Yorkies looks like little teddy bears...Can you keep them like that? Hello, I'm new to this site and to yorkies. My friend just bought a yorkie and I borrow him once in awhile to take him out. Ever since, I've been looking up yorkies and reading up on them. I see all the pictures of them when they're puppies and they look like little teddy bears. But, I haven't seen this look when they're adults. Can you achieve this teddy bear look by keeping their hair short? |
Hi Superyorkie! Yes, the answer is, you can! When you take the dog to the groomers, ask them for the "Puppy Cut"! and if the groomer is as experienced as you'd hoped (of course s/he will be!), they will know how to maintain your dog's do!! :) |
My Yorkie looks just like a teddy bear and she's 4 years old-- we keep her hair kind of short, so maybe that is the trick! |
Welcome!!! I love the Puppy Cut, too! I plan on keeping my Frankie's hair short, too. I think the long coats are beautiful, but I like Frankie with the scruffy look. It suits his personality. |
I couldn't agree more!!! Puppy Cut is the cutest way to go. They look much cleaner! Cinnamon gets a full shave every 2 months. Her hairstylist bills are more than mine!!! |

They are easier to keep brushed and keep their coat looking good. I always keep my yorkies hair short. |
I'm sure it has been said many, many, times, but I think that is one reason I love yorkies soooo much is because they look like little teddy bears. I've never heard anyone else describe them that way, though. I hoped by keeping mine in a puppy cut hopefully it would continue to resemble that way as it grows, of course, I'm sure it has a little to do with genetics. I've seen pictures of some as I have searched the net that there is no way they could no matter how they were groomed. Of course, I have also questioned if they are pure yorkies! :aimeeyork Anyway, I think they are all beautiful no matter what! ;) |
Puppy cut We keep Jackson in a puppy cut. He has that teddy bear look, but it is also because he has the "baby doll" face. The shorter muzzle gives them a "bear" appearance. :animal-sm |
Looks like monkey! Typically 1 month after Cinnamon's haircut...it grows out to such a point that she resembles a little fluffy minature monkey! I do keep her face hair pretty short... Has anyone else ever got this comment? |
Thanks for all the inputs. Do any of you guys have any adult pictures with the puppy cut look? Thanks. |
We keep Lucy's hair short although in this pic she looks in need of a cut, but she looks soooo much like a teddy!!! :) http://www.yorkietalk.com/gallery/sh...t/last7/page/1 |
Lucy is so gorgeous!! What size is she? |
teddy bear http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/att...achmentid=1814 Try this, my puppy is almost 8 months which is considered full grown I think |
not sure on the technical term, but she is kind of medium sized, in as much as I have met smaller and larger yorkies!! :D I love her sooo much!!! |
I love her cut!! She is so cute! |
Please take a look at Piper in the Photo Gallery. I just added the picture a few minutes ago so it should be near the top. He was 13 years old in the picture, and weighed 6 pounds. I loved how he looked cut like that! Now, a question for you all: I looked at puppies today- they just opened their eyes. The dad looks like the babydoll that I want, but the mother has a very long muzzle and sort of crossed eyes. I will have to choose my puppy at five weeks, since other buyers are waiting to choose after me. Is there any way to look at a puppy that young and tell if he will have the short muzzle like his daddy or the long one like his momma? Piper'smom |
Puppy Short Muzzle 1 Attachment(s) Jackson looked like this at 7 weeks.He has a very short muzzle. |
1 Attachment(s) At the groomers they mentioned a Teddy Bear cut which is very short hair on the body and longer on the face. A friend of mine sent me this pic. of his friends cutie who seems to have the teddy bear cut. I'd like to get that for my Honey next time he goes to the groomers. |
HoneysMom - That also looks a little bit like what they call a "Schnauzer cut," which is also a cute cut for Yorkies. I think the teddybear cut is a little rounder than the Schnauzer cut. Both look very neat and clean. Carol Jean |
You have to be careful when you ask for a puppy cut that they don't cut them too short though. |

(I'm not picky about the size of puppy I get, but I do like the shorter noses! :)) Oh, and...on topic...LOVE the puppy cuts! I was going to keep my doggie cut short, even before I found out that that was a comman thing to do! :p |
This Helps I LOVE this forum! You all ask all the questions that are floating in my mind that I want to know before I purchase a puppy. I also was wondering if it was possible to keep them with short hair year round or if they would be cold in the winter months... thanks for asking the question and for all the awesome feedback! I am still looking for a breeder on the east coast not too far away, but this forum helps with my research! |
I keep Daisy in a short cut year round and she does fine. But she is a larger Yorkie at 17 lbs. And she has a thick cottony hair. It is easy to maintain and when it's cold the selection you have for coats and sweaters is endless. Good luck in your search for a pup. |
I had Dooney in a "joey" cut for the summer and am currently growing out his hair but I'm not liking the way it looks right now.....so will be cutting his hair again....love Yorkie hair, so many ways to cut their hair....Dooney is a silky coat so he doesn't look good in a puppy cut. |
1 Attachment(s) Jilly and Piper have the puppy cut on their face. Jilly has long hair while piper has shorter hair. This is Jilly. Not a very good pic. But you get the idea. |
what's a "joey" cut??? Still learning all bout them yorkies... |
Its kind of like a modified schnauzer cut....hair on face and legs are kept long and body is shaved very close to skin.....a YT member had her Yorkie cut like this, his name was joey and the cut was very cute and got very popular on here, therefore called the "joey" cut. |
My Zoey has straight,silky thin hair. A puppy cut would not work on her. The hair texture is a major factor as to keeping the puppy look. Sigh! Wish she had a cotton coat. |
I see... :-) |
