| awe! your baby still looks cute as a button!!!!! I am sorry you don't like it, but just think, it will grow back! Im reading on here more and more about horror stories about grooming, and i'm just in shock. I used to work as a grooming assistant, and the groomer i worked with was AWESOME, and really was great with every animal that came in there, I wish I could have you all go to her, and not be so leary about groomers!

They did a number on your baby, didn't they? Still cute, but I'd be mad, too.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I agree with the others, still an adorable baby. And, it will grow back quickly. But why do they not listen?? Do they not know any other way than to cut too much? It's kind of like going to your hairstylist, many of them seem so scissor happy!

♥ love my girls!! ♥ Donating Member | You poor thing!!! Still a cutie....but man that was a total face trimming!!! I sure hope you didn't pay them.....or at the very least got a big, big discount! They did not do the job you "hired" them to do. I would be furious! All these stories like this (in addition to the Yorkies I've read about that have died while at the groomers) is what keeps me from leaving Bella there. I've found several that have said I have to drop her off, but I found one that will do it while I wait.....and they do an AMAZING job AND are much cheaper than a lot of the others! I'm so sorry you had a bad experience, but it WILL grow back! Just think of this as just one of the many bad haircuts most people get over a lifetime

| aww....it will grow back, and your baby is still pretty! If you ever use that groomer again, tell him/her....Yorkie, not Schnauzer! |

| I do not even recognize her. She had a dark face when I left her, now it is gray. Such a shock... I almost had enough hair for a top knot. Last edited by Sweetlips6; 03-13-2009 at 07:15 PM. |

| If they don't know how to cut a yorkie then why do they try. Idiots!!! She's so precious, it will grow back but I know, believe me, all about bad groomers. I got Coco done last week and they did a beautiful cut on him except I didn't ask them to cut off the edge of his ear. Now he is permenantly disfigured. I don't show him but still what the heck??? So sorry your little baby had a bad haircut. I'm going to try it myself next time. They are not butchering my babies ever again!!!

| sorry about your baby. I had the opposite problem the last time I took Tucker. They didnt really do anything to him and charged me the same as they would for the works. I am taking him this weekend to a lady that said I can stay with him if I want because she is just doing a hygenic grooming and it wont take that long. I was very pleased that I get to stay this time. Hopefully now I will be able to get what I want. |

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Are these groomers people with English as a second language? I'm not trying to be funny here. Perhaps it would be better to type or write it out. At least then you'd have a paper trail. I just can't imagine not being able to follow the directions you gave! Your Yorkie is still as cute as can be but I understand your righteous anger. I'm still wondering if a chop cut (which I would undoubtedly do) would be better than a botched job from a paid groomer. In the grand scheme of things, I know hair will grow back but that doesn't help the stress and high blood pressure during the growing months. |

| He is still cute, but they should be fallow your instructions and not to mention that the cut look uneven. Don't worry it will grow back fast. Time to change groomer... |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Been there, done that and feel your pain. Haircuts that I didn't specify from groomers is the #1 reason I now groom my dogs myself. Straw that broke the camel's back....I had written instructions, pictures and took her 5 times do not cut ANY hair on his head. I couldn't have been any plainer.

| I kept receiving a schnauzer cut for my girl, so I went on Amazon and got a pet grooming video and a clipper set and started grooming her myself. It was less stressful for her because I could love on her between clips and she finally started enjoying her grooming time. Your baby still looks adorable, but I would be frustrated too.
