Cutting off his beautiful locks...

[Britster]

I think he will look adorable! I think long hair is gorgeous, but I am certainly partial to the puppy cut, or shorter 'dos. I just think most of the time they are so much happier. A lot less upkeep and brushing etc.

I want to cut curri's har so badly!! But sadly, she has the pinkish Biewer skin with black spots..... So I would be a proud mamma to a miniature Cow

I DID trim her face ( okay HACK her face..) the other night. I'm in love with her new puppy cut beard

[AngelFae]

Blazer's hair (soft "cotton" coat) seems to grow OUT instead of down. Silly boy gets so super fluffy and looks HUGE! I've decided to keep his body shorter (it helps for his outside play, anyway!) but I am trying to get his face a little longer.

This is exactly what I'm planning to do with Lily. SO matty cottony hot mess! But her beard is silky, so strange!

Hi dear all, from what you have been discussing, I just wanna confirm Yorkshire grow their hair that slow ? Haha then I really wonder how long will I need to wait lol. My toy poodle's fur growing so fast!

It really depends on the dog. They are all different. Uni's hair is silky and very very fine. Her hair breaks off from walking, scratching, sliding while playing, etc, so I never have to trim her feet, between her toes, stuff like that. The only thing I trim on her is her ears to tip the tops of her ears. Some yorkies hair grow really fast. Usually those are cotton coated. A true silk haired yorkie's hair will grow slow but it's supposed to reach the ground. Uni doesn't have good hair genes, so her's is never going to get that long.

I just don't have the patience and desire to put in the effort for the floor length hair. Couver has a silky coat, but he's so much happier with short hair. Khloe's hair grows crazy fast, but mats. I keep her short because it's so much work to grow it out. I compromise and let their beard hair grow It's the best of both worlds!

I'm sure Teddy will look adorable with short hair. You should post some before/after pictures

I think I need to continue to observe, I still not very sure what type of hair she belongs to, probably not those very silky type . Lol. For these two weeks, I did see the hair grow somehow

Sounds like Sabre. I have decided that he's going to get a modified Westie cut, since his cotton coat mats up so easily and he hates being groomed. Of course, that gives me an excuse to go shopping for coats and sweaters for him . He needs his own clothes, having outgrown Pixie's puppy hand me downs, and fitting firmly into a small, unlike Pixie's extra small.

Here he is NOT fitting Pixie's winter coat.

LOL...definitely not fitting, hehe. That picture cracked me up . He's adorable!

I keep Zhoie shaved with long face and legs. Well, I got the bright idea of letting her grow for winter....mistake! I couldn't take it, she was a bush, hair sticking out in all directions and she looked so huge...big wooly bear. It took forever to get her trimmed back down today...never again, hehe.

Teddy will look great and I know you will both love the cut! Can't wait to see pictures.

I never thought I would cut Jada and Bogie's long coats, but once I did...wowzer I would never go back to full coats.
Tena I am like you , I can't stand for Jada to start getting wooly either..I keep her body shaved year round. She always looks so big when her hair starts getting bushy.
I can honestly say, she acted like a totally different dog after I shaved her down. Playful and happier than she ever had been.
Cathy I don't think you will regret your decision. Teddy will be gorgeous in whatever style you decide to do.

I did cut a few inches but otherwise chickened out
