I love long hair on yorkies. I understand how difficult it can be to maintain. Unless it's completely shaved off, then the hair on the legs can still tangle and matt. The matts close to the skin are the worst.

Be sure to tell your groomer how short (or long) you want the hair on your babies legs. It's easy for a groomer to just take a clipper and shave the legs down to nothing.

Good luck.

It's been a long time since have had puppies, but are bathing them about every 7-10 days (or more often as needed). However, just noticed the furbabies are getting matts on their back legs. Using a wire brush (that had from and used on our Charlie boy), but doesn't seem to be helping and they certainly don't like it
Will have to try detangler - any suggestions? (Using the Earthbaby Puppy shampoo - smells good, but so far, just an okay shampoo)
Thanks for any suggestions. Appreciate it
