Grooming.....? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I've paid between $15 & $45 to get my Maltese groomed.. granted he's a little different than a Yorkie, but all of his groomings have been basic bath & clip stuff. I hated leaving him all day sitting in a crate at the groomers and I always questioned how well they treated him there so I groom him myself now. I bought a pair of nice quality clippers and scissors and they paid for themselves in just two uses and now I also will have my Yorkie to groom as well as my sister's Maltese.. so it's much more cost effective for us and we can control the look we want and not the look the groomer thinks we want.

Does anyone take them to a groomer that does a scissor cut on them? Or do they use clippers?

My girl is about 3.5 months. She is not through with her shots until week after next. I would like to trim her up. I cut everybody hair at my house so I ought to be able to do it. I have a pair of good scissors and clippers. The hair on her back is about 2 inches long. That doesn't bother me but the hair on her legs is what drives me crazy. She never looks groomed even though I do it every day.Can anyone give me a little advise on trimming her up? We are headed to the beach on Sunday and I would like to just trim her up before we leave.
