Awww.. She still looks cute! Just means she just gets to wear a lot of cute clothes!

TeddyandTiffy · 06-05-2006, 04:35 AM

I took Teddy last Nov to get his 1st hair cut and he turned out just like U'res so now I do it myself! At least this way I know he'll get what I want him to! I trim mine for the summer too but I'm like U I don't like them to short. I mean neither one of mine don't have the long floor length coats...But I like them shorter but not skinned. Trust me it will grow out fast! I need to trim Teddy again and I just trimmed him a few months ago. I know it's hard when U take them to the groomer and tell them not to cut all their hair off but give them a puppy cut and U're expecting U're baby to be all cute and then U go to pick them up and they have all this hair on their heads and none on their body...It really is a big shock to us who is expecting another look. Hugs, Lee

It can pretty scary to go into a groomer and then come out with a cut that you are unhappy about . . . I guess that is why I hesitate to take Tiger to one . . . It looks like they shaved him down pretty good . . .good thin hair does grow back . . . it won't be for long!

I wish every Yorkie owner could be as lucky as we are. The groomer that we took Bailey to (only once so far, for a very light trim) has 5 Yorkies of her own and has pictures of them at the reception desk. She KNOWS how to do what you're asking for.

Anyone in Oklahoma City not happy with your current groomer, PM me - I'll direct you to Vanessa.

Your baby is really adorable!!! But you're right it does look kind of unbalanced. When I give Mitzi her summer cut I leave the hair on her legs longer and cut the face shorter. This way she looks more like a Schnauzer.

rrosenberry · 06-05-2006, 05:51 AM

I experienced that once,, I was shocked too, but it was much cooler for him and I actually think I will do it this summer cause he gets so hot.
She is still adorable, it is just a shock to you,and takes some getting used to, I kept laughing at Bailey cause it made him look so skinny, it was funny.

LuvMySissy · 06-05-2006, 06:27 AM

Please let Brownie know she is still one gorgeous pup. Her hair will grow back and will eventually be the puppy cut you wanted for summer.

ldenise · 06-05-2006, 06:39 AM

doesn't sound like it was a very good experience for her. I am willing to be the clippers was not introduced slowly. She will grow out quickly and you will love the brushing. Pamper her. She still looks like a beauty.

icy · 06-05-2006, 07:14 AM

Thanks to all and words of niceness and encouragement. I'm giving her lots of hugs and kisses and this seems to help. I'm going to get her some nice summer dresses to wear and hopefully post some pics soon!!!

mustangbee · 06-05-2006, 07:19 AM

I think she looks great.
That's the summer cut, the puppy cut is different.
Princess gets the summer cut every summer because
of the heat. She's in the pool a lot, so I can dry her off really
fast too. I'm sure her coat will grow back a lot faster than you think.
But again, she looks great!

Julez · 06-05-2006, 07:55 AM

I completely sympathize. The same thing happened to Dolce a few weeks ago. She had a couple of big matts, and the groomer said she had to be shaved. It just broke my heart when I saw her, because her hair was so long and pretty. I think she looks like a bobble head now, with the hair on her head being so much longer, her head seems enormous. I'm starting to get used to it, but I put a dress on her when I take her out so she won't look so funny. It really does help. She really likes it because she's getting a break from brushing. So, there is an upside, plus it's cooler for the summer.

doggrooming · 06-05-2006, 09:27 AM

I am so sorry. Did they do anything to make it better in any way? That is not a lion cut. I am a dog groomer and do lion clips on my tuz all the time. If you were my customer I would have made sure to ask you questions to make sure I got it right. If you were unhappy I wouldn't have made you pay. I am so sorry there are some groomers out there that don't care. I am sure it will grow back soon.

kitty · 06-05-2006, 09:35 AM

This is the clip I gave my maltese. She is in a modified lion clip. What they did to your baby was a complete body shave and left the head. I would've been very upset if someone would've done that to my baby! I wouldn't have paid them for butchering my dog either!

hooliacasa · 06-05-2006, 11:22 AM

Sounds to me like if she is hiding under furniture she might have had a bad experience at the groomers, did they hurt her maybe? Not beat her, but maybe were too rough with her? Cuz I don't think she'd know the difference in her hairstyle. My Maxx was hurt by a groomer when he was real little and that is why I groom all my yorkies (I have 3) myself. But she is so cute, even with the bad hair do!
