| First "official" grooming this weekend!! Well the girl is slated for her first real haircut this weekend. Poor thing can't see!! I've tried the topknot but she rips it out as fast as she can!! Tab's front has been growing faster - she looks like a lion. I think I"m just going for a puppy cut with long ears. |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | Good luck with the first grooming. Make sure you specifically tell the groomer what you what done and what you don't want done. If you just say puppy cut with long ears you're probably gonna get something you don't want. A "puppy cut" just means same length all over, it does not specify which length. So be sure to tell the groomer how much hair you want taken off the body or how much hair you want left on the body. Legs even with the body. Head slightly longer then body length and round. The ears are typically tipped on yorkies unless they are floppy ears so if you want the hair left on them be sure to make sure the groomer understands not to tip them. Also tell the groomer if you do not want the hair under the eyes trimmed because you are growing it out for a top knot or whatever reason. The standard thing to do is scissor or shave out the tiny hairs under the eyes so they don't hide the eyes or poke them in the eyes. The best thing to do is bring a picture with you of a realistic cut you want on your dog.

| the problem with pictures is sometimes the coat on the dog in pic is not the same as the coat of the actual dog, and therefor it may not be possible to get that look. but definately be very specific about the lengths you want. and the groomer should go over the dog before you leave. i'm assuming your baby is tangle free. good luck. |
