I just saw this after I posted - the BEST trimmer I bought was a ladies personal trimmer - (1st pic) for like bikinni trimming ? Believe it or not - It's awesome for the eye and face area...IT only takes off small amounts and it's really hard to miss and chop - it feathers really nicely....The other 1/4" little trimmer I use for UNDER the eyes and the corners...

The ears and their little butts are just tipped and trimmed by the Wahl 1" trimmer - 3rd pic

and as far as the feet - they are REALLY easy to do - I use sizzors there.....you just follow the natural line and I always do around the pads...

All these are available at Sallys or Target under different brand names and under $20 each - the personal trimmer (1st pic) I couldn't live without !

You are sooo speaking chinese to me. I dont understand anything you said lol. Im trying to imagine it but I just cant. I wouldnt know where to cut, how much to cut, what angle to cut at...

Man this is gonna be tough. I need someone to physically come here and show me lol

lol...it's easy !! the ears get the top THIRD shaved - but yes - maybe find a new groomer after it grows in a bit - have a good cut ....and you can follow their lines after that or in between cuts -

That is ....if you can FIND a good groomer -

I think I said - I've been to 5.

I messed up on Cheri's face in the pic I posted but it was my first time then and as you do it - it gets easier.

Villette...thanks for all the great information and help.

I never even thought to use scissors for between the pads....just a tiny clipper....but the scissors would be better...

You do the best job on your girls...and I'm hopeful to be able to groom Sophie at home also...

Right now...I don't even really have enough for a top knot lol The hair on her back seems to be getting long though...lol

red98vett · 06-26-2005, 07:22 AM

You're welcome - I have NO grooming experience except reading and looking at yorkies ....but it really isn't as hard as people think -

Last year I wouldn't have attempted it - but after the butcher cuts my girls had more than once.... I decided I could do just as bad a job for free and found it isn't that hard

It's a great way to get them to learn to be still... and I've found they really enjoy me grooming them cause they get so much praise they eat it up.

I know both my girls HATED going to a stranger so they are pretty good when I do them now.

See this is why I love Yorkie Talk!!! I was about to ask the same question Heather! I just had a horrible experience with my EX groomer. Bella's hair is sooooo short now. I don't understand why she doesnt know what a puppy cut is!!!My baby was shaved and her hair is uneven!!

I even brought pictures for her to see what I wanted. I'm so upset, i burst into tears at the office and refused to pay. She told me I was overacting and that it would grow back. I cannot believe a person who works with animals all day doesnt understand how import our babies are to us. I spoke with my breeder and she told me to brush it a lot to stimulate the folicles to help it grow. She also said to use horse shampoo (I just bought mane and tail) and a thick, rich conditioner to help it grow faster.

HeatherHamptons · 06-26-2005, 01:43 PM

I did the same thing. I brought pictures and stressed over and over again EXACTLY how I wanted their hair..but did they listen??? NOOOOOOOOO

What if that person cut YOUR hair? Are they gonna say "it will grow back"? Isn't that a mean thing to say?

I dont understand these people. You would think they would know how to follow directions.

I have a question about the health extension supplements. I did a search and all I came up with was Life extension is this the same company?
