Thinking about a Schnauzer cut...has anyone done it?
 

It is so hot here! Just at the beginning of summer it has already been 104 degrees. Sassy lays on the tile and the lineoleum to keep cooler. We do have air-conditioning but when it gets up in the hundreds, it is sometimes 80 degrees in here and the air runs and runs and runs.

I have been thinking about getting her a Schnauzer cut to get the hair off her back. Soooo.....I am wondering if anyone else has done this. If you have, may I see photos?

I want my baby to be more comfortable. I just don't want to end up sad and sorry.

Thanks bunches! :)

I cut my big boy Booboo in a Schnauzer cut!! I think it came out really cute!! It was my first time though, so I'm sure the next time will be better!!
The first one is him before, shaggy boy! And then after!

I guess it is kinda hard to tell from the photo but the hair on his back is about 3/4" and his leg hair is long!! He looks cute in person!:p

This is a picture of Buffy after her bath and cut....sorry this is the only picture that shows the cut on the body. I'll try to look for one of her standing up.

I have to keep her in this cut all summer or she gets too hot at night and can not sleep , and if I have the air on all the time she gets a cold.

Sorry I don't have any pictures but I usually get Dougal Schanauzered for summer. it's the full monty shaved back and neck, and v short on his head, little old man eyebrows and beard, and about an inch of hair on his belly and slightly less than that on his legs.

Because Dougal is probably closer to mini schnauzer size than yorkie size everyone asked if he was a schnauzer -- has anyone ever seen a black and tan schnauzer?

I thought he looked exceptionally dapper and he loved being a nekky pup.

A Schnauzer cut is beautiful when a yorkie have a straight back , if not forget it.

Yay for my "NEW GROOMER"/I look handsome - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community

Buddy sported it for almost a year then I got rid of the skirt and let
the head, legs, tail and chest get longer. That is what he sports today.
Maybe over the winter we'll let his back grow again.

i always do this cut! and i do it myself it is really easy and i keep his top knot in and beard and leggins and skirt. it is really cute!!! which reminds me i need to give him another trim!!! anyway it does look really cute try it and see if you like it. i love it!!! remember if you dont like it. it will always grow back!

Wow, you did that cut yourself? It looks SO good! Great job :)

Here is my Shorty in a summer cut. It is shorter on the back and sides but the skirting is long.

Here's the picture.

Here's some more pictures of Shorty, before and after. I love this kind of hair cut for the summer time, short on back but still long on sides.

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who responded. The images helped me make my decision....

I'm gonna do it! :D

Thanks again!

is Boo-Boo the dog on my website?
 

I think you bought my grooming DVD and sent me some before and after pics?

Shnauzer cut
 

Ok I am very new to this...I tried to upload pictures of Chloe's shnauzer cut this morning and it did not work...I just made an album that has pictures of her new cut...I love it!!!! Only thing that shocked me at first was her ears...They look HUGE...the groomer cut all the hair off her ears instead of tipping them like I asked...I live in South GA and its already hot...After a few days with her new cut I think I almost like her ears like this...She looks like a snorkie...lol...people have asked me what kind of dog is this...her back is short with a very short fringe (skirt) her legs are featherd...the top of her head is very short..I think I am going to keep her cut like this.

I have no clue how to post a link to my album on here..I need to do a little more reading...I hope you can find my album and look at her photos.

Take care

New to this site and already loving it!:animal-pa

I was able to see the photos by going to your profile. :)

Thank you for posting. I still haven't done anything about this yet. I waffle back and forth. LOL One minute I am gona do it and the next I don't know if I am or not.

Sure wish I could show my Sassy the photos and ask her what she thinks.:rolleyes:

Now you have me thinking about it for Baby Chloe. She goes next week. I really want her long, but Im in Bako not too far from you and the heat is coming soon! Im gonna take a pic of Shorty to the groomer with me.

My Otis is kind of in a Schnauzer cut, but not on purpose!!:confused:
It's because that's as far as he lets me get with grooming!!!!!

you can do it!
 

If you want to groom her yourself, I made a great yorkie grooming video:
"How to Groom Your Pet Yorkie at Home". It is 2 hours, 2 minutes long. It explains in very detailed, simple to understand, common sense ways to care for your yorkies coat at home. It is made for the at home pet owner who knows nothing about grooming. It covers nail trimming, foot pad shaving, ear hair plucking and ear canal cleaning, how to trim out the eye corners between the eyes, how to clip the sanitary area, how to tip the ears. I show 3 different hair styles for the body (long to the floor "traditional" look, puppy cut, and schnauzer type "personality" clip) and a few different head styles. How to put up the top knot, and a newer style of topknot that will really stay in, and a rounded cute "teddybear" face and head style. I show how to empty the anal glands, and show the bathing and drying.
I explain all about using the grooming equipment properly, what to buy, where the groomers shop for the lowest prices around.
I stress common sense and safety.
THIS IS NOT FOR SHOW DOGS OR PROFESSIONAL GROOMERS.
I have been a professional groomer for 17+ years now.
I show a few of the important things over and over so you can see from different angles. I use 3 different yorkie models.
My DVD's have chapters so you can skip to what you need to see.

I have them on my yorkie website (see signature below) and I will give Yorkie Talk members a $10.00 off discount for a limited time.The website price is $39.95 + $3.50 shipping. Members here will get it for a total of $33.45 which includes the shipping fee.

I accept pay pal and US POST OFFICE money orders.
Feel free to PM me if you are interested. The discount is for a LIMITED TIME ONLY as long as my current supply lasts.
