| Bernie's new look What do you think? He's not quite done yet, I still need to do something with his face, but I like to spend a few days trimming (this is day two). You know, trim some, watch him run around, figure out what else needs done....trim some more. In the pic of his back, those marks are his incision scars and where the hair is actually shorter than the rest from being trimmed for surgery. As that square of hair grows, the scars should be less visible. Anyway, I think I like the fuzzy legs and short body on him. (His hair is way too curly to grow out) ...now, should I do a schnauzer type face, or just shorten up his yorkie face??? Earlier this year I had let him grow a long skirt and kept body short. It was pretty, but this looks more "manly" to me.

| I like it. I would just trim is face up a little. It doesn't really look like it needs much. He is so cute. I keep Sophie's back short and leave a short skirt. I tried it once without the skirt and she looked so funny because she is so long. To be honest I wish she didn't have to have the skirt. It would be a lot easier. Good job!

| you need some curved scissors for his face I got some from ebay and they were the best investment. I had asked a groomer at the dog park and he says it works the best to round out their face

| I think your little one is really cute the way he is so maybe just a trim would be all he needs.

| I got my curved scissors from Pet Edge. Fromm brand & I love them. I believe I paid aprox. $27.00 for them and they are worth it. Some others are very expensive and I think the Fromm are just as nice. JMO |

| You do a great job on him whether it's really short or a bit longer. He's just the cutest guy either way.
