Good summer cut? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Brooklyn619 · 05-14-2007, 06:22 AM

I took my girl to the country this weekend and she was in the river and running through the fields having a grand ol' time. But when I got her home she was matted and had burrs all stuck in her long fur! It took forever to brush it out and she hated it. Does anyone have an idea for a good summer cut where she still looks like a yorkie but with shorter hair maybe? She's a puppy and her coat is just now growing out, so I don't want to really do the "puppy cut" just yet.

Good question! I myself and looking for a good summer cut as well. Izzy is about 5 months old and I am letting her grow, BUT yesterday it was 96 here and she was so hot. She wasn't even acting right. So now I think I want to do a summer cut of some sort but I have no idea what to do.

Anyone have suggestions and can post some pictures maybe?

Yay for my "NEW GROOMER"/I look handsome

Check Buddy out. I love this cut. It's his first time with it and the
groomer did an awsome job. Left alittle skirt around the body.
Somewhat like a modified Schnauzer cut.

Of course not! Glad you like it. Let me know when your baby gets cut
and post pics.

She is at groomer/daycare today! So I'll post pics of her new cut when I get home

I did use Buddy's pics as an example

Here is Gracie's new summer cut. Her skirt is about an inch or two long. I had her face clipped short in a Teddy Bear cut, but kept her top knot! Brushing is a breeze now!

That is so cute...it is still long, but short (if that even makes sense) - I like to be able to still have a small topknot for cute bows and clips.

Please post pictures when you get back from the groomers!!!!

She looks beautiful and it's so cool for them with the shorter coat.

I don't know what the groomer called it, by I call it a medium puppy cut with a teddy bear face. I just showed her with my fingers how much hair to cut off.

I wish I had seen these pictures before Spicy's appointment. I told the groomer I wanted to keep the top knot and so they left the hair on top of his head, but not his bangs! Would they think I was insane if I asked to stay next time and "supervise" the cutting part?

I saved Gracie's picture so I could print it for next time. Hope thats ok?

I'm more than happy to have you print and share. I don't think it is a bad thing to ask to supervise, but I think I heard somewhere that our babies tend to act up at the groomers if we are there to "rescue" them. I would just be very explicit about what you want. Write it all down ahead of time and then physically show the groomer what you want. I'm just very lucky that I have a very talented groomer who is very used to grooming Yorkies!

I get my babies cut in a puppy summer cut almost year round since it is always hot here in Florida - here are some pictures so you can see what it is like.
