In clothes it doesn't look like she has short body hair but the hair does does not get matted up.

Your dog is so adorable. I really love her cut. For some reason, she really looks like a girl!

Thanks Brutus'mama and Janie Doyle! When I trim Chewy, I do it dry after a bath. I first do the body. I put some hair between forefinger and middle finger, then turn my hand upright, with the pinky on his body and cut right above the forefinger (I know I am making this sound more complicated than it is!). That leaves about 2 1/2 inches. I curve the body hair into to leg hair. Around the face, I comb straight out to the side and cut even with his outer ear. I use some curved scissors that I bought from Petedge, they have a blue handle, I think that the curve in the scissors is nice because you don't have such straight cut lines. Hope this helps!

You do a really great job...

I tried to cut my babies once and that is the picture on my avatar but they looked like funny triangle faced dogs, lol...

I agree, and the face is not so hard to groom. It is harder to keep the body smooth when they are wearing clothes and the hair mats up. Nobody can see whats under the clothes, thats why I cut the body down too. I like my Trini & Coco's faces shorter because they do not get too wet and dirty from their water. But I guess that dries anyway.

< confusing

They are all beautiful at any length.

Awwwww......

Thank you so much! She's super girly!!! and she's my baby

These Yorkies are simply the best and I don't know what I would do without her!!! They give pure, unconditional love...

I want to see pictures of my Paris!!!

Little Bit · 01-19-2007, 02:36 PM

Can't wait to see the new doo!!!

I didn't get on here fast enough, but I just did my Travers hair at Christmastime. He had really long hair and I left the face totally long, but cut the body about 2 inches. He still looks cute, but is much easier to comb, (which he hates)!

Kathryn_V · 01-19-2007, 03:00 PM

ok.... She is still at the groomers! I'm sick to my stomach!!!! I could just die!!! I seriously went over and over and over my instructions with the groomer. And I ever asked that they NOT tip her ears... I do that, and I gave her a bath, cause I don't want cheap shampoo used on her. So they agreeded not to give her another bath... And i seriously parted her hair to show where I wanted them to STOP cutting! lol

I held the hair to show the length, then drew a picture! lol I left no stone unturned...

I said to leave the tail long... I can always cut it if I want to. And her face long.. I can cut that as well as I'd like... But her body and leggs should be about an inch long....

Yikes!!!!!

My husband has to come with me or I may hit the floor!!!! I don't know what to expect when I come in!!!!! I made her run a comb through her in front of me to confirm that there were NO tangles... so I had better not see a shaved dog when I get there or I'll have someones you know what!

Pray for me guys!!! Pray that she looks amazing!!! I have always done my own grooming! This is huge for me!!!! I really hope everything turns out ok!

Sophie'smom · 01-19-2007, 05:59 PM

I can't wait to see pics. I know how scary this is. When I first cut Sophie's I was a nervous wreck but now I love it.

JESSY_RN2B · 01-19-2007, 05:59 PM

Is she all done?

Kathryn_V · 01-19-2007, 06:34 PM

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

My camera battery is DEAD!

But the upside is..... She looks great!

I'll take pictures first thing in the am! I Promise!!!

They left her body about 2 and a half inches long... I asked for an inch... but they were so scared to CUT! They said she was Sooooo pretty!

I felt bad asking them to do it! lol

But you can always cut more off... you cant put it back on! And she looks good! I'll take her down shorter in the summer maybe??? Maybe not! lol
