Do You Keep Your Yorkie's Hair Long or Short? I usually let Otis' hair grow out in the wintertime, so he won't get cold easily. But at the first sign of warm weather, the buzzer comes out! I prefer to keep it short. He looks so much cuter with short hair! |
I keep both of my Yorkies hair long. That is why I got these types of dogs in the first place. I don't care for Yorkies with a clip, but that is just my opinion. The hair doesn't make the dog so I guess it is totally up to the owners personal preference, and I prefer the standard, LONG!!! :D |
Biggie Smalls is only 5 months-ish old, so I haven't had a great choice yet. I love the look of a really long-haired Yorkie, but I can't imagine how you keep them clean and groomed with long hair. That is my main pull to the short hair cut....I think they are ridiculously cute either way :) How often do you bathe your puppies? I am a clean freak and I have a hard time not bathing Biggie quite a bit. His skin seems really flaky though, and this concerns me. I'm not sure if it is the brutal Salt Lake City winter we are having, or frequent bathing, or a combo of both. Let me know what you think please. |
Good coats... If your dog can go long and be comfortable, go for it..My dogs seem to be itchy at the beach so i buzzem in the summer and letem grow in the winter...Id love to have a show quality coat on either one...but I dont kid myself...Id rather have a clean shaven happy dog than a long scraggly, itchy one...if your dogs coat is worthy enough of growing out, do it...i would... :) |

Coat Handler Shampoos. I already posted a link in another forum. It's great! Also, be sure to rinse rinse rinse! Also, at 5 months, isn't that about the time Yorkies lose their baby hair and grow in their adult hair??? I know Yorkies don't shed, and I'm not an expert on this, but I do remember the texture of Otis' hair changing around that time. I could be wrong. Any experts on this?? |
I've never heard about puppies loosing their hair in exchange for a different coat. If so, I would like to hear about it though. I currently have a shampoo with oatmeal from a specialty pet shop here. It is organic, and it was $15.00! That is what I know about it :) |
wow, organic shampoo with oatmeal! They really do have some ritzy stuff for our Yorkies! |

bettyanne: So Toto has long hair all over? His face is adorable! I brush Neesa about 20 minutes each day. When she was a baby, she hated it, but now she loves it. Little attention whore! (I don't mean that in a bad way at all!) Always loves to be brushed so she can be pretty. Kinda like her Mommy. :P |

i bathe brownie once a week i use a oatmeal shampoo and conditioner so it dont dry out his skin his hair is getting longer now i usally keep it short it funny though i dont even have to brush him everyday he never get knots his hair is really silky |
I bathe my girls once a week at least, sometimes twice. I brush them with a leave-in conditioner about twice a week (in between shampoos). I use baby shampoo, no tears, comes in all delightful fragrances. I "buzz" them myself, and after a few mistakes, they started coming out pretty good. I keep them rather short, because we live out in the country, and they would get all sorts of things in their hair. |
Hair I dont like yorkies with so long hair so when my baby pebbles is grown with long hair im gunna cut it maybe inbeetween! :) |
