Pat your so funny! Sounds like me! To mush work for us old ladies! Ha V she'll be great looking in any cut! lily

It's always a pleasure to look at Cheri's and Chanel's pictures. No sugar coating or anything but even my husband agreed with me when I wished for my Pickles to have beautiful hair like your girls.

You can tell they're really well taken care of. You're doing a wonderful job with them.

Awwww! I'm sure she'll look heavenly after the trim.

Villette your girls would be beautiful bald! Besides with shorter hair they can really get into that hose, spy on the neighbors through the bushes without getting their hair caught, and not lose their treats in their hair (which is the funniest thing I've heard all day) and you won't have to groom then a zillion times a day (I'm assuming haha)! Maybe you could do what people do when they cut their hair short, cut a little at a time and see what you think and what she thinks and conitnue to go shorter if you want to.

You have very beautiful yorkies!

Villette, Chanel has better hair than me and most people I know! Don't take off more that a couple of inches pleeesssseee!

I'm going through the same dilema....to cut or not to cut! Even though I brush Saffie practically everyday, she's been getting more & more matted & I can't seem to get them out. It's because she goes in the "grownup" & the "kiddie" pools everyday. I know I should brush & blowdry her afterwards but it's just too darn hot. She has a grooming appointment Friday & I'm scared to have the groomer see all her mats. Her groomer is fantastic & just loves Saff & her longer hair & always compliments me on keeping up with her brushing. She's going to think I haven't brushed Saffie since her last appointment 4 weeks ago!

I think I'll go with shorter hair in summer & the rest of the year let it grow. I am going to keep her top knot though. Do you think that'll look funny with a puppy cut

Looks like you are going to learn how to wrap hair, Villette. This way the girls stay all pretty, and can have a good time too.

I had Chanel short before - I've never cut her hair on her head and it looked cute that way - kind of a Sampson the Lion look lol !!

So I'd say - keep the topknot !

Stitches - I've never wrapped hair and wouldn't know where to begin ! I may just thin and trim her myself - or take her in but haven't decided - I know before I go on my trip I'll NEED to because my husband is already saying he can't do the bows ! can you imagine him trying to brush them ? NOT !

LvMyYorki · 07-04-2005, 06:44 PM

Villette- I just went through the "to cut or not to cut" dilemna with Tino and I CUT!!! Even though his coat looked so pretty and I loved it.. I honestly did it for him.... everytime I took them for a walk he would be panting like crazy. I knew he was sooo hot. I had the groomer shave his body and left his legs and his face. When he's wearing his t-shirts now you can't even tell he isnt in a full coat and I know he's sooo much cooler and happier!

txshopper73 · 07-04-2005, 09:10 PM

Oh Villette! Don't do it!

I feel like crying now...but the story is funny! But seriously, it takes so long to get a yorkie's hair long and beautiful. Sometimes, years! And only a few minutes to cut it all off! Think long and hard about this one!

I AM Kimberly - I will NOT cut her way down - she's had that, and it ruined her coat - a groomer went nuts when she was just 1-1/2 - so no ...I'm not going too short - just enough so she can find her treats without me searching in her face for them !

Brutus'mama · 07-05-2005, 06:54 AM

She'll still be so adorable! I can understand though I'm going to try and grow Brutus' hair except the topknot but I don't know how long it will last!
