| Desperate... Hi Everyone, I am questioning/looking for the "perfect" haircut for Cooper..LOL I have looked online and just can't seem to find what I am looking for. Cooper is fiesty to say the least (2 yrs) but The last groomer did a horrible job. and that was last Thanksgiving. Needless to say he looks like Chewbaca from Star Wars... We are trying a new groomer this week and I am noticing that most ppl on this site have their yorkies cut rather short. (puppy cut?" What bothers me is the other lady shaved his nose... I have spent all this time growing it out. I "LOVE" the long hair on his head and beard/mustash and I don't want his tail cut. Just a peri shave. His feet and legs get soaked when we walk in the morning dew. Also I want a belly shave but I want him to have a "pee string" on his you know what. The last time I explained all this to the groomer and she still did what she wanted. I know I could/should do it myself but I have severe RA and my hands don't work like normal ppl. I am tempted but it would be an all day affair. LOL Also... if they cut him really short he will lose all his black body hair. His skin underneath is Black so I don't know why but his hair on his back is black, but then there is a half inch area that is silver. then the roots are black?? Does anyone have a clue what to tell her? If I stay while she does it she charges more??? I would like to take a picture to her. Our appointment is Wed. thanks for any and all input

| I tell my groomer to give Ted the "Teddy Bear" cut. She trims up his face/beard, and ears. I tell her "clean feet" so she gets the excess hair between the toes. I like her to shave his belly/anus/private parts, and do not leave a "pee string". I have her shave the belly up to the arm pits. I also have her leave a "flag" on his tail, so it looks like he is waving a flag behind him when he walks. Since Ted is rough and tumbly, he doesn't get a top knot or ponytail/bow. I like for him to have that "scruffy" look.

| Thanks for your reply, I also like the scruffy look! Since he has so many colors (black, Gold' Silver) It looked like a chop job when I picked him up. Anyway I will consider your suggestions. Thanks again
