Grooming question for long coats I just brought home a one year old Yorkie a couple weeks ago (my second one, they are addicting!) and she is the sweetest thing ever! Our breeder shows Yorkies and was keeping little Isabelle (we call her Izzy) to show but she didn't get big enough so now she's ours! Her coat is long and probably about an inch from the floor. Her coat is beautiful but I want to take a couple inches off it, it is just too long and gets in the way when she goes potty and I don't want to have to tie the hair away from her bottom all the time like they do with show dogs. Anyway, I called our breeder who also grooms dogs and she said with the silky coats you can always see the scissor marks when you cut off length like that. Does anyone know if there is way she can cut it without it being so obvious? Like layering or something? I just want to get a little bit of length off but I don't want it to look so blunt. Any suggestions? JoRae |
I would cut it straight across. Layering it will really show. Do you just want to take a couple inches off the bottom? Maybe a groomer can help you. Or if you dont want to cut it at all, just wrap the tail and trim around the anus area for cleanliness. |
I cut turbos belly straight, and then for his legs and butt I use curved shears and trim in the angle of the leg. Just trim to a length you like. Hope that helps some? |
I've seen yorkies in full coat have their hair trimmed just a bit. Scissors were used and the hair was cut straight across just like you would do in a basic trim with human hair. As long as it's even, it should look fine. |
Thank you all for your help. I think I might just have her cut it straight across. If worse comes to worse it'll always grow out. JoRae |
