suggestions for grooming style? 3 Attachment(s) Sophie is starting to look like a cross between a rat and a little old man! She has super fine hair and I'm having a really hard time finding a grooming style that might work for her. I see such gorgeous furbabies here on YT, but she'll just never have their full, fluffy coats to work with. Does anyone have any photos/suggestions for grooming styles for furbabies with fine hair? I've scoured the Internet, but all the photos I find are for grooming Yorkies with full coats. Any suggests/photos would be really appreciated... my baby can't continue looking like a sweet little rodent! :D |
I don't have any photos, but just wanted to say that she is so cute!! I have just the opposite. 2 of mine have REALLY thick hair that is sooo hard to keep tangle free. |
Probably not helpful but I just have to say that I think your baby is beautiful and I wouldn't change a thing. She is just in that awkward stage of growing out. |

She is darling! Are you planning to keep her in a full coat, or do you want a puppy cut? If you want a puppy cut, I'd suggest cutting her beard shorter, and generally following the shape of her face on the way up. I think wider whiskers = rounder face = more feminine look. For the rest of the body, you can cut the body to leave about an inch hanging, and then cut around the "elbows" and paws. You should also cut the hair around her anus very short, for obvious reasons. ;) This is how I cut Thor, anyway. I'm by no means an expert. You can also find a good groomer in your area, and see if they can give you a cut you like. There are also videos in the Grooming section on how to groom your yorkie. :) |
I can't add anything either. She is just a doll baby and reminds me of my Jack. I wouldn't change anything about her. :D |
Your Sophie is similar to my Sophie, and I'm trying to grow my Sophie's coat a little longer before I start trimming it. I'm not really going for a full coat but almost. We've got carpet and cloth furniture so I know that's not the best for wanting to grow a full coat due to the damage it can do to the hair, but I just try to keep her as clean and well groomed as I can. She's in the awkward scrappy stage right now, but I'm hoping it will get better. I use 4 different Chris Christensen products on her when I bathe her and the groomer only trims her ears, bum, and the bottoms of her feet. |
I wouldn't change a thing. She's a doll |
I think she is adorable too. I hope Missy looks that good when her coat grows out. I would be very happy. :) |

Oh she is so beautiful. My baby has a very fine coat to and in the rat look right now. She looks like she has eyebrows that stick out over her eyes and not long enough to put in a bow. I wouldn't change anything unless you just want a shorter look. She is gorgeous to me. I like her look.:D |
whatever the length, that is one beautiful, healthy, shiny coat.... gorgeous! |
1 Attachment(s) She is so cute! My Pixie has a very fine thin coat but when grown out it looks very pretty. I do keep her head hair short and spiked on top. |
my sophie was in that stage too and for some reason I loved it. its not long or short just in between. i have her groomed so that it doesn't look shaggy every 6 weeks. right now it keeps her warmer than a puppy cut and might I add your baby is so very pretty!!:) |
I wish someone would try dreadlocks - I want to see it on a yorkie! |
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:D They do look like rats don't they (n i do mean it in the most delightful way)? |
1 Attachment(s) 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!:) |

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! -C |

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. |
