How fast does a Yorkie's hair grow? I trim Wiggy's facial hair about every 4-6 weeks to keep it out of his eyes. I'm wondering if all his coat grows equally as fast? Also, what is the best type of brush to use to avoid breakage? |
I think Tias grows really fast. I trim her myself she is 10 mths old. Her top knot hair grows the fastest . On average she gets cut once a month ,top knot sooner. In fact I trimmed her all over yesterday and she has such pretty colours coming through., they look like highlights lol.I use a comb or brush on her daily. :D |
They have such beautiful coats and colors, don't they? I just love them so much! |
Rule of thumb is hair grows the fastest when we want it to grow the slowest. :D I started letting Joey's hair, on the bridge of his nose, grow out to reach his topknot last May, it will go in a band if I put the band really really low; it's taking forever to grow, but when I was trimming it, once a month was needed. Pin brushes are best for dogs with long hair, and one of our members sells a very nice Madan Pin brush. You want something that doesn't scratch the dogs skin, yet has no balls at the tips that break hair. |

Here's another picture that's about a month old again it's still close, and Petsilk Topknot gel makes it look like it's all in the topknot, but it's "knot." :D http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/alb...ictureid=49248 Believe me it will be a happy day, when it's all fits in there with no help from Petsilk. |

Thanks for the info. I just found this at my local supply store- has anyone used this? Is it the same as Petsilk Top Knot Gel? http://www.cherrybrook.com/images/ca...34E291148M.jpgZoom & More Views Email to a Friend Other Styles from Chris Christensen [LIST][*]Chris Christensen Christensen Chalks and Sprays[/LIST] Thick-N-Thicker Volumizing Gel 8oz jar by Chris Christensen Chris Christensen Description: Ultimate control for setting and styling!

That sounds pretty good, but I think it's more for building body and volume. With the petsilk topknot gel, you don't use on the whole topknot, just on the short hairs. It has the consistency of honey and sticks the hairs together, but when it dries it doesn't seem sticky. I put a dab on my finger and rub that on my palm before applying just a smidgen. Some people have recommended Vaseline, but I didn't like the way it looked. I tried other things, hair spays and gels, but nothing works like this, and more importantly it's safe, if some of the hair coated with the gel, gets on your dog's eye, it won't hurt it like human products will. |
I just today ordered the topknot gel from gofetch.;) |
I think you got the last one. I just tried to order and they are out of stock.:p Quote:
