I have 4 dogs, 3 of them yorkies so I had to learn to groom them myself. I bathe and trim them every 2-3 weeks and comb out daily. With Cali she is 3 1/2 and I have taken her to a groomer about twice a year. She has a cottony coat and mats easy. Pixie is going to be 3 and has never been to a groomer, but she has a very silky easy coat to take care of. Roxie my 1 year old just went to the grromer for her first time last week as she needed a professional tune up!!! I went and talked to this groomer before I took Cali for her first time and she use to show yorkies and knew I wanted her in long coat. When ever I take one of mine to her, we go over exactly what I want done and she does them in about an hour. So if you can find someone who takes the time to go over what you want. |
