| Does anybody else dislike the "puppy cut"?? I think a lot of the beauty of the breed is in the hair, and how long and flowy it can be. Even with a cottony coat, I think they look great a bit more fluffy...I can understand the logic of doing it in the summer if the dog is outside all the time, but for those that don't have them outside all that often, I can't ever understand getting one. I just hate the short cut. Maybe "hate" is a strong word. Let's go with dislike. I just think it's determental to the look of the dog. |

Donating YT 11K Club Member | I agree that it is the beauty of the breed, the hair. I keep mine long, i never cut them except Teddy cause he had tons of knots i couldn't take out but it is growing out beautifully

| hehehe. I don't like puppy cut either but Momiji has puppy cut... The reason is to keep her clean and easier to groom each day. She gets poop on her butt hair a lot so I keep shampooing her butt every other day or so and I know it isn't good or she doesn't like it. So I keep her hair short. But I kept the topknot!!! And it is easier to put close off if her hair is shorter!!! |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | i think it looks cute Brownie has had it a few times i think thats ones of the great things about yorkies you cant have fun with there hair if not showing & they look cute in every cut & most people with a cottony coated yorkie cant keep it long cause its not just fluffy its matts tangle & knots some people love the temperment of a yorkie but do not have the time to keep up with a long coat it does take alot of time & money |

| the long hair is not practical for a lot of people. i feel a bit defensive about your wording on the puppy cut... i think all the dogs on here look great no matter how their hair is.... while having layla's hair long is not practical for us and it isn't my favorite look i think by saying hate you kinda put down people who's dog have the puppy cut. just my opinion |

| i personally love the puppy cut, and find it very practical. I keep the face and head long, and the tail, and I think my babies look very cute!

| coat All Yorkies should be so lucky to have owners who devote a few minutes of daily care to their coats, teeth, ears etc...but unfortunately many are a mess of knots, mats, teeth never brush, dirty ears, long nails...so groomers like me and my kind have to sort it all out and put the Yorkie in a clip that is benefical to their well being...something the owner can maintain, especially those with more then one. The soft coat needs so much daily care to prevent tangles, I do not blame anyone for wantign a short clip... Plus, many like to dress their pets and long coats make it hard. |

| I keep both of my girls in the puppy cut because they both wear clothes a lot. I think the puppy cut is "cute" while the standard long hair is "elegant" so it just depends on how you want them to look! |

| Detramental? That's kinda a harsh way to put it... Teddy's hair is long and considering he is a boy and hubby and my son take out anything I put in his hair the minute they see it poor Teddy can't see! LOL Tonight is bath night and I was considering cutting it. I think Yorkies are perfectly adorable in full coat and with a nice puppy cut. I especially think it suits the boys. So when we finally are able to have our little girl she will have long beautiful hair and Teddy will sport that manly puppy cut for us! Did I forget to say that I think thier comfort is first and formost? Kim

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Oh absolutely not! Not here anyway I love both long and shorter. However, I actually DON'T prefer the super duper LONG "show dog" hair on a Yorkie (well unless he/she is in the show ring of course, lol). Hmmm, let me rephrase that. I don't mind it on the body so much - but for some reason I don't like the face hair to be super duper long. Reminds me of a lion somehow, lol. My little girl's body hair will be longer, but the hair on her face/head I will always keep in a medium length (which some MIGHT even consider to be a little on the shorter side - she is in my avatar, and that is how the hair on her head/face will most likely always be). My little boy's body hair was longer a few months ago, but I cut it short and LOVE it on him. His face I keep shorter also (not super duper short - but short enough ). Also though, I think....it just depends on the Yorkie itself. Mind you, all Yorkies look different, and I have seen some that I actually prefer with their coats a little longer, others I think look much better with a shorter cut. I think alot of it (well at least with me personally anyway) has to do with the Yorkies nose/snout. If a Yorkie has one of the longer noses/snouts - I think the super short hair on the face only makes it look bigger/longer. Truthfully, for me - it just all depends on each individual Yorkie But honestly, for the owner himself it's all just a matter of personal preference, and whether or not you have time to groom and maintain a longer coat.

| I like both..but what I like about the puppycut is when he gets it he looks like a PUPPY again.

| I for one am all for the puppy cut. I just think it's determental to the look of Sam if he had the long coat Good Golly as much as he runs and rolls, he would be one big knot.
