Lion Cut-Hair Do or Don't? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Gracie2006 · 05-26-2007, 06:10 AM

I would have to vote "no" to a lion cut. This is what I asked my groomer to do for Gracie. It is a "medium" length puppy cut with a teddy bear face. The body hair is short enough that it does not tangle and is easy to groom, but long enough to still look like a Yorkie.

Well she's just too cute!

I don't have pictures to share, but I do have a story! For Thanksgiving two years ago, I had my husband take Lexi to the groomer. I told him before he left with Lexi to have them give her a "teddy bear" cut. He took her, picked her up, and called me to ask if I would like to go to dinner. Strange for him to ask during the middle of the week, but o.k. After dinner he asks if I would like to go shopping (this should have definitely been a clue that something was wrong). Nope, I just want to go home and see my Lexi. I asked how she looked and he said that they may have cut her hair a little shorter than what I wanted. We come home and I take one look at Lexi and just burst into tears. It was horrible! Everytime someone would call I would tell them how bad Lexi looked. Everytime I got on the phone my husband would get up and go outside. Finally, my daugher asked why I hadn't called the groomers and complained. I explained that they are two older ladies and I just didn't want to call when I was so mad, but that I was cooling down and was going to call. My husband tells me that he wants to talk to me. He begins with - "You know how bad my memory is getting. Well, I couldn't remember that you said teddy bear cut, so I told them to cut her like a lion. They asked to make sure that I said lion cut. I told them yes". It took MONTHS for Lexi's hair to grow out. I finally told the groomers the story. They just roared. They said they wondered when he said lion cut, but he stood firm that was the cut that I wanted. The same sweet ladies still groom Lexi and Cricket. Everytime my husband takes them in they ask "Lion cut?" Puppy cut it is and I must say they do a fantastic job!

Ginger got what I called a "yorkie-who" cut last fall, but it was because of her allergies...I couldn't deal with her hair anymore

. It's kinda like a lion cut...honestly, I love my girl, but even I thought this cut was a little strange

Your baby has the sweetest face.

I have mu dogs cut in a Schnauzer cut. I just ask my groomer to leave the hair a little longer on their head and skirt and cut the ears into a "butterfly" shape! They really do seem to feel a lot cooler and are a lot easier to keep clean and brush! Here is a picture it a liitle hard to see, but hopefully you can get the idea of what I am talking about. Picture is of Buster and Bandit (Pink Jacket). My bosses' babies!

LouisLove · 05-31-2007, 05:36 PM

hello! Tomorrow is the day it all happens. I am going for a westie cut. I have to take the pictures I posted up previously to the groomer to make sure she does what I wany. Oh and I am going to stay there and make sue nothing happends to my baby. It's our first time with this groomer. Can't wait to post the pictures!

LouisLove · 05-31-2007, 05:37 PM

your babies are soo cute! I went for a schanuzer cut before and did not like it, I think it was the groomer I used though.... rrrrr

rhiannon80 · 05-31-2007, 05:41 PM

Yes...thankfully I have found a wonderful groomer in my area and she gives us a discount, due to the fact that we are always there! Only $20.00 per dog plus and extra $5.00 when they are due for their frontline! I think the trick is finding a groomer you like! Hope all goes well with your babies hair cut, I'm sure it will be adorable! I remember Tommy's first hair cut, I stayed with him too!
