Rounded face with topknot, long hair on legs and tail, short body. I was sure to tell the groomer to cut her under her arms too...that's where she mats with clothes on. She still looks very girly and is oh so cute!!! I think I have some pictures in my album. I will NEVER go back to the long flowing hair. |
I was exactly like this too!!! Jada and Bogie are both rehomes and they were both in a short puppy cut when we first got them. I always dreamed of the perfect long yorkie coat too. I spent untold $$$ on the "best" grooming products and spent hours each week on their coats. When they finally grew out and the hair was to the floor, it was at least an hour each day picking the mats out of Bogie. I had told everyone last year they would never have a short coat. Never say never
I had Bogie cut in a puppy cut before Christmas (took him to groomer) and fell in love with the short cut. Jada's I did myself shortly thereafter.
They will never be in a long coat again. They both acted like different dogs and seem so much happier, more playful and much more comfortable.
I have come to realize the long hair was for me and not what they wanted.
