I'm a groomer and show yorkies too, I refuse to cut a dog down without working out the matts (even if the owner wants a cut down), those clippers running through the coat pulls too. |
I am so glad to hear this. I want mine all in long coats and usually don't have a problem like I do right now. Th groomer moved up Cali and Roxie's appointment to tomorrow and I was seriously thinking of cutting Cali down. After reading this I will make sure the groomer keeps them long. I have been working on them daily for 5 days so hopefully the worst are out.
