Long hair on Jackson...???

[107barney]

Teddy's hair is down to the floor and Barney's is a close second. They roll around in the dirt and run in the yard. It's a lot of work to keep them clean and get the mats out. You and Jackson are so active, I think short might be better.

The only time it hangs straight is when I blow dry it, otherwise it'll get curly looking. Even then it only stays straight for the day Attachment 346752

I say you may as well give it a try during the winter months, just to see how he looks with it. Heck maybe you could just try the "Joey" It seems to look good on any yorkie

I think Rizzo has hair almost exactly like Jackson's!!! I think he would always look a hot mess so... I'm keeping the short look, LoL. I know me, and I won't be able to stand it, you guys are right... Action Jackson needs to keep his short look.

Yes, I still love the long hair look, and if she had a true silky coat she would probably have it but.. I am so in love with her cut right now I can't see us going back

I don't think I'd be able to do this w/ Jackson, it looks so fantastic on some other dogs (like Tacye, Zhoie and Joey, LOL) but I would always look at him and think it's unfinished... don't think I could shave the body and not do the legs, plus he's such a manly man dog () just not sure it would work for him....

Long hair and pool are not the best mix! In fact, I'm debating cutting both my boys short because sometimes I find I don't want them in the pool because of their hair. It's ridiculous, actually

I want to see your boys with short hair! I think Max would look even more similar to Jackson with a short 'do.

Well, considering that the groomer cut off his topknot Max's hair on his body is about 1/2way to the floor right now. He's 14" tall so I imagine it'll take a little longer to reach the floor! It dries almost immediately because it's silky and pin straight. Cooper's hair takes about 2 hours to completely dry. I think I'm cutting him in a puppy cut but going to try to leave his head long.....until i shave them both

ZoE's hair is slowwwly growing out. It's pretty straight, but she has "wings" on her hips where it's not quite long enough to hang straight and it curves out when she sits down...and when she stands up, it stays that way....lol I brush it straight as I blowdry it after a bath and it looks good for a hour maybe....then she sits down ...and hip wings!

Ha ha ha! Thor has "hip wings" too. I always blow dry his backside and brush it out in hopes that it will lie flat, but it just doesn't want to. Thor is such a weird little yorkie, I guess this is one more thing that makes him special.

My guy has a cotton coat and I want to grow him out just once to see how he looks. I started using the Pek conditioner and his hair is so silky soft that I decided to do it. Not the best time I know with the summer heat. We are well on our way and then my company decided that I have to travel for a project for the next 5 weeks. My son will be dogsitting. He loves him but I know that he will not be brushing him as often as I do. Now I have to decide what to do. He needs a trim that's for sure. Do I get him in a puppy cut and then start again after my travels or get him trimmed enough that my son can hopefuly keep him from getting matted?

I had always kept Pebbles in a shorter cut but decided about 6 months ago to let it grow out. It's still wavy but as it is getting longer it's beginning to straighten out. I noticed the other day on FB that Jackson's hair was getting long and I thought he looked adorable. But~the longer hair does take a lot more maintenance. With all the activity that you and Jackson like the shorter cut is probably the way to go. Just a side thought....you could let his head hair grow out and have the best of both.

Jackson is adorable in his longer hair, and it would probably be nice for added warmth in winter. However, I do love his clean, crisp shorter look and it is much better suited for warm weather activities.

I took my boys to the park after a big rain yesterday. Although we stuck to the pavement most of the time, they were wet and muddy by the end of the hour. I spent an hour and a half cleaning them up when we got home.

That Jackson boy will be a gorgeous fella anyway he wears it

I love that last photo of Jackson ...
