I get peanut shaved 1/4 inch on his body and a puppy cut on his head, I do it in the summer..well I am in calif so it is pretty much warm here all the time so I do this cut a lot! I think he likes it too!! He is really active as well, we are always going somewhere or doing something outside. I had his hair longer and it was really hard for me to maintain. I find this really easy!! Plus with leaving his head a little long he still has that cute yorkie look!! Whatever you get dont worry it will grow back! Peanuts hair grows sooooo fast! You never know you might like it short!! Good luck send us pics!!
