I very much perfer the long coat on yorkies too. Lacy's hair grows so incredibly slow..I never cut it, but at three years old it's not even what I would consider medium length yet...it frustrates me. I just started giving her fish oil so I'm hoping just maybe it'll start growing faster.. I will continue to keep letting it grow though because I want it to get long. I will always keep my yorkies' hair long. I just LOVE the full coated look. I worked at a dog boutique/grooming salon until I started vet school, and we had a few dogs that would come in with long hair and get it all cut off. It made me so sad... The only yorkie that I've prefered the puppy cut look on is my best friend's yorkie because he has super wavy, almost curly hair and it just poofs when it gets long and it makes him look very unkept...so short hair looks so much better on him. But on yorkies that have straight hair, the long coat looks better to me. It's just so gorgeous!
