He is cute as can be!

One good thing, their hair grows quickly. It won't take long and he might like it for the warm weather.

I groom mine myself. I've heard so many horror stories of cuts etc. Maybe mine aren't perfect but they don't have to go throught he stress and we can take it slowly, with love and play time. Then I save $$ as well.

It is nice to save a little $$ on haircuts because upkeep on Yorkies really add up.

I think he looks cute. Maybe bit too short around the face... But still very cute! That's how short I cut my two so maybe that's why I like it? In fact, I gave them a haircut last night. LOL

You are right about it growing out fast. His body is already getting a little longer and I think he likes his haircut! For those of you who do it yourselves, do you use clippers or just scissors? Not sure I am brave enough to try this now, but maybe when he gets a little older.

I think most use both clippers and scissors. Clippers around the body and scissors for face and delicate areas. If you search for yorkie haircuts, you'll find a lot of great how to videos. Also, whenever I'm at petsmart, I found it helpful to watch the groomers to see how they handle cutting certain parts.

Your pup will probably get fussy and give you a hard time but you'll get used to it and learn how to handle him. I think it took me about 3-3:30 hrs when I first cut Magnus's hair... I'm getting better though and his cuts are looking more decent every time.

Besides, I prefer doing it myself at home b/c I know he won't be crated, waiting for his turn. Also for my own peace of mind that there won't be anything harmful done to him.

Here's a picture of his cut from yesterday! It's not great but he doesn't look like a mop.
