Shaved Yorkie - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Someone was in the Yorkie Chat last night and said that they shaved their Yorkie. I was really interested to see pictures and he said he would post some in the gallery. I explained to him how to, but when i went to see the pictures today, I couldn't find them cause I forgot his name. Does anyone know who it is? I want to see his cute little shaved Yorkie.

I just gave Syd her summer haircut...I guess you could call her body "shaved". I used the 1/2 inch attachment for the clippers...so it's pretty short. I don't have the picturs back yet. But next week I'll post one for you. It's cute, but she doesn't look like a yorkie.

We shave both of our girls...it is too hot in the Texas heat for their long coats....I'll post a picture so you can see what they look like!!

Duke gets the same haircut, and he looks like a teddy bear when it starts to grow out.

I will look for some photos and post them for you.

those pictures are darling. That's what Coco looks like too. I like it shaved, because it's just easier to maintain and she likes it better too.

I'm only speaking for one yorkie here... but when Chanel got shaved down cause a groomer just decided to cut her really short - her hair texture changed and the black/blue on her back never came back as dark...to me - that groomer changed her coat - but she has VERY thick hair - I think on a silky coat it may be a different story...

After I got done being kind of mad...then laughing....I thought she looked adorable.... and so do the pics here of the puppy cuts

.... and man, was it EASY to keep up with ...

I had to shave Chloe last summer because she got into some tar or something and I couldn't get it out, so I had no choice. she looked like a pinscher!! It didn't change her texture at all, but it was easier to keep clean!! But I love brushing her long hair and was glad that it grew out...

leximax · 06-16-2005, 01:47 PM

My 2 had their first shaving this summer down to the 1/2 inch and boy ho boy it is definately easier and I wasn't sure I liked it at first but now we are considering leaving Lexi's shorter all the time due to the many mats that she gets constantly especially when she has her harness or clothes on! And to top it off her hair which is really black on her back is now all little curls. Adorable! We did leave their face hair long tho!
