Gosh, I bet you'll never go back there again. Not only the fact the hair takes awhile
to grow back but a Yorkie should never have it's hair cut back like that - its too
drastic a change in the summer (the hair works to insulate) and since the heat is
very hard on these dogs that is another reason not to go back. If they just cut
the length and not clipped it would not bother her. Joan & Crystal

I haven't gotten a bad haircut since then luckily.

It does grow out eventually! And right now you have an excuse for some cute shirts.

I have taken Leah to get a hair cut twice. First time I got the Lady's name out of the phone book and it said she specialized in small breads. I then talked to her about what I wanted and her experience with Yorkies. Fantastic Leah had never looked so cute . Second time a friend recommended someone else. Well not only did Leah look like a she had been skinned she had caught a chill a was the shaken' dog for almost three weeks . I still blame my self though as I didn't take the time with the second lady and make sure she knew what she was doing! In an other response they took a photo - best idea! With notes on what you want that is what i will be doing next time and going back to the first lady!

I use Petco. I always make sure I get to the same groomer, because I have seen what other dogs look like when the other groomers do them. When I get my three done I always bath them before and all she does is a quick cut on Maddie and Polly and I get Rudy cut shorter, he has a cotton coat and he get to hot in the summer. I never leave mine, I walk two around in a shopping cart while she does one. Maddie will be three in Feb and I have been going to her since she was a puppy. I bet she looks cute it is just a big change when you get there hair cut short. At first I thought I had made a mistake with cutting Rudy, but it has grown on me. But I would be mad like you if they did it with out me telling them. Bet she is still a cutie.

I think someone else did instead! I explained what I wanted, but I think she thought it was easier just to cut it off! anyway, I guess it will grow! I'm just so upset about it! THANKS FOR ANSWERING!!!

Petco!!! they chopped Mandy's coat, the girl that did it was new and acted like she knew what she was doing. It looked pretty uneven around her face and had to take her back to get it fixed. I won't go back there again.
