Does anyone here that does not show their yorkie have them in a complete full show coat? Paddy isn't a show dog but I just love the long hair so much. I've got him about half way there with just good grooming and conditioning. But I feel that to get his hair floor length I would have to learn to wrap it and limit his running around in the mud more. Is that worth it? Is it even possible if I let him run in open dog areas and beaches once or twice a week? If anyone has any thoughts please share.

Also, does anyone else's yorkie just absolutely HATE cutting between their eyes. I have tried and tried desensitizing him to the scissor but still he only lasts about a minute before he's moving his head left and right and trying to bite the scissor. Even turkey won't get him to cooperate. Its only a little bit better than trying to pluck his ears. That is just a nightmare. Advice on these would be awesome. Thanks!
