I use to cut Joey's bangs, but I grew out the topknot, I like it both ways, but if you cut the bangs, you have to be aware of it and for some cut them weekly so that they don't poke them in the eyes, which can cause an eye ulceration. Been there, done that. |
O wow,I always thought they were the same breed until a friend of mine filled me in.My friends Yorkie has the beautiful full cotton coat.He has to keep his little guy short because of all the tangles,His yorkie is around 10 pounds. Pippins size is so much smaller than a silky I would think. I just assumed he was a Yorkie, but i'm sure allot of people breed the silky size down now.Will Pippin be larger than we think now?He is 2 pounds and 6 oz now at 8 months,but we think he will be 3 to 4 full grown,but if he can grow taller till 18 months as, the silky is not/was not a toy breed???
As far as the cutting his top knot,I'm worried if I cut it he wont like it and will have to wait for it to grow out :/ and since he wears one band to one clip he does fine. Actually prefers it up out off his face as long as it is not heavy at all it must be very light for him to agree with it hehe.
