How long is your Yorkie's hair? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

chimicole · 04-02-2008, 01:11 AM

I put down that I liked the look of the long hair, but it's too hard....
I can't say if I know this to be true, but we also have a Shih Tzu, and I couldn't keep up with him! LOL!

Jolie' has long hair...but since having her puppies she lost alot of it but it seems to be growing back. One of our shis-tzu's has long hair and the other has short hair only because she got into something and couldn't get it all out. It is growing back also...I groom all of them. I love brushing and putting bows in their hair.

I love all the long haired yorkies on YT...but Bella just doesnt have a thick silky coat

Amanda7 · 04-02-2008, 08:28 PM

I keep both of mine 'longish', but manageable. Except around their faces. This I keep trimmed. They seem to put their whole face in the water when they drink, and then drip all over the floor. I used to follow them around with a towel after they drank! (How crazy am I???). lol

I like the long hair, but to me, puppy cuts keep them puppies forever.

And I can't believe no one picked the last option yet!

I love the short look/puppy cut and I keep mine somewhat short.

Puppy Cut! Puppy Cut!! Puppy Cut!!!

Sadie's Mom · 06-28-2008, 08:38 AM

I selected the "Short hair" answer, but it's not that I prefer that. I prefer long, but Sadie looks better with short & it just works best for us because of the heat.

Leo is too little to know yet but I do ike the shorter looks

vegasrush · 06-28-2008, 10:18 AM

It is way tooooo "HOT" here to keep his hair long. I think they look so cute with a puppy cut. I take him in once a month for a trim and bath him once a week. One of these days I will learn how to do it myself.

Winston has a long full coat...but he will not wear a top knot for more then 10 seconds. He is far from standard...but I think he's beautiful.

michiko · 06-29-2008, 11:28 AM

I would say.. my Haruka's hair is not short.. or long.. medium length

mistyinca · 06-29-2008, 11:33 AM

Well, I chose the first choice, but Chloe's hair never has, (and probably never will) grow to the length of the breed standard. I'd love it, but it just stays a tad longer than her tummy.

Tiggerwit · 07-01-2008, 05:58 PM

I just like the puppy cut look the best.

fufufashions · 07-01-2008, 06:07 PM

All my girls have the puppy cut. With 4, i couldn't manage it any other way. I think they look like puppies and it sure makes it easy for them to wear fufu's. No tangles!! Every morning, they get their faces washed and top knots fixed and off they go!!
