No Longer a Member | How to Trim the Ears As you can see, Rizzo has adorable ears however I'd like to trim them to the standard, top 1/3 of ear "tipped" but I honestly don't know what that means...entirely. I get that means that the top third of his ear should be trimmed down, however, do I shave down to the skin, do I leave an inch on there? Do I trim both the front and back of the ear? I've done a search hoping that someone asked the same thing but found a ton on self grooming, but not much on grooming the ears to the standard. I'm growing his coat out, mostly out of curiosity and I'd like to stay pretty close to how it should look. Groomers, breeders, how do you trim the ears? He looks almost like he could fly if only he could figure out how to flap his ears, lol. |

| Here's a link that will assist you Jon-An's Yorkshire Terriers (How to train Yorkies ears to stand) However, the first think you should invest in is a good set of trimmers. I highly recommend a WahlPeanut, very safe and can be used to trim paw pads too. The Peanut can be purchased either on line; Amazon.com or Sally's Beauty Supply.

| I still have a question about how long to keep the ear hair that sticks out on the sides. Charm ear hair is thick and even though I shaved the top 3rd it still covers her ears and looks heavy. Do I just let that hair grow long or do I trim it? |
