I was just going to say...thinning shears are the way to go!
I hate a choppy cut. It leaves a nice feathered look so you can't see any lines.
We rarely took my first yorkie, Kiwi, to the groomer. We just took care of her ourselves. We tried a few groomers, but one time they cut her so short she looked like a chihuahua. She walked around with her head down for days she was so ashamed of her appearance.
Then the 2nd time we took her to another groomer and warned them not to cut her too short and she came home looking like a mini alpaca. For real! Not a good look! So we continued doing her face and feet trims ourselves. We occasionally got her paws trimmed and toenails cut at Petsmart and they cut her hair once when she was very old and did a fantastic job!
My new baby girl, Strawberry, has her first appointment at the groomers to get her used to it. I am trying out Petsmart again since they did such a great job with Kiwi. Fingers crossed.
