Any One Else needs to get Psyched before they do the summer cut?

[Namor]

It's that time of year again and I have to get myself ready to give Deuce his summer cut. I love his long coat but I know he needs to get rid of it for the summer so he can enjoy himself. It just takes me so long to get psyched to do it. I did a little face trim so far

[ShowGirlLola]

Yes! The part that's really killing me is the rest of the puppy black is going to get cut off

[KazzyK810]

Nope. I now cut ZoE all year long, so am used to it.

I never thought I'd ever have a yorkie not in full coat. I love love love a long coat! Unfortunately, Zo's hair, while silky, it so slow growing and just looks stringy long. I never thought I'd like it short, but I really do, and it's so much easier in the summer when she wants to jump in and out of her little pool, any sunny day she can.

Deuce is adorable, I love the look on his face, like hurry up and give me a treat. I'm like Kazzy and cut my boys hair short all year long, I really love the short body hair and longer leg hair, but occasionally I see a picture of a long haired yorkie and miss it, but with two of them, it's just not practical.

Can you post a picture of your boys haircut? I'm thinking I'd like to leave the legs longer. I've seen the Joey Cut on here.

I do too as I love the look of a long coat. I cut Evie's hair about a month ago, her hair used to reach the floor. Just cut it about halfway from what it was, I couldn't get myself to cut it shorter.

Deuce is a handsome boy. I like the look on his face

[yorkietalkjilly]

Tibbe's hair grows so thick and so fast, I can barely keep up with it and it seems like I'm always giving him a summer cut - every 4 - 6 weeks - just to keep him from turning into another Adams' family Cousin Itt. And he loves his haircuts - seems to feel his hair is shorter after a good cut and he acts like he really enjoys losing all that long hair - just frolics and wallows all around after his barbering.

However you cut little Deuce, he's going to look wonderful. Still, can't blame you for hating to cut into a perfect look you love.

I've got some in my album, yes, Joey is the famous Joey of the Joey Cut, but we've changed it to the Joey Zoey cut! This is one of my favorite pictures.

Deuce is looking adorable. I keep my boys in full coat, but I started keeping Teddy's beard shorter like Deuce's in the photo. Teddy looks cuter with a short beard.

I can't decide on Max's beard. He has so much hair and the last time I cut his beard, it made his head look huge. I did cut his topknot by half because it was getting too heavy.

How do they deal with the heat?
It's barely been hot here and Lola is panting (not constant) and sleeping on her rubber mat. Her hair is an inch above the floor and I've cut her belly as short as I can.
I've had a stomach bug or I would have cut it already.

I think these little doggies are like people and have different comfort levels when it comes to temps.

We had to turn on the a/c in the house because the pollen is so thick here in our woodsy area, we wouldn't be able to open the windows anyway. The boys are comfy even with the thermostat at 78 -- I don't like the house too cold with the a/c, and neither does Teddy.

We take our walks early in the morning and evening. Even if I cut the boys coats short, there is no way we could take long walks mid-day when the temps hit high 80s or hotter with lots of humidity.

[ShowGirlLola]

I guess the main issue for Lola is my air conditioner, it's fine downstairs but upstairs (our room) is at least 10 degrees hotter.
Also, as soon as we go outside she gets way too hot.

[lisaly]

Katie can not handle the heat. She has such a gorgeous coat of thick, silky hair, but it's too hot for her in full coat. I hate cutting her hair, but she still looks both adorable and pretty with a shorter cut. Instead of always trying to find the coolest place to sleep, she cuddles close to us with the shorter hair.

Deuce looks gorgeous in both his summer and winter cuts.

Deuce is adorable! I have recently had Teddy cut and I'm always so conflicted. On the one hand, due to his coat type (COTTON), I know a short coat is much better for him especially since the weather is getting warmer. On the other hand, he never looks like my little man in a really short cut! So, yeah, I completely understand where you're coming from!

Teddy has had the exact same cut which my groomer refers to as the 'Asian fusion'. However, he doesn't look as cute as your Joey! Teddy looks more like an emaciated coyote..lol! Ah well, it grows back, right? Bonus: it takes literally 5 minutes to wash and blow dry him! Much better than the 45+ when he's in full coat!

Ha ha, well there are some days that it looks more like an emaciated coyote, right before his bath! I think the secret is getting the legs right, they have to be long enough to really be full. I know what you mean about a quick blow out, I couldn't stand standing for over two hours to do them both. Big plus is that they went down a whole size in clothing, now they can wear extra smalls! Teddy looks adorable in his avatar!
