Hello eveyone...
I'm new here and am looking for any advice in raising a Yorkie I can find!!

Living in the country, we have always had large "outside" dogs. Well a friend of a friend had a Yorkie that she needed to find a home for. My husband and I went to visit them and came home with Harley.

This has been an experience. He has a lot of energy and seems to live to chase the cats and ducks. When he does, he needs a bath afterwards!

After spending a crazy amount of time combing the grass and sticks out of his hair. I began looking for any short hair cut pictures. His hair isn't as long as some of the others I have seen on this site, but I feel like for the summer I need to try to trim him. Is it best to have him groomed by a professional? How fast do their hair grow back? We do have colder winters here and would hate for him to still have shorter hair when it turns cold.

Harley is a larger Yorkie weighing in at 11 pounds and I would like to find a cut that will look good on him as well as keep him from getting grass and twigs tangled in his hair. He loves to be outside and I would hate to take that away from him. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

Thanks, Kathie
