| Minimizing professional grooming? Lola is nearly 6 months and needs to be groomed soon, her hair is starting to look shaggy and I can't deal with the nightly battle anymore. Her hair typically doesn't knot too badly, but if I hit a snag she freaks out. I use a spray conditioner, brush, comb, brush, and am very gentle. I'm pretty sure she's going to be silky. I'm hoping to get Lola groomed every 4-6 months and maintain it myself (ears, sanitary, paws). I want to leave her face longer and cut her body shorter (without shaving it). I defiantly want her to have a top knot and longer hair by her eyes, so it doesn't get in them. Any suggestions for cuts that grow out well? |

| Thanks, some of those cuts are cute but a lot are a bit too alternative for my tastes. I'm thinking about cutting her body like this http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/or...1b6eb60172.jpg and her face/ears like this, with the hair by her eyes a bit longer 5DmE8h0u.jpg - Imgend or a shorter version of this http://www.twilightyorkies.com/Kiss_Me.jpg The only thing that makes me sad is she's going to lose a lot of her black puppy fur, a lot of her roots are already charcoal. |

| This is what you can do @ home w/a Wahl Peanut trimmer & a pair of economy curved shears. You can learn to do it by watching utube vids: sanitary trim, tipping ears, trimming hair under paws, shave or scissor underbelly & arm pits, scissor around the paws & trim the body length w/scissors & many more! If you want to trim their body hair w/clippers, you'll need to invest in a pet grooming kit or a clipper w/blades.
