Question about grooming for long hair - YorkieTalk.com Forums

RONLYNN · 01-31-2008, 09:59 AM

So if I am growing Teddi's hair out when I take her to get groomed tomorrow what do I have them do besides wash her? I want them to cut around her butt to keep the poop from sticking and I will have them cut the top of her ears but what about her feet? Do I have them trim her feet? What else? do I have them trim around her eyes at all? Please let me know because I've never tried the long think before....so I know you can all help me since most of you have the long coats.

You can just ask for a Yorkie cut. They usually just trim the ears, tail, and feet and some necessary areas, I believe.

I just shave the tips of the ears, trim around the feet, shave in between the paw pads, trim around the butt, and shave the vulva. Oh, and trim nails.

That's what Izzy's groomer does as well.

I would also tell the groomer NOT to touch her face. My OLD Groomer didn't follow my request, to not touch their face and their topknots. You can imagine my shock when I picked them up

She said her Assistant misunderstood her, and gave them a trim all over.

It was my own fault for not researching competant Yorkie groomers first!!
