I could just cry! 2 Attachment(s) I took Niko in for a cut yesterday evening and she about shaved him bald!!! I told her I wanted a puppy cut, as I prefer to keep his hair short. I didn't want her to take too much off the face, and she didn't. But, the body...omgosh...my poor baby! I feel so bad! Where all his beautiful black hair was is now almost bald. I specifically asked if she was experienced with Yorkies when I called and she reassured me she was. When I went to pick him up she told me that she had never seen a Yorkie with hair like mine. :eek: She said the hair shaft comes out a lil then twists...so she had to cut it shorter than she expected...:mad: She should have called me first! She said she used a 5 blade on him? and would use a 3 or 3.5 next time...as if there would be a next time. I was just in shock...I couldn't say anything. Now when I take my precious lil baby on vacation next week he's going with a bad haircut!! Everytime I look at him I just want to cry! |
Just remember he is your same baby ... he does not know any different and will always be beautiful in your eyes. The hosiptals are full of children who have lost their hair due to chemo... so whenever i killed my lawn one year when we had just been in our home for one year ... i just put things in prospective and got through it . It will grow back. |
I'm sure this is so hard for you since it wasn't what you were expecting or wanted for your beautiful furbaby! As a innocent bystander I think he still looks totally adorable!!!! :) |
Well he's still super cute! At least you can be assured that the hair will grow back, and from what I hear pretty fast. Sorry that you ended up with a bad groomer! She definitely must not have been experienced with Yorkies. |
awwww hun. I am so sorry she did that! I agree, she should have called you. But, your little guy is still precious and most of all, he is yours! So sad that people will tell you anything to get you in. I miss honesty. Niko is a doll. Oh, and if it really is that bothering to you, you can always throw him in some cute clothes to cover him up for your vacation. ~Lisa |
ah, he is still super oooper cute!!! it will grow. just buy him some sweaters and hoodies and he will be all warm and cozy, and before you know it, he will have that beautiful hair back :) but he is still adorable. :) |
Aww Mommie I enlarged the picture and he's still the cutest little thing ever. It will grow back, just brush and kiss. |
Yes, Becky, you're right..almost sounds petty of me, doesn't it? Sorry. I was just needing to vent a lil I guess. But, you're right..it will grow and there are far worse things in the world. He will always be adorable to me! He's my baby. I'll go hide in my corner now...feeling a tad ashamed.:embarasse |
I think he is a super cutie patootie! It'll grow back. ;) |

Ditto with what PePe said. Look at it this way...now you have an excuse to bundle him up in cute sweaters and hoodies! I think he's adorable, but I like the close cut. Don't worry, mama. It'll grow back. |
Don't feel ashamed! There is always someone in the world worse off then you but that doesn't mean you aren't supposed to have feelings about your own life and happenings. Doesn't make you a cruel and insensitive person, just makes you human.;) I think everyone here can totally relate to how you feel. |

Ahhh Dont feel so bad, he is still a sweetie pie:) Its will grow back;) I felt the same way when molly was shaved, Its fianally growing back and his will to;) He is a cutieeee, no mater what:) :) |
I did not want to make you feel ashamed... I felt bad when I trimmed Jax's hair last week it made me sick , my daughter even said to me " mom i cant believe you did that ." But i figured there were worse things... sorry i mentioned the children... i just am a nurse and have loved ones going through chemo right now ... so i guess it got away from me. Please accept my apology for making you feel bad ... like everyone says sweaters work wonders. |
I would be upset too. but it does grow back pretty fast. I always spend time with the groomer and go over exactly what I want done. She was a yorkie show breeder at one time and knows that I want the long coat. Maybe when you take him to another groomer you can justsay trim him up a bit as they see to take off more than you want most places. He is a doll |
im sorry:( , he still looks cute! |
3 Attachment(s) My Willow's hair is like this. In the spring and summer, i have her shaved even shorter, cuz it grows sooooooo fast. i really do think this is a puppy cut. i've attached some pics. i love it like this, cause she stays much cleaner. :) |
Awwwww, I know how you feel - I felt the same way when Roxy got butchered at PetCo. But Niko is still Niko - as cute as he can be . Many of the YT folks have been there, and even with all of our stressing out over bad haircuts, their hair does grow back:) . |
Same thing happened to me before. I now have a groomer come to the house. He is still adorable, but I would never go back. |
blades Isn't the bigger the number blade the longer the hair that is left? That is the way it is in my hubby's army hair cuts... a 1 is bald...2 really short 3 good... 4 kicked out of the army...lol If it is that way and she said she would use a 3.... and she used a 5... stay very far away. My mom has a very hard time finding groomers doing puppy cuts for her maltese... one has a puppy cut the other a full coat... she finally took in a pic of a puppy cut.... w/ ears cut like a little girl's bob and they got it right. Try taking a pic next time. Btw...we had to have Chloe shaved reallty close.... she got into sticktights in my neighbors yard and w/ her hair... there was no saving it... we saved a small...very small saddle and her head hair....lol... she looked like a lion for about 3 months! |
Thanks everyone for the wonderful words! I know it'll grow...and I'm hoping just quickly...LOL No one made me feel bad...I did that on my own. :) So please...no worries...there are no hard feelings here. It really helped to put things in perspective. Angela |

opposite, the bigger the number the shorter. They use a 50 blade in vets for surgery. I use a 40 on my yorkies ears. |
The larger the number... the shorter the hair. We usually use a 3 or a comb for the puppy cut, unless they are matted and cannot get the 3 through their hair. A 10 is used on the belly and for sanitary cuts. 30 is used for pads. Just thought that I would share this. Your puppy is still one BEAUTIFUL little yorkie!!!!! I'm sorry you didn't get the cut that you wanted! |
He's a cutie, sorry about the bad experience. My husband did this once.. he thought he would surprise me, boy was it a surprise! Anyways, I sent those shirts out to you yesterday... the lady said they would get there by Friday! that's when it is supposed to get cold here again ( maybe there too since you are one state away?) they will help keep him warm! |
I think he looks very cute, hair will grow back, dont vry over it. |
the bigger the number the longer the hair ... wouldn't that be if you were talking about the guards not the blades? |
So would a 5 be good for a puppy cut? or something else? |
That's exactly why Murfee gets haircuts by me. All I can say is that first picture would melt any bodys heart. Talk about cute. |
:eek: I totally agree that the groomer should have given you a call:thumbdown but at least it will grow back and he is so cute no matter what:) :p :D |
