I don't keep Huey floor length, but he has never been cut short. I do the visor over the eyes and clip the top of his nose and inner eyes. Other than that, I keep a contoured cut a couple of inches off the ground and clean feet-all more of a modified silky cut instead of a yorkie cut. We did a bath and face trim this morning. I do bathe him every week, but
contrary to everything I've heard, I only brush him with his blow dry and maybe one other time between baths Thank goodness he has good hair. The only part that gets knotted is his mustache and sometimes a bit on the top of his head. I condition him well with the bath and straighten everything out with the blowdry. Here are a couple of photos. The one in front of the fire has a crooked part, I know

but you can see his clean feet, coat length and nose/visor. I agree with gracielove that the grooming is more work than a short coat, but I just love the way he looks with the big ears and long hair!
