My mom's yorkie is built a bit like yours. She also has a short muzzle which, oddly, made her face look out-of-proportion with the rest of her. Her silky coat drove my mom nuts because it always looked unbrushed, but after several tries at different lengths in a puppy cut, she's found a nice, manageable cut that seems to even out Dorry's proportions. The legs being left just a little bit fluffier but not going as short on the body as I do with my Keegan (Dorry's littermate), it blends seamlessly sort of like a poodle's puppy cut does. And, with frequent bathing due to oily-ness (opposite problem than my yorkies have), she dries faster and is ready to romp with those wild, gangly front legs flying much more happily than with the longer coat.
Good luck with your cutie! |
