Shaving for the summer? To make it short. I have a 4 month old "morkie"... (Sorry he's not a full blooded yorkie, couldn't find any big morkie communities :D). Before him I had a lab, and I would have her shaved down every summer to make her more comfortable. I did a quick google search and found that some people do shave their yorkies and they don't look too bad afterward. His fur isn't terribly long (I don't think at least), but I've noticed he's been getting....well, dingleberries lately. Perhaps it was just a bad "potty" and won't happen again, but it just got me wondering about the grooming habits. Thanks for any advice. |
Both of mine are short, except we leave Sammy's topknot. I have tons of pics on my blog I will PM you the link. |
I shave mine down, as you can see in my avatar this is my Meeka after she had her new haircut. They shave her body and legs really really short and then just trim around her ears and face. I think they look just fine being shaved! I was nervous at first but it's nice not to have to brush, brush and more brush everyday! Let me see if I can find a better pic of her after her haircut to show you. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...1/IMG_0218.jpg |
I've got a cottony coated Yorkie and a silky coated one. The cottony coated one I routinely have clipped to 1/2 inch or even 1/4 inch all over his body. He looks great, IMO. The silky coated one I usually keep longer (shanatink has threatened my life if I do otherwise), but one time when she wasn't looking I clipped him short, too, and he didn't look bad at all. You can clip or shave around the butt to solve the dingleberry problem, even between formal groomings. |
