| Puppy cut year round for several reasons but biggest being that it's just easier to maintain on a daily basis. For winter, if it gets chilly, I just put a sweater on them. |

| I had a Yorkie who died in 2012 at the age of 13. I kept him in a puppy cut year round but we were in Fl and GA most of the year. Gidget will get her last shots at 16 weeks on May 6. Think I'll get her groomed then with the puppy cut. I kept my Teddy's face sorta full and he was just adorable. Want to be able to put a bow in her top knot because she's going to be my little diva! |

| I keep Cody in a puppy cut all year. 1- I like the look.... 2- Much easier to maintain.... 3-I LOVE to mush him up, ya can't do that when they are in full coat. I LOVE the feel of his hair when it's short.

| Pip has longer hair in the winter, pup cut in summer. Caleb used to have long hair in winter but no longer. Now we keep him in puppy cut all year round due to his allergies.

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | One of my dogs has long hair year round. Her hair is straight and almost like human hair. The other one is kept in a puppy cut year round. His hair is cottony and somewhat curly. It easily tangles, and he hates to get brushed. I think it depends on the dog and your willingness to deal with the upkeep. Both ways are cute.

| We got a trim for ours when he was younger, and the groomer said to wait until 6 months for the full body cut to avoid stunting hair growth. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but that's what we are doing.

I decided that I wasn't very good at cutting, so I let him grow a full coat which he still has. Full coat by default.

| I haven't heard that about stunting hair growth. I intend to keep Gidget in a puppy cut with squared up face year round. I've got an appt to have her cut on May 11--she'll be 17 weeks. Is that too early to have her hair cut that short? |

| Cutting the hair at a young age does not stunt hair growth, if ya actually pulled alot of hair out from the roots or damaged the skin area, then maybe it's possible. Yorkie hair is alot like our hair, if the hair has issues then there's either an underlying issue (like health) or an outward one (matting, dryness, etc.). Granted I know grooming and cosmetology is different in alot of ways, but I would think that the hair follicles would essentially work in a similar manner, human or yorkie. If the hair was going to be stunted, it's gonna be stunted by other means, not from cutting the hair itself. But on the thread subject, lol I keep my girl's hair mostly short but in winter I'll let it grow out some. She get's hot fairly easy.
