The people here on YT are very knowledgeable about yorkies and read about them all the time. We know what we want, what works, and what doesn't work. The population of YT makes up a extremely small percentage of yorkie owners however. Most people want a simple short pet cut, clean eyes, round head and round feet. At least that's how it is in my area.
At grooming school we were told to clean the eye area of all the dogs that need it unless otherwise instructed. |
That is helpful, thank you. That's probably where the disconnect is - I told them to leave the face "as full as possible", meaning that I want them to comb the hair to fall naturally and maybe trim the ends a tiny little bit. I am not sure where "I am growing out his hair" went, but maybe I will just have to learn to do it myself -- I don't want to deal with worrying that the groomer might assume "long" means "leave the whiskers and cut everything else."
Is there not a standard term I can use? I tell them I want a "full puppy cut", which I understood to mean that all the hair on the face is long.
