YT 2000 Club Member | I never take our dogs to the groomer! I have been doing their hair cuts, nails, baths and trims since I brought them home! I comb them daily and bathe them weekly. The nails get done as needed. They do go for a dental once a year if needed!

| When I saw Max at the breeders I knew I had to get him out of there. His mom and dad were also very filthy, like they'd never had a bath in their lives!! He's is now a healthy little guy though! And he gets a weekly bath and a trim around the face when it's needed. I will be getting him a full trim in a few months when it's warmer though. |

| Wow, I can't believe that Max hadn't been bathed at all! It doesn't sound like a very nice place! I bath Gizmo every few days (approx once a week), trim his nails as needed, have trimmed around his face a couple of times & have trimmed around the pads of his feet & his private area to keep him clean. He didn't like any of it at first but now just takes it all in stride. I have been trying to decide if I am going to take him to a groomer or just do it myself. What I really wish is that I could find a good groomer that would allow me to stay and watch so I can see what they do & how they trim him so I can then do my own. |

| I might have some questions for you because I plan on grooming my dog for the most part if not always.

| So I am pretty sure I am going to try to clip & groom Gizmo myself. My biggest holdup is knowing the correct way to clip him. I am pretty sure that I want to go the route of the puppy cut. Can anybody tell me the best place to see a video on how to do the puppy cut, or possibly a book or article on how to do it? |

| Jake 12 weeks old. It seems a lot of questions I have, I find the answered already posted. Just bought a male 12 weeks old yorkie. His name is Jake. Thanks to everyone for their posts. LouAnn |

| Counting toes I have a new Yorkie puppy, Tucker. Since I realized grooming would be in his future, I made a daily habit of counting his toes. After we count (he lays on his back ), he gets chew time (still on his back), with a big dental chew. I also fondle his feet quite a bit. I'm hoping this will be a help to his future groomers. He's 3 months old and getting to be a fur ball. Last edited by TuckerMama; 01-23-2017 at 07:41 AM. Reason: Typo |

| JT has been getting groomed monthly since I got him. I started early so he would be used to the process and also to get the original kennel dirt off. He is a golden Yorkie, which I had never seen before and is absolutely beautiful when he is clean. He does love playing outside and rolling in the grass so the bathing is necessary. I keep his hair clipped to about two inches just because he is so cute with his fluffy fur coat. It is thick and grows rapidly. |

| Should I be worried about getting my Tucker groomed before he has all of his shots? |

| You should wait until all vaccines are given. Brush and comb every day to avoid matting and tangles.
