| The AKC standard for silkies says: " Legs should have short hair from the pastern and hock joints to the feet. The feet should not be obscured by the leg furnishings. " -- not shaved but short.

| legs That Yorks legs are not shaved..it has the type coat that grows slowly and the legs may or may not ever have long feathering... That is a natural leg am sure...perhaps the owner trimmed the edges a bit, but not shaving.. |

| A friend of mine had her male Yorkie cut down really short and he looked so long legged. She didn't like the look so is letting it grow back out. |

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Yeah, that is exactly what I'd be afraid of - the looooong legged look. I personally wouldn't do it, but that is just me And Kayko has such GORGEOUS hair (as does Brownie) If it were ME, I would honestly just leave them as is girl - they are soooo pretty

| My boy had hardly any hair in his legs a few months ago........I didn't like it. NOw, he is growing some out and I am excited.......lol I guess one way to see how it might look is by wetting all 4 legs down so the hair looks alot shorter and less compared to the dry body.
