Hi,
This is a great deal on a nice set of scissors. You can also get them individually if you'd like just the curved shear & thinners.
Top Performance is PetEdge's brand.

I use the 4" ball point scissors a lot. I trim the edge of my Yorkies' ears when tipping, trim the hair between the eyes & nose for Momo, trim the mouth hairs going into their mouth (mostly for Mimi), great for cutting little mats in sensitive areas like the arm pits, tummy area, so many uses! When it got wet, I just wipe it off & it never rusted.

The thinning shears are great for Yorkies since they have hair, not fur. It will blend the cuts & lessen the choppy look on faces. You can also use them allover their body for trims.

The curved shears are ideal for trimming around the paws, legs, faces, anywhere where there's natural curves on the dog. I use curved shears more than the straight.

I agree w/ capt_noonie. Once you cut the hair around & between the eyes/nose, you need to keep cutting. As it grows, it will poke the eyes & cause tearing which causes tear staining in most. If you try to grow it out, it takes a painstakingly (LOL) 6-9 months. If your Yorkie is silky haired, I would let it grow out.

It really depends on their hair type & style of hair too. I keep Momo in a puppy cut & keep the area between his eyes short. He has a very short snout, so it's best for him, to keep it short. He also has soft cottony hair that grows very fast & he stayed blk & tan.
This was taken back in Oct. Momo.jpg LOL was trying out the Mickey Mouse ears look.
