Leave their hair long or cut it? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

There's a chance I'll be going to Bonaire this december.
I'll be staying there for a month and a half.
Here the winter will be starting when we leave, and we'll come back to winter.
Bonaire has a tropical weather.
My questions is whether or not to cut the dogs' hair.
What is your advice?

Not sure what you'll be doing in Bonaire but if you leave the hair long, it'll be more maintenance? If you keep it short and worried about the cold, you can always put a sweater on them. I'm more for short hair... Especially b/c my two don't exactly appreciate me taking the time to brush them twice a day. LOL

I was wondering more for the heat..
Their hair isn't super long. Just between 3 and 4 inches..

Ah.. Zoey loves heat. She'll lay on top of the vent during winter time. Magnus on the other hand prefers the cooler weather. If you're more concerned about the heat, I say cut it. I usually get them cut to about 1/4" - 1/2" short. And like I said, if it seems chilly, I'll just put a sweater on them.
