| shorter on face, longer on body? Here is a dumb yorkie-cut question! I love the long-haired typical yorkie cut, but I think that their little faces look so much cuter (just my personal taste!) with the shorter "puppy cut" look. I know lots of people do the hair shorter on the body, and then longer on the head and legs.... ...but does anyone do the opposite?! A little longer on the body than it actually is on the face?! Hope this makes sense to anyone!

| Yes I do this. I think the short face is cute and it helps with the clean up on him.lol I figure the long hair in the back is better for warmth. I did a cut on him this past summer in June and I cut in short in the back and kept the face somewhat long. He looked like a little lion. I would roar at him .I know I am foolish but he liked it.lol. I wish I would have gotten pictures of him. I will next time.

| Just did it! After his bath on friday, he had some tangles on the side of his face that I couldn't brush out (I used cowboy magic, and tresseme sp?) so I had to cut them, but I had to cut the rest of his face to make it even. To me he looks like a whole different yorkie! My friends were teasing saying he has a mullett I think it's OK. He's still my baby so he'll always be cute to me!

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Yes, this is how Stedman's hair is. The hair on his body is longer than the hair on his face. The hair on his body is not "long" by any means, but it IS longer than the hair on his face. I prefer the shorter hair on the face too (puppy cut) but not TOO short

| I LOVE Stedman!!!! I just think he's one of the most adorable guys around! I'm trying to work up the nerve to cut Kiki's hair on her face THAT short! Right now she just sorta has the round "lion's mane" thing going on, sorta like a Westie....and I think that's cute too! I know this will REALLY be twisting your arm , but...could you post some full-body shots of Stedman for us?!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Yeah, I love Stedman's cut too, such a great face, might as well show it off. I'm keeping Joey's head and face short for now anyway, but I just love that little part down their backs when they have longer hair. Had to keep trimming top of the head cause he had black tips and silver roots, but I would like to have a small topknot. Just not to sure about the beards yet, makes him look too old. Nancy |

| Yeah, I'm talking a medium length...I do like to be able to do a topknot, but for some reason I just don't like it when the beards make their faces look "long". I trim theirs ALL the time....it seems like it grows so fast!!

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Awww thank you JiggityJig and Nancy1999 Stedman too got the little "lions face" when he was about 5 months old (his hair grows SUPER fast!) so I trimmed his face up right away because on HIM, it just looked too "scraggly" Here are some full body shot pictures - and I just took these yesterday so they are super recent Also, just for you, Nancy - I included a picture of his "Yorkie part" (see post below this one) There is also one picture of his face/chest...and I added that so that you guys could see how short I keep the hair trimmed on his chest. I can not STAND when it gets long because he wears clothes 99% of the time, and when that hair starts to get too long, it always sticks out of the collar of his shir - and it drives me CRAZY

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Oh, by the way - I forgot to add that in the pictures I posted above, his tail (hair) is all trimmed up Normally it is like this (see pictures below) - but lately, since he has been wearing the 4-legged outfits almost every single day since it's been so cold, I trimmed his little butt/tail because the hair was sticking out the back of his clothes looking all wacky, LOL - so the hair on his little booty/tail is short - for now anyway I can't stand my baby's hair looking sloppy - and that hair back there, sticking out everywhere when he had his clothes on was driving me crazy So he had a little trim Pictures 1 & 2 below show how his tail WAS...umm, lets see - LAST WEEK! lol

| I am thinking about doing the opposite. Leaving the hair on the face long having the body cut short and having the legs longer

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Thanks for all the great pictures; I'm saving them for future haircutting attempts. I don't what it is about that little part down their backs, I just love it. Just looked in my haircut folder 90% are pictures of Stedman. Love his little outfits, but his natural coat is so darned beautiful. Your breeder did a great job! Nancy |
