Mr. Darcy has a very fine coat. I just love the way it catches the breeze and seems to 'float' around him! I trim him myself. I bought clippers from Walmart. They had a picture of a Yorkie on the box, and are PINK, but Mr. Darcy doesn't seem to think this threatens his manly-ness!!!!! I just do his ear tips, face and feet. On Saturday I had him out back with me - he was on a thin string (also pink!) attached to his harness (we live up north in Canada with woods behind us) he went under the pine trees and came out covered in burrs. Took me almost an hour to comb them out - they were everywhere - even attached to his 'under carriage'!! but I still like his coat on the long side!!
