Senior Yorkie Talker | Growing back long coat I had Bentley cut into a puppy cut because I felt like he had a lot of split ends due to my lack of knowledge in the beginning. I think he is adorable in a puppy cut but I love the long coat look. Id like to start growing it back out but I'm not sure how to go about doing this. What should I trim and how often should I trim? Id like to start doing it myself. I know his ears need to be trimmed but when growing a long coat what else should be trimmed? And will the layers from the puppy cut look strange as it grows out? I'm still learning all this. I really would like to groom him myself but of course I'm a little hesitant bc I don't want to mess up. How should I keep him still while I groom him? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Also I forgot to ask, when doing the topknot, what's the best way to do it to make it look even and to keep from pulling his hair? How do you do two top knots? Like pig tails. Sorry for all the questions. Thanks again. |

| If you want a long coat, the only trimming you need to do are ear tips, paws, and sanitary trim (around the anus and pee string). About once a month or more, snip the very ends of all hair to avoid split ends. Just like a puppy, any Yorkie growing hair will go through some awkward stages. For topknots and tips for training your pup to sit still, there are many threads in the grooming section. Check out my thread there on Maximo's topknot flopping forward.

| I gave my boy Timba the puppy cut once and he hated it cause he was so used to the long hair.... so I just let it grow out on its own.. just cleaned the hair out from the inside of his ears.. I trimmed his peepee and anus and cut his under the paws hair so he wouldnt slip all over the floor.. now his coat is growing in so nice.. I just trim it a little bit to even it out... he likes his long coat better... he was so unhappy when he got the puppy cut.. never again...
