Lovin' 2 Girls Donating Member | Grooming Hi All Opinions, please. Abbie has never been to a groomer, nor have I even attempted to trim her - as you can see from her avatar . I've heard so many grooming horror stories (botched cuts, cutting the dog, etc.) I can't seem to trust anyone. Thing is, I want to keep her in full coat, but want her to look neat, also. Well, except when she has bed head . Anyone else out there who does nothing but just daily brushing, and will she eventually even out? Thanks!

| I trim the butts and ears and let the rest go. On former yorkies I have given them puppy cuts myself. I just take the hair between my fingers and cut it finger depth all over. I like it better than the shorter clipper cuts. |

BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | I'm the same way, I wont take her to a groomer, I just dont trust anyone with my baby, I would have to be right there next to her the entire time, so I just do it myself. I trim her so her hair is not hanging on the floor, around her feet and bottom and pee area. I do take her to have her nails clipped but I hold her while they do it and so far I have never had a problem. |
