Preparing for Haircut Week 3 Attachment(s) I just have to do it. Deuce needs a haircut. His hair is just getting toO long to manage without tying it up so he doesn't get it messy. The cut will probably take me all week. I usually do a little each day so I'll post the progress on here. I'm not sure what I want to leave though. So this will take some time as I create. Today was the bath. He looks sooooo great and smells wonderful - Yorkie Splash and Shine always does the trick. Tomorrow I'm targeting his torso. I just have to trim the hair on his body so he doesn't pee all over it when he lifts his leg. I'm not sure how to taper the body to the front and hind legs. I also am not sure what to do with the hair on his chest. It's so long. I don't want to shave him all over so I need to do some creative scissor work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Let's see where this goes. Wish us luck!!!!! |
He's beautiful! I'll be watching to see how you do this as I've never groomed a dog before and I really want to learn how to groom Princess Sophie! Good luck!! |
He is so cute! Good luck with his haircut:D |
Good luck with the cut! Can't wait to see pics :) |
I am in shock! |
He has such beautiful hair! Have you found a picture of a cut you like so that you have a goal in mind before you begin? |
He is such a handsome guy |

Teeka just got a hair cut yesterday. Her hair wasn't long like his....I used a scissors all over and layered it on her back and legs. I need to blend the legs yet, but I left a pony tail on top. It is not super short, but short enough for summer. It makes her look a little more filled out! Yah! I really like it on her....kind of like when she was a puppy! |
Im watching closely... :-) Alice had a bad experience at the groomer last time (she came home and was limping horribly for two days) ..they say "nothing happened" but i figure we are prob just better off if I can start doing more of it myself... her hair isnt as long as your boys but am excited to see how he turns out.. and think i will rummage about in the archives for tips etc.. :-) |

The first picture is before and the other 2 are after her haircut. I left the length about 2 1/2 in on her back and shorter on her legs. Her pony is about the same length. I was trying to load photos but it keeps telling me there is an internet server error! Any ideas? I tried 3 times! |
Ok so we did our first phase of the haircut today. Took the grooming table out on the deck and went to work. I scissor trimmed his torso. Actually that's all I really want to accomplish right now. We did shave some of the privacy area and the upper third of his ears. I also rounded out his paws a bit and that was all for today. Hubby wants me to use the clippers with an adapter to shave his body so it looks shaggy but ughhhhhhhh I love his coat sooo much. We'll see how I feel tomorrow. Maybe I'll go for the shave in June when it's warmer. Here's the pic so far. Tail is down - he's had enough. |

Stunning coat. Amazing job!!!!!!!!! Wish I could do this. |
Deuce looks great & you did an amazing job! |
Please STOP!!! (JK, lol) Looking good! |
I'm just going to trim a little on his head. Then I'm done for now. Thank goodness the weather is going back down to the 60's because with it in the 90's I was seriously considering a little shaving on his body. (I told you that hubby wants to shave him down to about an inch and a half.) I told him I'm waiting until the weather is warmer. I have to ease into this. I cut him down last June and his coat grew back by Christmas. I always wonder what color it will be each time I do this. It's interesting. Thanks for all the nice comments. Deuce says "Thanks" :thumbs up too!! |
I love it, great job |
Namor- my goodness! That is one beautiful yorkie. His coat is lovely. What kind of harness do you have? I have been looking for one like that. Thanks Kera |

I did the Summer Cut!!!!!! 3 Attachment(s) Ok I did it. I gave Deuce his summer cut. At first I left his head too long and he looked like a "Bobble Head" but trimmed that and he's looking good. Gave him a bath and will take formal pics tomorrow. He's acting a bit frisky with his short cut. Kinda like a new man!!!! Check him out! I think he likes it. |
Wonderful job! I'm considering cutting down my girls for the summer....I love the long coat, but it will be cooler for them if I do decide to cut them down. Orion I am definitely cutting down...he never looks neat like the girls do....always looks like he has no momma! LOL! |
