Hi. My little yorkie will not keep any bands, ribbons, clips in her hair for long and actively works at removing them. Occasionally I make a small plat which survives for quite a while. I will never clip my Yorkie
as I love her the way she is. Some Yorkies are clipped so short that I am not always sure that they are Yorkshire terriers. I have not seen any Yorkies in my area that are not clipped in some way.
