| First off I wouldn't trim around the eyes or the nose. Let those grow normally. As for the ears, you need a clipper that can shave the hair on both sides of the ears to 1/3 down and make a clean cut on the tips. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | hey there...I have some shots from a few years ago.....I agree you shouldn't trim the eyes - but I DO ....only a TINY bit though as it sticks into my girls eyes and interfers with their spy duties... I LOVE the wahl trimmer for the ears and bootie....and then the tiny 1/4 head trimmer & A personal trimmer from Sallys Beauty supply for those wild hairs near the eyes...here's some pics I took one day when grooming her |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | And...here's Cheri right after I did her ears - I may have shaved a bit too far but ususally do the TOP third of the ear - Inside the ear and the back of ears |

ps...the ears are VERY EASY to do - shave UP and never go against the edge of the ear or you can gouge them - so shave against the FLAT part of the ear - you can hold it against your thumb and just a few swipes and viola - pretty trimmed ears !

Cheri hardly needs much grooming but I'm always doing Chanel and my trick is to take my time...talk to her alot - KISS her every 3 minutes and be firm but make it fun. She sits pretty well and lets me know when she's had enough. Lots of praise and patience.... IF you have a wiggler - it helps if you have someone hold them while you work and try to start off with just a few things at a time...Like one day do ears - another day - feet...another day nails - it's tedius but works for me. | |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | She has beautiful eyes doesn't she ?? It really does make a difference. I know lots of people would cringe at cutting their facial furnishings but my girls are in and out all the time and I just want them to SEE where they're going...its not like we 'show' or anything lol - we just SPY ! and I love looking into those gorgeous chocolate eyes |

| Pictures are great. Just getting my little ones big enough to think about total grooming. Want to do it myself as well. They are two different types of coats so I will need to look at lots of pictures to get an idea of what needs to be done. These are so helpful. Thanks Nan |
