Thank you! I know...I told them to save whatever they could without her looking too "funny!" And she came back looking like a lion! They even kept that little puff on the end of her tail!!!

I had to do the same thing with Maddie. Her hair didn't lay flat like Wesley's it just grew out away from her body. She was a little round fluff too. She would get matts down to her skin. I tried and tried to pick out the matts, but there were too many and they kept coming back.

So we had her shaved. I was shocked when I first saw her. After that, I would get her shaved about ever 8-10 weeks. Now she is 17 months and her hair is completely different. It lays flatter now. She hasn't had a cut for over 10 weeks and she doesn't have any matts right now. Her next grooming appt. is going to just be a bath. I'm going to try growing her hair out again. Hopefully it works....

Here is a picture of her soon after her first shave....

WOW! I am hoping this shave is a one time deal for Gemma!! As you have seen on my other 2, I really like the long coat
How old was Maddie when you first had to shave her?
Oh and her picture is cute too

You know what?? I LOVE the long coat, I really do - but I have to admit that I'm kinda liking her like this!! She looks tooooo darn cute! Everytime my husband or I walk into a room and see her, we laugh outloud!! So we have to see, but probably go long...

The pictures of all your yorkies in their shaved form are really so heart-warming... Truly, no matter how their coat or hair looks, groomed or ungroomed, shave or unshaved, long or short... these babies are so lovable, and adorable. They are gorgeous no matter what! Perhaps it is their eyes that make them what they are... lovable, adorable....

Sometimes you just gotta give up with bad matts and start over. They look so cute shaved and the hair will grow back in no time!!!!

Aww, she looks adorable!! Looks like a lion cut and it looks so cute on her!!

I had to shave my cocker spaniel short a few months ago. We were out taking a walk and she got a ton of burs stuck in her hair and they weren't coming out for anything!! I was shocked when I saw the end result because I was so use to her with her long curly ears but I got use to it and she still looked cute as ever.

I had to come back to get another look at her. She is sooo cute

LOL She looks so cute, I know those baby coat mats all too well, I had Pepper trimmed really short at around 4 months, he was matting terribly (not that short though), I bet you looked around the shop looking for your dog when your baby came out . I think you should remember about sunscreen until her hair grows back

aww she looks sorta like Kandie when i first attempted to shave her myself...how cute!

[ARCHIE]

She looks adorable and I bet she just loves herself. Really cool for her
for the summer months. It will grow back but in the meantime she
just looks adorable. You have a little bobble head Yorkie there.
I think they really love being short in the hot months. Buddy pants
terribly when we go for walks even cut short.

HA !! She looks like 'The Littlest Lion' and WAY TOO FREAKIN CUTE !!!

[chattiesmom]

She is adorable! You did a GREAT job with the cut!

AAAWWW!!!...She IS so darn cute! I probably would crack up too every time I looked at her, but it's because she is so unusual looking....

I know what you mean about the matting, my Jack has such a cottony coat that even when he just slept he would wake up matted...everyday there where new mats, I tried everything to prevent them, I HAD to throughly comb him EVERY day but they would still come...I didn't like to cut them out because it created a bald spot, the only solution I could find was to cut from the tip of the mat into it toward the body to slice the mat, them I used a slicker brush to help break it up...I don't know what happened but after he turned 1-1/2 it rarely mats now.....

HAHAHA, oh I think she looks so adorable......... I had to shave Trixie once after she found gum and got it all through her hair. It was such a mess, so I shaved all the hair off. Anyways, I'm almost thankful I did this because her hair came in so silky and for once would lay flat. I never thought Trixie would have a silky coat. She was always such a poofy ball of hair but I was definately wrong. I bet your going to love how your baby's hair grows back in. She is just beautiful.....
