| I do my own grooming. I started brushing when their hair got furry(about 6 wks old). I think it's about the same time I started to bath them(only when they got really dirty). Now I bath, cut nail, and trim about 2-4 times a month. I brush their hair out every other day. Especially the one I have in full coat. The ones I have in short coat are easier to take care of and do not have to be groomed as often. |

| Is it okay to bath them more than that. I bath her probably once a week. She seems to get dirty easily. |

| I think most people do bathe their yorkies weekly, and that is okay, me personally just don;t like more than that, i consider excessive and only to be done in real extreme necesity. I donnou at what age my breeder started grooming Mojo, but i recomend to start brushing the puppies while they are still young so they can get used to it. |

| I've had bathed my yorkie more than 2-4 times in a month before, especially the one with the full coat. It usually takes about 1 week to look oilly. It was suggested to me that I don't bath him that much. However, I think if you bath your dog as often as once a week you should find a good conditioner to add natural oil back into her hair. |
