Hi all. Hopefully I can get some advice. My little Yorkie is 7 months old. She has a very differrent coat than my older Yorkie who always had a thick more freshly washed looking coat.

Anyway, Zoey's hair is really thin and stringy looking (almost looks like she is still wet from a bath when she isn't). She looks this way no matter how often she is bathed and seconds after brushed. She has a really light colored silver at her roots, so I have avoided having them trim her main coat at all yet as I am clinging to her dark coat for as long as I can. They have just trimmed the essential areas to date.

I am one of those that actually loves the puppy cut. I keep my older Yorkie in that. If I get that cut on Zoey, will it look just as stringy but short or would it help fluff her up some do you think? LOL Just crossing my fingers there is a bit less stringy coat lurking underneath. I'll love her the same regardless though.

Thanks
