Well the reason I posted this thread was because I have a yorkie whose hair is so soft (as silk), but "fluffy", and it doesn't lay nice against his body. But when he was wearing belly bands while my female was in heat last November, afterwards when I brushed him out he was losing tufts of fur...maybe the hair that was being rubbed against the belly band.....and since then, the hair on the bottom fourth of his body lays pretty nice. But from his rib cage on up it's still "fluffy". I've kind of wondered if the "fluffy" hair was part of his puppy coat, but he'll be 2 in September so maybe not. Anyway in looking at him yesterday I wondered about the buzzing idea. He's not even 5 lbs, so I'm not going to do it.......I just recently got brave enough to cut it shorter, but no buzz for him forseen.
FYI, I have one in a long full coat (straight & silky), the one with the "fluffy" coat (shorter, but not buzzed), and one with the schnauzer cut (love this cut on him). |
