i really dont like the summer cuts. i prefer the long coats

I never did Parker and will probably never do Maddie. I love the longer coats. I know they are a lot of work but its worth it to me.

Rebel is the only one that I keep cut down. Males are just easier to keep that way...at least for me!

I voted yes but will never do it again.

I had to give Gus a summer cut last year but only because of his accident. After been attacked by a German Shepherd, they had to shave him down so I did have to shave him from the neck down. And I did trim chest and face. He looked like a tiny lion. I just prefer the long hair. And I do think the summer/puppy cuts are cute but I much rather have Gus's hair long.

Mojo's first "summer" cut was a mistake - a big mistake. I told the groomer to only take an inch off and she took him DOWN to an inch!

WOW! Was I shocked and a little upset!

BUT......I say every summer, he has beautiful hair and I am going to keep it long and grow it out more - then my DH keeps at me, so I end up cutting it short

AND Mojo just loves it! You can tell he feels so much cooler and just over all better. We live where it can get very hot, not just from the temp, but from the horrible humidty.....So, we normally give him a summer cut (but it still takes me awhile to do it)!

This is Starsky first Summer cut. He looks so much happier being cut short with this hot weather. I am just wondering how long it will take for his hair to grow back long. Or semi long. It is so much easier to bath and groom him. He has curly or wavy hair so it looks good on him.

I always get Baby a summer cut, because of the heat!! Its easier on her!!

Brutus'mama · 07-21-2006, 10:12 AM

I did it and I'm so happy! I love it and I think I'm going to keep it fairly short all year long. It's so much easier for me and I think he likes not having to be groomed so much.

Right now it's in a summer cut, I plan on keeping it that way until it gets cold, but i'm growing it out - summer's going bye bye in about a month - I hope!

This is my first time grooming a yorkie or any dog every single day! If anyone has any tips or reccomend anything please let me know! I need all the help possible.

Ella is only 10 months old. She will be getting her second cut of the summer this Tuesday. I like it better when she has a short cut, but i do think i'll let it grow out for the winter. She won't be going out much then.

Rockie is a handsome cottony yorkie, so we had decided to continue to keep the short cut. He does so much better with it. lt's easier for me to keep him clean with the short hair.
