To cut or not to cut? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Okay I've been debating on whether I should shave the tips of Gabby's ears. I'm confused

I really love the hair on her ears but I also love clean cut look too.

Help me out?!?! Whatcha think!

Here's a pic of her and her brother Timmy.

Oh, I think she looks adorable! Personally, I like the hair on the ears, but I'm sure she will look cute either way!

No need to shave her ears, instead I would just trim with scissors, just the tip - point like - I would do just 1/2 inch down each side, and leave the rest to waterfall down

In show they shave 1/3 of the way down. I always thought their ears look much larger with hair on them, but it's just a personal prefrence.

That's exactly what I would do with her. She's absolutely adorable now, but I think you would really like it if just the little tips were sticking out. Please post a picture after you trim...that is if you decide to!

Just the little tip will look beautifull.

Okay I'm gonna try it! I'll do the scissors instead of shaving it with the clippers. I really do love the hair on her ears but I also want that clean look. Her ears are not that big either...its just the hair

I was also thinking that eventually the hair will weigh down the ears...is this correct?

Alrighttttt! I did it! I cut the hair off the tip of her ears and she looks so stinkin cute! I'll take pics of her when I get home and post them.
