I see cuts that I like here on Yorkietalk....they look like the hair is about an inch or so long all over, full face with hair going every which way and just fluffy and random like a puppy. Her cut turned out way too short and choppy. I used clippers on her with the longest comb the clippers came with but I am wondering if I should just use scissors and skip the clippers all together. I liked the way she looked when she was about 3-3/12 months old....a little length but not shaggy.
Does anyone here do their own grooming or have advice on how to get the look I am after? |
Maybe you could take her to a groomers and have them shape her coat up.
I do cut Daisy's hair or at least I have a couple times. When we first got her, her hair was long, but thin, so I took her in and had her professionally groomed...actually she's been groomed at the groomers 3 times since April and I've trimmed her up twice myself. She's very cooperative. Abby on the other hand. I just can't do her. She's too squirmy and I'm afraid I'll hurt her.
I would just bite the bullet and take her in and get her trimmed up. Did you do her face too?
