I prefer to keep their hair short because it is easier to maintain. However, when its colder outside I tend to let it grow for a little extra warmth. My doggies look the cutest after a nice short- do.

I love to see the one's with long, beautiful hair! I groom my own and I usually seem to try something a little different every time! Right now I have his hair shorter on top, but he still has a medium length "skirt". Lets just say since its winter...we have a lot of sweaters and coats! I am new to this site and I'm not sure if my pics loaded! I have a couple questions I wanted to ask....and I can't figure out where/how to add them! I love Yorkie's, I had a female (Bella) who was a year old and she was hit by a truck about 4 months ago

. Shortly after her death I got a male yorkie...is it ok to put bows in his hair?!

If you go under User CP, it has an option that says "pictures/ albums" you should be able to load pics through there. There are size restrictions. so this may be another reason why your pics may not load.

And I totally think that its ok for male yorkies to wear bows. I've seen some really cute blue ones!

We have kept Nicco short because his coat is cottony. But I just ordered some PEK conditioner, which is supposed to work miracles and I plan to grow it out to a more in between length. Can't wait to try this conditioner!

Actually it varies as to the time of year...

During the Summer months, it gets VERY hot and Humid here,
and I have both of mine trimmed to a #7 body, but leave their
Tail very long, and moderate length to Facial Hair.

Final cuts are in August, and I let them grow out till April or May.

I keep Daisy's hair in a long "do".

I've learned (through trial & error) to cut Princess' hair myself. I try to keep it about an inch long or so. She used to go to the groomer's faithfully but one day I arrived & they didn't know it....they hit or otherwise hurt a dog that nipped at them from the sounds of it, she'll never go back! The only thing I can't do is clip her nails--she becomes so unruly that several people couldn't get it done, so I have to find somewhere to take her for that. I bathe her every weekend (which she hates) and try to brush her every day or two (which she loves). I also think I'm going to attempt to use clippers on her this summer, I love that look, too!

Right now my Yorkie, her name is Mukki, is in the hospital, but she is doing better.
I prefer short hair. let the show dogs have the long hair, lol.
