| Summer cuts - who has them? As the summer progresses, I see more and more YT yorkies with summer cuts. It's something we've never even considered, and now I wonder if it is the norm. Do you usually give your baby a summer cut? |

| Yes I do. I find him to be so hot with all that hair. I walk him several times during the day and he loves being outside. I really think he loves it when his hair is short. He seems to show off when it gets cut. I let it grow during the winter with just a trim here and there. |

| Yes I give my babies a summer cut -- it's short then their regular puppy cut. I keep their hair short in a puppy cut all year long. In the summer, I give them a summer cut so that the heat and humidity doesn't make them sick -- plus it's clean and easy for the beach!

| Oh, yes! Muffin couldn't take the heat without getting a hair cut and she, as does Kacee, loved being outside. I'd rather see them happy than hot.

| It is very hot and humid here, and I just don't want Louie to suffer in the summer. I am afraid he would have a heat stroke or something.

| Ive never even considered it, but I'm beginning to wonder if it's the right thing to do, since so many YT owners are doing it? It just seems such a shame that you take all year to grow the coat, and then it's all cut off!

| I didn't vote, b/c I don't know yet. Trixie is at the groomer as we speak getting a summer cut. I'm leaving her face longer, but trimming the hair on her body. Keep your fingers crossed it's going to turn out cute

| Ginger got hers last week and I love it so much I plan on keeping it that way. She got a Schnauzer cut on the body with long feathers, and her face was kept Yorkie (gotta keep the topknot! lol). I love it and I imagine she’s cooler too. The best part is they shave around her little nub in the back and it just looks so cute.

| Georgie has a summer cut now and I will let it grow throughout the fall and winter. However he never has it long like a traditional Yorkie cut.

| I have a little 4 yr daughter who keeps sticky fingers so we keep Iko's hair cut short. I cut him in a snauzer cut. I know this is a yorkie no no. However I live in Missississippi and it is 100 degrees and it fits my family. We love short hair, however when my daughter can keep her hands off then we will consider a long trational look. Iko might not get there, he is to busy to be brushed 2x a day. |
