Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | It is common practice to trim the hair under the eyes, kinda like an inverted V over the nose. The general population of pet owners with dogs that are kept in cute pet cuts want the face to be open and clean. Even if the breed standard calls for the hair to be left alone to grow straight and long, most owners still want it cut because it keeps the face cleaner and allows the owners to see their eyes. i've had a lot of people come in with no idea or care about what was done to the body but their only request was to cut the hair under the eyes so they can see them. There are the few owners who are very passionate about the breed they own and know what the standard calls for and know what they want. These owners come in with photos and notes and tell us exactly what they want, which is great. i always do exactly what they want, whether it be to leave something or to cut something a certain way (as long as it is safe for the dog of course). i do my best to follow instructions. As for the groomers who don't listen to the owners they are only hurting themselves and their business. obviously the owner isn't going to return to a groomer who doesn't honor their requests.

| Loved this thread Thank you so much for this discussion. I had the same questions about what to do. I don't want my boys nose shaved but it seems to be growing v-e r-y s-l-o-w-l-y. I appreciate the encouragement.

| Ok, here's what I have run into with Zhoie's hair. We are STILL trying to grow out the visor cut bangs, They are a couple inches now and just literally bend foward over her eyes. I have to put a band in the tiny little front hairs like 3-4 times a day. The real issue is....I always cut the V at eye corners because her face is so little you didn't see her beautiful eyes. So, I did successfully get that eye hair grown down....but I simply can't stand how it will hump up, yes...HUMP UP. It's not in her eyes but it does take away from seeing them as much. I believe it will always hump up, does any know. I'm battling with which way to leave, cut the V again or not. hmmm

| I just feel like I make a mess out of Lizzy's hair everytime I put a bow in. I tried again this weekend and not only was it lopsided, the hair behind the bow looked like a knotted mess. I give up, from now on, it's bangs. While we are talking about the face and grooming, I had a maltese breeder tell me that she warns all her puppy buyers to be sure to trim the eyelashes because they can curl down and get under the eyelid and cause horrid problems. Is it the same for yorkies? I searched but never found anything on it. I have trimmed her eyelashes when I notice they are extremely long. Liz has floppy ears, and I've been letting the hair grow on them. I like how it looks.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | yup! some people say not to do it because of balance and blah blah blah but many dogs get theirs trimmed as part of their standard trim (cockers, schnauzers, springers) and they have no problem what so ever. I trim Morgan's when she's soaking wet during a bath. her facial hair lays flat while her whiskers stick straight out and they are easier to trim.

Kellie's tip about taking pics to the groomer is a good one!
