It is a tad bit too much tho, I can feel how heavy it is esp when I am giving him a bath and the water on the ears weighs his ears down haha! With the 2nd pic I also love his face, but I don’t like how it is so “ clean” looking. I love the messy look but I also love having long hair on his face. I think he looks like such a yorkie! LoL In the 2nd pic he wasn’t brushed LoL he just got done rolling in the warm laundry!

Hmp I don’t know what to do about these ears!!

Actually his ears look pretty good in the second pic in my opinion.

Here is a picture of my Teddy with his ears tipped. I love the way my groomer tips ears....the hair is shaved only on the top third and nicely shaped down the ear. Note that all of the hair is not cut along the entire ear:

I have never seen a picture of your Teddy. What a cutie! Very nice job on the ears. I need to work harder on ears, getting them trimmed right to the edge of the flap. I agree, only the top 3rd, otherwise they look like bat wings, lol.

hahaha....yep they can look funny

Thanks....Teddy is a cutie. Actually you may have seen him in the Halloween contest a couple of years ago. He was the circus yorkie...he was in a clown costume doing a handstand.

I prefer them tipped and clean looking. The last groomer left too much on his ears for my liking... like around the sides. I can't decide if I like them with more hair or totally clean.

Picture #1 = "clean" ears
Picture #2 = left too much hair, for my liking, lol.

Both pictures were right after he was groomed.

Then one groomer tipped WAY too far down and his ears looked HUGE... I just can't decide how to do Jackson's ears... haha they are so big either way! hehe

Great pictures. Have the groomer leave hair at the base of the ear, where it meets the skull. If it is cut too short where the ear meets the head, that is what makes Yorkie ears look huge. Only the top third, near the tip of the triangle, should be trimmed close to the edge. Also, shave the inside of the flap. That is always hard for me on Max because he hates the buzzing of the clipper the closer I get to the ear hole.

Thank you, my groomer is really good!!

Question: When you are growing the hair out do you tip the ears like Peanut in the 2nd pic?

Peanut's looking very handsome!

Here are some pics of Pippi....she did not want to put her ears up today. haha

I will look to see if I have better ones, but you can see that just the tip is shaved and her hair falls around her ears.
