| Long Hair Okay...so I've been reading around this site quite a bit, and I notice that everyone wants their Yorkie's hair to be long. My question is, if it's long, doesn't the hair get dirty on the back side? I mean...my puppy is only 5 months old...and last night at 2 am...I had to get up with my husband because she was dragging her bum all across our living room area rug (leaving lovely brown streaks behind). I had to cut some hairs around her bum area because poo was getting stuck and crusting up. Eeewwww..... How do you guys prevent this if they have long hair? |

| My first yorkies hair swept the floor and someday so will Lexi's. However, I do keep her bottum shaved, her tummy, the tips of her ears, and her paw pads...

| Sometimes we mommies have to clean our babies bottoms! Just keep her little bootie trimmed and her feet and ears! Last edited by eensor; 04-26-2005 at 09:59 AM. |

| I keep Tia's butt shaved and also use baby wipes every time she goes potty or poo. That seems to help with the messes, although there have been a few little hangers!

| I'm a total bum-looker! I check my dogs' bums everytime I even smell poop! They hate me, but I've got to do what I've got to do!! I wipe them down with a baby wipe right after they've gone & this usually does the trick... |

| Yep, it's all part of the maintenance like brushing their teeth or giving them a bath. They have to be kept trimmed back there whether their hair is long or short. |

| I trim Ambers hair by her bum to. But sometimes it still happens there will be a dangler stuck in her hair. I turn on the fawcett and stick her behind in the water and wash her back with shampoo and conditioner. Then out comes the sissors (sp) for more trimming. |
