| Hairdo help!!!!!!! I have a foster dog who is about 13 lbs with floppy ears, he has been on petfinder and a rescue website for 3 months with no interest I thought maybe it was the hair? I need to get him groomed but I need help with ideas. I have been searching for pics online but I cant find anything I like, its hard with the floppy ears. Im not sure if I should let them shave the ears or leave them long, cut them staight across or to a point? I feel like his body needs to be pretty short because he has curly hair and the longer it gets the rounder he looks. Any suggestions would be appreciated and pics even better. I cant post pics of him in my thread for some reason but I do have a couple of him in my profile albums under Sam.

| Well, first of all...Sam is a doll! I have a soft spot for the bigger babies...he looks like he would be the perfect 'family sized' Yorkie. I love the Schnauzer cut on a Yorkie...the ears would be shaved, the back short, fluffy legs and a short 'skirt' around his body. I wonder if the ears would come up at all once they are shaved? |

| I like the westie cut too. Its the big floppy ears Im having a hard time with, do we shave them with that cut? I dont want him to look funny. I really can only see him with a puppy cut and he really wont look to different with a puppy cut.

| I think he quite a cutie too. We probably arent parting with him. We are his 5th home. He has been with us 3 months and with no potential adopters so it would be best for him and us to have him stay. We are new to fostering and just adopted out our other foster and it was so hard. Hopefully the adopting out process will get easier each time. I would love to continue to help yorkie's find there forever home but man is it hard when you invest so much time and love to them and they leave. Its for a good cause but that dosent mean it dosent hurt when they leave.

| Awww he is so cute. I think he just needs a trim. Sophie has floppy ears and weighs 13 lbs too. I like the ears long. Wish I could have him. He really is a cutie. Here are a few pics of Soph that may give you an idea.

Sophie is so cute. I like how her body is cut short and the ears are long. I was having a hard time picturing him with shaved ears. I was feeling like if I shaved his body then I would have to do the ears but thats not true huh?

| OMG, Sam is just the cutest thing ever!!! I know Yorkies are supposed to have "sticky-up" ears, but I LOVE floppy ears! My new 4 month old baby has one floppy and one sticky-up, and i'm prayin it stays that way I think dogs w/ one or both ears floppy are just the cutest! I think you should keep the hair on Sam's ears long the way it is

| Sam got his new do today. I think he looks so cute. I told the groomer to do what she thought looked best. The fist pic is his before and the last two are after.
