| Thank you. I too love this cut but was worried to cut off all my baby's hair. She loves it and so do I.

Last year (1st summer cut) when I did Zhoie's legs I used a comb on them and then brushed the hair out to the side towards the back legs and cut them up from paw to elbow at an angle. That was really cute too. This is our first time with the leg hair grown out. I'm all about experimenting on Zhoie's hair cuts now (poor girlie). Good thing she's a good sport about it LOL

| I tried doing something similar, well I took Sophie in and had the groomer cut it, but they left a "skirt". Well because of the cottony coat she looked like she had a mullet. (argh) So I decided to cut that down, making a long story short I pretty much butchered her hair. It is now grown into a puppy cut but she just looks messy. Can you trim the body short like that and then use thinning shears or something to keep a skirt from sticking out too far? Her fur is unbelieveable thick. Her legs are pretty long so I have been told she needs a skirt to keep from looking too long legged. |

| Wow, you did a fantastic job!! Did I understand you correctly that you clipped against the hair growth? Did you use a scissors on her face? I clip Macy using a 7F blade but I want to go a little shorter. I don't touch her face, just neck on down and leave her legs long also. What video did you watch?

I love this haircut, and wish everybody who has done it would post pics all in one thread. They are adorable, and of course perky and easy to care for.

The first time I tried to trimmed Emee I left a skirt...it didn't look too good. It was too long and bushy. The picture at the beginning of this thread was my 2nd try 2 weeks later. Emee's fur is also unbelieveably thick...especially on her legs. So I cut the hair on the legs short. I also did what Perrella suggested and used a longer comb and went straight down on her sides closer to the belly. I somewhat followed the instructions from the grooming video "How to Groom Your Pet Yorkie at Home" The last cut is the one used part of. I cut the "skirt" short with scissors...like in the video. You have to be carefull though not to get to close to the belly. Also, Emee is on the short side so the short skirt works. Hope this helps.
