Thank you so much everyone for your help. I know she has a ton of hair and it is sooooo beautiful. I really hate to shave it all off, but she just has an unbelievable amount of matts that I really think it is the only option. They are all down pretty much to her skin too. When I got her she had already had all these matts. I have another yorkie who is 71/2 years old and weighs 13 lbs. She is also pretty tall, long and bigger boned. Yes she is a bit of a chunker, but we are trying to get her to lose some weight. Ever since we got her when she was a puppy we brushed her hair either everyday or every other day. She to this day has never had one matt. When this little one Emmie came she had already had all these matts and I would had to brush her and put her through all that pain. I'm so mad because I would have totally kept her coat beautiful if she had come with no matts. I will attach a picture of Lexi. She is such a doll. Very spoiled and a total Daddy's girl. She is our family dog. My boyfriend got Emmie for me as my graduation present from college.
It would be easy to put clothes on her to cover up the shaved hair but so far she hates clothes. Any suggestions? Thanks so much. You all have been a great help.
Also by the color of Emmie's eyes green in the previous pictures do you think she will be a silky coat. She is 18 weeks. Is that too soon to tell?
Never mind about the picture of Lexi it is saying the file is too large.
