Only some Yorkies can get away with it IMO. But yeah I don't like the look of leaving the skirt, legs, etc personally (except for on a few dogs on here, Joey comes to mind).
For some dogs, I believe they look better shaved or short. Also Jackson is ALL BOY -- he is an outdoor boy, who swims all summer, runs thru tall grass, runs thru the woods, and rolls around in dirt. Shaving/short is the easiest and I think he looks quite handsome and would look like a stringy rat with long hair, haha... He would be a miserable dog if he had to be brushed every day, and extensively groomed, etc.... His happiness is more important to me. |
I agree, Peanut may be a little "Metro" but when it comes to his hair he likes to be shaved, and of course longer hair on the face... Like Jackson, Peanut is pretty active- more so in the summer- We are always outside, going on the lake, and on the boat so the short short hair works great for us- One dip in the lake and one shake as he is coming out and I dont have to worry about a "wet dripping dog" Also I dont have to worry about an overheating dog when we are outside
I think you have to do what works for you and your dog- Like myself and Britt the short hair works for us, For Tena & Zhoie the "Joey" cut works for them!
