Ben is going to the Groomers - YorkieTalk.com Forums

RachelGenson · 01-03-2009, 08:47 AM

Okay, so Ben has an appointment at the Groomers today for 6pm. This will be his 3rd time going there, with the same women that grooms him. My boyfriend wants to try a short puppy cut with Ben, and I am considering it, but I am nervous!! Ben's hair is pretty long right now, and I never had any pre-conceived ideas about how I wanted to keep his hair, but Ugh, I'm so nervous to try anything new!! Maybe someone should try to talk me into it (besides my boyfriend

) then I will feel better about it! LoL!

Im sure he will look good whatever you decide. I always kept Jewels hair long and the last grooming I got the puppy cut. At first I hated it because it was such a shock but now I love it and its so easy to take care of

Its a bear-face puppy cut for my Bailey every visit! Love it - no daily combing- in fact with this cut and her fur - no combing at all!

Good luck!

Puppy Cuts are great for people who don't have the time (or possibly take the time) to do daily grooming on their baby. I have had past males with puppy cuts and loved it! One of them had the type of hair that matted very easily so it was less painful for him too!

Good luck! Remember - hair always grows out!

I vote puppy cut! That is what I have given Daisy Mae everytime I take her to the groomer. It's real easy to care for and I like it on her.

Altho...I have to say I see the cuties with the long hair and love that too. Since you have a Boy tho, I like the puppy cut.

Bottom line, it's your choice honey, and it is just hair. It will grow back if you don't like it. You can also ask the groomer not to cout around his face too short. I think that is the shocker to see how close they cut the face. Taking a pictire with you also helps them see what you want.

Hope this helps,

I am glad your baby is going to the same groomer he has had before. That will help him feel more secure. A puppy cut will be fine ! I have only taken my Suzi once to a professional groomer and it was over $60. SO I've been trimming Suzi myself. It is really not too difficult. I am no expert, But, I am learning as i go. Suzi is 9 months old, and just yesterday i gave her a trim and bathed her. I then bought a de matter comb and condioner to get some underlying small matts . I like to learn as i go and it is rather fun to !

Thanks for all the replies! Well I took him in last night and I had a talk with the groomer about how I wanted it, and when I came to pick him up, he looked so cute! So I did get the puppy cut, and he looks like a little man now!! I will post pictures of before and after soon. Thanks again!
