I have a 4-month old boy yorkie, Benji. He needs a haircut and I would love some imput as I am fairly new at this.
How fast can I expect his hair to grow back in?
Do you cut/trim the hair on the ears?
Another issue I have is that the hair on his body is somewhat matted. I was away for a couple of weeks (wasn't able to take him with me
) and he didn't get proper brushing, which resulted in the matting. I tried brushing it out but the matted parts are close to the skin and it's no use. The ends aren't matted and he looks fine, but when I run my hand through his coat, I can feel little "bumps" in the hair.
What do you think if I cut the hair on his body to about 1/2 inch length?
Some yorkie owners suggested I use hair clippers for the hair on his body; does anyone have experience with this?
I don't plan on letting his hair grow super long either, so I don't mind cutting it off, I just wonder how long will he have to live with the super-short hair look...
The pic posted is of Benji with combed hair (pre-matting), never cut.
