella DeVille!!

I actually cut the hair right in between her eyes. I do this once a month. I tried letting it grow out and she looked too uncomfortable. I think that as long as you are willing to keep cutting it, it will be fine. Here's a few pictures. The rest of her hair is long, I just cut in between the eyes.
