Yes I know it is a lot of work....but I really need detailed..written instructions. I am visually impaired so I just can't grab a print book or look at a picture. Please give al the advice you can. I don't want the "puppy cuts" the "schnauzer cuts" r the oter "short cute trims" that the local groomers want me to give him. Coat is one of the easons I fell i love with Yorkies fifteen years ago..one of the reasons I've had several. Ball is my baby and now that I have the time I'd like tolearn to do it correctly. Thanks for any help. |
Like other have said, growing coat it a lot of work but if your yorkie has a proper silky coat it is easier to achieve. You need to start with a good quality shampoo and conditioner. It is hard for us to give detailed instructions on how to care for your baby's coat without us knowing what kind of coat he has. Here is a good website that gives some good information about coat care and it describes the different types of coats.

I read in one of your earlier post that your pup was 5.8 lbs at 3 months so it is most likely you pup will be too big to show in conformation but he would probably do great in obedience so you might want to check that out. You might find someone in your area that gives classes in obedience. Best of luck to you.
