Beard cuts for summer

Thank you! Yes, I do all of their grooming at home.

Don't worry, your boy's hair will grow back. He has a very nice coat, and he is very handsome and can pull off the shorter cut.

Thank you! I much prefer the longer coat personally. I like mid length where its long but not down to the floor. The hair on Grim's body is really short. My vet even commented that it was a bit of a strange cut for a yorkie! I have the same concerns as the others about the beard getting wet. Really like the water bottle idea. I may try it when he grows out.

Do you have any suggestions on how to cut the hair on Grim's tail? It's really long compared to the hair on his body and I'd like to fix it myself. It's so long that you can see the tail "stump" through the hair. Honestly the last groomer did a horrible job. I plan to get him groomed again soon for a small trim and wash but the hair on his tail bothers me at the moment. I will YouTube it too to see if there are any videos on how to cut the hair on the tail.

I would let it grow if you are going to grow his body longer again. The tail tends to grow slower. You could trim it up a bit shorter, just make sure that you put your fingers between Grim's tail and the scissors to avoid any accidents.

Ok thanks for the tip! I'll just give it a little trim on the underside and let it grow in the hopes that his body fur catches up soon!
