I absolutely loooove this cut and the lady was so nice. He is a bit tired, so I couldn't get him standing he would just flop on the floor, poor baby. Off we got to our short vacation! tell us what you all think!

he looks sooooooooooooo good!!!!! I really like that for him! glad you decided on the westie cut

lilbumbleybees · 06-02-2007, 08:52 PM

well, if you ask for a lion cut on a yorkie...it might look quite strange. yorkies' hir does not poof out around the neck like it should on a lion cut. typical dogs that get a lion cut are pomerians, chows, etc. dogs with hair that sticks straight out. Yorkies have hair that falls. You'd be best to just go witha super cute puppy cut if you're wanting a good short cut with a cute rounded head.

just saw the pictures. haha he looks adorable. glad they didn't do a lion cut! it would have looked very strange!

I saw a lady walking her dog that had a lion cut and it looked really good. Plus, with the weather warming up I worry about him because he has a darker coat and it would make it easier to spot fleas. I need help to decide, Maybe you can post pictures of the best summer cut for me, just to ease my mind. I thank you all for you help in advance for your help and suggestions.

Here's an example on a cat what I want done to my Louis, but I want a little bit more hair left on his body. Tell me what you think

I think it is all up to you and what you want to do. The lion cut I actually performed on my cousin's Yorkie and I will tell you what, she is so freakin cute lol. Well we actually left hair on her feet the top of her head and she look adorable. It gives them a Chinese crested look so if your not fond of that type of dog dont do it but otherwise it makes maintaining during flea season easy and bathing quicker and easier. I will see if I have a pic of her I can put on here too.

I'm not so wild about the lion cuts on Yorkies. I think it makes the body look disproportionately small compared to the head and legs. But that's just my opinion.

hugz4all4 · 11-02-2010, 10:57 AM

I keep my sheltie in a lion cut, year round because his coat is so much more managable that way.... but he has the head shape and the long bushy tail so he doesnt look "utterly ridicoulous". However I wouldnt keep Tucker in a cut like that because his face is smaller and he doesnt have the tail. SO he is kept in a short body cut and longer hair on his face, similar to some of the pics that were already posted.

Every summer I always do a lion cut on Emmett. It is not hard to do on my own.
