OMGosh! I think Sophie looks darling! Her coat has grown quite a bit and looks really healthy! She reminds me so much of my Bailey in those shots.

my Samson has thin hair like your little girl. I have kept it short with a short teddy bear face. We started letting it grow out in Nov for the winter and he actually looks a lot like your girl. I think your girl is very cute! My other dog, Harley, has thick cotton hair and its a pain to take care of in comparison to Samson.

Oh so that's how my baby might look like

. I was worried about my baby hair because it's so thin compare to the others I had seen here. But seeing your beautiful furbaby pics just gave me a big smile on my face. Thanks for the pics

They do look like rats don't they (n i do mean it in the most delightful way)?

She is really beautiful! My Bella is only half yorkie and I've been trying to figure out what texture her hair is ever since I've had her. She started out fluffy, but as she has grown into an adult her hair has settled into being very fine, thin, and to put it mildly, quite flat.
I've enclosed a photo, I'm thinking this would be an example of very fine hair/fur? i'm sorta clueless, lol. In comparison, Rocco's hair is thick and wooly.

We let her hair ( i should really say "fur" instead of hair, as she is mixed and does shed ) to grow medium-length, trimming her every once in awhile. I do know what you mean about them looking like rats, lol but your baby has a beautiful coat regardless!

We were talking about this before! Of course it would cause pain on their skin, but it was funny to just imagine and pretend!

Just paste a yorkie head over this. Funny thing, I found this pic on google and it was from a YT thread!

OMG I am so doing that once my little puppy grows his hair out a bit more... what a great idea lol

My Chloe has hair almost exactly like your pup's. My biggest problem is that the hair on top of her head starts to separate and look a little oily a few days after her bath, but other than that I love her fur type. It's so easy to take care of and never tangles. I've decided (in my opinion only) that she looks best either pretty short - not shaved, but just a little longer than that - or her fur needs to be long. Anything in between just looks like a little orphan.

I've finally found a groomer that I like and she did a wonderful job on Chloe at our first visit. She just shaped everything up a little, trimmed Chloe's feet & under her tail, shaved her ears (I don't care for the long hair on the ears very much), and trimmed her face up beautifully. Chloe is at about the same length as Sophie right now and it just seems like she doesn't grow evenly or something!! But even just the little bit of shaping our groomer did was a huge help!

I WISH Sophie had the too-thick hair problem! :-)

That is the perfect description for how Sophie was looking!! Sometimes I'd look at her and think, "She looks like the 'before' shot of a dog who has been rescued and is in need of a loving home." lol

I think your Sophie looks beautiful I wouldn't change a thing about her. She is adorable

noisinka · 02-01-2010, 07:37 AM

I think she looks really cute!

We brought Sandy for a cut yesterday and it's a Westie Cut. I still prefer him having longer hair. Now I can't wait till his hair gets longer.
