Senior Yorkie Talker | should I cut honeys hair So my baby girl is almost a yr old and her hair is getting long. It doesn't matt much but sometimes it tangles. I brush her 2-3× a day. Should I let her hair grow out for the winter or cut it. I attached a picture hopefully you guys can see (I cropped it so darn much)

| Sense dogs have hair and not fur and no undercoat there hair might help keep them a little warm but isn't going to help a whole lot. You probably will have to get a jacket or few sweaters so the hair length is up to you.

Senior Yorkie Talker | I dress her only on occasion because she gets matted and it's a pain to brush her, she looks at me like mommy what the hell are you doing to me lol. I've read a little about wrapping but I'll go back and do my research thanks hun

| If she dosent like the brushing and stuff you may want to try a shorter cut. It will always grow back if you hate it.

Senior Yorkie Talker | She doesn't seem to mind as long as it isn't really tangled and that usually happens when I get her dressed up. I like the puppy cut but I'm scared the groomers will just shave her hair all off. I wanted to try my hand at grooming but I'm unsure of the end result. Thanks again your Callie is such a doll

| I just love the traditional long haired yorkie. I vote, if she grows good coat, to let it grow! My last yorkie, Chelsea, grew coat very quickly. I had to trim it to keep it off the floor. ZoE is the opposite. While her coat is very silky and doesn't tangle much, it is extremely slow growing and breaks off fairly easily. After three years of trying to grow a full coat, and only ever getting to the messy middle length stage, I gave up and shaved her! It happens to suit her well as she's a well-toned pup and it shows off her fit bod. She also looks better in clothes as she no longer has stringy hair hanging down under a cute outfit. But I still look longingly at a shiny floor length coat.

| I do get mine groomed in the winter but not as often as the summer months and it allows me to experience a short coat in the summer and longer coat in the winter. Its all good in the summer its short coat and naked. In the winter its longer coat and outfits and topknots. You get the best of both worlds

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I love the long coat but it is your preference. If you want a puppy cut bring pictures with you of exactly what you want. So that the groomer knows. Also ask around to see how the groomer is

Senior Yorkie Talker | It's not many groomers where I live and I'm scared of petsmart I think I'll just give a sanitary trim and leave her long for now
