Can You Help Me With Haircut Ideas for My Boys 3 Attachment(s) Cooper is my mixed breed Yorkie/Maltese mix. I haven't cut his hair in months. I've been attempting to grow it but it's a very cottony thick coat and with the summer heat quickly approaching I don't think it's going to work out. I also brush it about twice per day for at least 1/2 hour each time and still can't keep up with the mats. I have always cut his hair very short around his entire body including his face. But now I love the little top knot and his facial hair and want to keep that. So I'm thinking a short body (not shaved) and a longer face. I love his chin area but I'm just not sure how that gets blended. I don't know what to ask or show their groomer. I decided yesterday I'm going to continue growing Max's hair. His hair is so easy to manage and requires about a 2 minute brushing per day. I also don't think his hair will weigh him down in the summer. Here are pics of my boys (ignore the shoes:rolleyes:) If anyone has a short body/longer face pics I'd love for you to share. Attachment 340757Attachment 340758Attachment 340759 |
I just finished grooming Bogie my Biewer and he is a cotton coat and has horrible mats. I kept him in a long coat for over a year and I have to say, he is so much more comfortable with short hair. I felt guilty because the long hair was for me not for him. Here are a few pics I snapped just now of his cut. http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/100_1801.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/100_1792.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/x...3/100_1800.jpg |

Yeah I leave the hair on the legs and just trim around the feet. I have seen Yorkies with the hair on their nub left long and it is really cute. I use a 4fc blade on his body and a 7fc on his tummy. I just use scissors to trim up his facial hair and beard. |
Cooper's upper legs are probably the worst area for him. I love the way your boy looks but think I'd have to cut the whole body including legs. Thanks so much. It really helps to have a visual. |
Karen I think that cut would look totally cute on Cooper! I like it too when the body is cut very close and the legs are left a little fuller, with a longer face, so cute! |
4 Attachment(s) Nini is a Yorkie/Maltese mix too and looks so much like your babies :D I love her hair long, but she does get very flushed in the summer. So, I have to keep it shorter than I like. Weird, she gets 'blonder' in the summer :p Nicky (the Biewer) gets matted a lot, even in his tail and he looks tired with long face hair. I think my babies know when they look nice, they walk taller :D As if showing-off ? I'm still trying to find a groomer that will do what I want and not what she thinks is a better look for my babies :rolleyes: I hope you find one that won't disappoint you :thumbup: |

3 Attachment(s) I cut morgan short all year long. Her body is very short while I let the leg length vary depending on the season. Her body I consider all the black parts so I even shave a little down her legs in the "V" pattern that it makes. This way her bum, hips, pits, and inner legs don't get matted. I also scissor her head to whatever length I feel like. Its usually short and round but has been longer in the past. Morgan has a soft plush cotton coat. Not silky at all. |

Thanks :D You're right, I wouldn't mind much about the looks either, if my babies would at least not go into flight mode every time we get close to one of the groomers' buildings. I don't trust one of them :( that's why we don't leave them, we wait for them. I'm learning how to do it myself :eek: |

I just bought a decent set of clippers with some different size blades and started trimming. I figure the way the last groomer butchered them up and made them act strange for 2-3 days ( I think she was rough with them):mad: I could mess it up myself and at least they are not in any stress.;) I have just been doing it for about 3 months and it gets easier each time I do it.:) |
Boy I really did a number on Sophie this weekend. She has the dreaded cottony coat and mats very easily. So I had her at the groomer and it was supposed to be a modified schnauzer. She wound up looking like she was wearing a mullet instead. So I thought I'll just trim that down farther. Well I went down a little too far on the legs and then had to cut them all the way back to even her off. :eek:She looks like she has mange. Her legs are kind of long looking now and like they would snap in the breeze. I keep telling myself it's only hair it will grow out. Right????? |
