Ok I generally get my Yorkies hair cut pretty short for this reason. But I want to try to keep them longer through the winter. We recently climbed into bed and found a not so wonderful smelly gift from one of my babies!! UGH!! Plus my male has to wear a belly band during the day and the long hair smells and makes him more irritated. Those of you with long haired Yorkies, do you groom their privates yourself or take them in monthly?? What is your secret??
