| My yorkies hair I took my 5 month old yorkie in to get groomed, her name is Belle...well dropped her off and when my husband picked her up they had shaved her fur short, theres no length at all. I had told the woman that Belle's hair was short enough that she would probally just need to trim around her face. My question is does anyone no how long it will take for her hair to grow back?? Thanks! SueSue |

| TO YORKIETALK!! Sorry to hear about that horrible groomer....I would be looking into a new groomer....I am lucky to have one (when I take mine to a groomer) where I can stay and watch. But years and years ago I had taken Mojo to one and I said to take off an inch...AND she took him down to an inch!!! I didn't pay...I was furious...but if I recall, it didn't take long at all for the hair to come in.

| This is why I am scared to take mine to the groomer. Tessa is almost 5mths too and I just do little trims at home. I was under the impression that Yorkie hair grew like human hair, so I would have to say about 6-8 wks?

| It's so obnoxious when groomers trim your baby too short. I've had to keep switching groomers and still haven't found one I that I love. I don't exactly how long it will take to grow back, but I can say that it grows faster than you think!

| The groomer should not have shaved you dog unless he was badly matted. I have a friend that is a groomer that gets Yorkies and other dogs that are so badly matted that she has no choice but shave them. Some puppies coats are bad about matting and the owners might not even be aware of it because the mats are so close to the skin. I am not saying this was the case with your puppy but for other that take their dogs to the groomer, realize a groomer cannot spend hours and hours trying to get all the mats out, so your must keep your puppy brushed and combed. Your babies coat will grow back at the same rate it took it to get to the length that was before it was cut off. |

| Welcome to YT. That is the very reason that I trim Murfee myself. He has been to the groomer once when he was a puppy. He is 4 now and never been back. I am by no means a professional but he looks cute to me.

| Welcome! I myself had a horrible experience w/ Sadie's first grooming; we live in New England and took her to the groomers in the middle of winter. She wasn't horribly matted so I was soooooo upset when the "puppy cut" they had given her translated into "shaved with a little hair around the face." I was upset because it was so short but also because it was WINTER in NEW ENGLAND and the poor thing shivered for weeks. I think it was a combination of the cold and I really do think they weren't all that nice to her. But luckily I relented and took her to a different groomer months later and their "puppy cut" really does look adorable....I tell her she looks like a little reindeer, she's allllll leg with this cut, it's so cute. Bottom line is, it's traumatizing but the hair really does grow back pretty quickly. Try not to worry too much and tell your puppy that he/she looks adorable.

| I took Cinderella to a different groomer the one time, and asked for cute puppy cut. The woman cut her hair down to next to nothing. She was also 5 months old. Cinderella was not well for weeks, because the groomer also cut her vulva hair too short, and was poking her tender skin down there. She couldn't even walk. She would just sit, and even at that, she would jump up and freak out as she sniffed down there. I guess the newly, sharp cut hair was too prickly for her. Sigh...what an ordeal she went through. I called my regular groomer who has been grooming my shihtzu for almost 10 years, and she knew right away what type of cute Cinderella had without even seeing her. Commonly called the "schnauzer cut" or "puppy cut". When I asked her how long it would take for Cinderella's hair to go back to how it looked before, she said the most interesting thing. "Well, if Cinderella has never had her hair cut since she was born....and she's 5 months old...then I think it will be safe to say that it will take 5 months for it to grow back to exactly how it looked like before you cut her hair!". Is that not totally true? It made total sense to me, I don't know about other member here though |

| I would probably literally kill a groomer if they shaved Lacy... I would seriously be so pissed. I groom her myself and will always groom my dogs...I don't trust anyone else. I hear of way too many shave stories...it might just be "hair that will grow back" to a groomer but it takes WAY too much time to grow a coat out to let some idiot chop it off

| It takes about a month for them to get furry again. About 3 months to have short hair ( maybe 3 inches). Is your pup taking it out on you like mine did to me (see video below)? |
