I have kept Luigi on the shorter side since we have had him, so I am not one to ask. But my friend has a yorkie and always keeps him long!!! But she decided to give him a short summer cut!!! He looks sooo adorable short!! I wish I had a pic for you! But the thing she did was though was leave his hair around his face and on the top, much much longer!!!! She likes it because he's nice and cool outside now, but still has some hair to brush and play with!!! hehehh!!!!!!!
