Bad hair cut Hello I have a 9 week old male Yorkie. I took him to groomers Yesterday for a trim and bath. However instead they completely shaved His face, around eyes and mouth. He doesn't even look like a Yorkie anymore instead a poodle by face. How long will it take his facial hair to grow back to he looks like a Yorkie again? |
Hi and Welcome!! I’m sorry that happened. You really should leave him at home, he is too young to be going to the groomers. You should wait until he has all vaccines. He can catch kennel cough really easy. I’m surprised your groomer took him in. Usually groomers wont take in dogs that have not been fully vaccinated.. I would most likely be looking for a new groomer when that time comes up again. Please be cautious where you take your little one. |
Hi and welcome to YT! I'm so sorry you had a bad experience with a groomer. Sometimes groomers just don't listen, fortunately there are a lot of really good groomers out there too so I'm sure you will find one when the tie is right. As to your question about how long it will take to grow out your pups facial hair, I really don't know for sure. Princess Sophie's facial and head hair seems to be growing really slowly but she is our first yorkie so I'm really not the one of offer information in general. Now, as to the previous post. She's right about not taking your puppy out in public or around any other animals before he's had all his vaccines. There are so many really bad things that can make your pup sick before he's completely inoculated, including rabies. Don't be in too much of a rush to show him off just yet, you will have lots of time for that. For now, spend all your time in loving and training the basics and your pup's health will benefit!! In the meantime, we'd all love to see picts, even if your pup is not trimmed as you would like, I bet he's a cutie!! Good luck and again, welcome!! |
welcome to YT/ would love to see pics// don't know the answer to your question |
Thank you for everyone's comments. Yes I shouldn't Have took him out so soon for a cut. I would load pictures if someone could Tell me exactly how. Can I do it from my phone or do I need to be on a desktop. |
I can tell you dont go to petsmart groomers in our town ! What a joke!! |
How about a pic? OMG at least now you know what you don't want. Next time you will be able to communicate what you are looking for. I have found that we need to be specific. |

I am very sorry that the groomer did a bad job. But 9 weeks is way to young to get a hair cut, the pup doesn't have all his vaccinations and that can be very dangerous. The pic you uploaded is before or after the haircut? |
2nd picture is before (standing up). And yes he won't be going back. It's my First puppy and the groomer gave me appointment like his age was ok. But I've learned my lesson. |
dog I would be very upset and I would complain to the boss about that groomer. She should know better. I Never take my dogs to a pet store groomer. You take a chance of razor burn and they coop them up in a cage and put a hot dryer on them. Yikes! Get someone to come to your home. You can supervise and watch them. I am so sorry for what happened but the fur grows quickly and your dog is cute no matter what. |
Sandy Simpson Thank you so much. I finally talked to the breeder I Got him from and she assured me it would grow back and gave me The same advice. He's still his playful self today so that's all that matters. |
OMG!!! It will grow back and he's still a cute little baby!!!!I've had some bad haircut days too. |
He will be fluffy again within a few weeks. He is such a cutie. I really question a groomer's ability if she allowed a puppy to be groomed without all of his vaccinations. Once your little boy has his final round of vaccinations, it takes two weeks for full immunity to occur. Until then, he should not be any place where other animals have been. Your life will never be the same again after receiving the unconditional love from your adorable little baby boy. |
He is so cute! In a few weeks he will look more like he did before the cut. |
Wow, the b4 & after pics look like 2 different dogs...:confused: Why is he tearing like that, did he do that b4 he went to the groomers? If not, they could've hurt his eye. I would take him to the vet to get checked out, they can do a stain & check his cornea. Hope he'll be ok! |

Wow bag hair cut for sure. My goodness what where they thinking. You don't do that to a baby. Its clear that this groomer must not be familiar with Yorkies and the proper grooming of them. The only time a dog should be totally shave is if the owner requests it to be. Or if it is completely matted and still only with the owner consent. I am so sorry this happened. next time be sure to give strict instructions on what exactly you want done. I'd even write it down for them. Did they shave his entire body ? To answer your question if it grows at the same pace as our human hair grows it would be about a 1/4 inch a month. |
The eye teats were honestly the first thing I noticed, but they could have gotten shampoo in your baby's eyes. Yorkies are born with their hair very short, so I don't think it will take longer than how old he is now. Additionally, the hair generally grows faster in the summer. I'm surprised your breeder didn't stress all of the precautions necessary before all shots are given. It is so overwhelming when you are getting a puppy, particularly your first, so it's understandable why you couldn't have known. |
Gorgeous baby any way. I always wondered what yorkies would look like shaved back like a short haired dog, cute. But don't worry it will grow back before you know it. I always give my groomer strict instructions as to what I want and how they cut and it is written so there can be no mistakes or misunderstandings but it took me a couple of years before I have found my perfect groomer and my George likes going too which is such a bonus as he used to try and run the other way when we got to the door. |

My pups hair grows fast :) no worries |
So how's the little guy looking? How's the eyes???? Keeping eyes clean is a project for most of us. I use Baby water for Deuce to drink and I swear it helps to keep his eyes clean. I also clean him every day. It's all about grooming our little guys. |
