Morkie tips please.... I have a 4 1/2 month old morkie (maltese/yorkie) and would like to have grooming tips please. I bathe her once a week, is that enough? Her facial hair looks like it may be impeding her sight, can I cut it? She keeps getting these little tangled balls of fur, how do I get rid of them? Any info at all concerning grooming would be appreciated. Thanks, andrea |
If you cut it, you'll be cutting it forever. I'd be patient and let it grow out and it won't bother her again. It sounds like she's matting up. You need to find a detangling spray. I use Ice on Ice. You spray (midst) and brush though. This needs to be done everyday to avoid matting. You may need a comb to get these out for now. You can put Mane and Tail on to help get these matts out also. If you want a beautiful coat get a brush that doesn't have the ball pins on the ends. It can be painful trying to get out those matts (tangles) so be sure to brush her often during the week. She'll thank you for it. |
I agree. Once you start cutting you'll always be cutting, and using detangler is an excellent idea. I use mane and tale and it works great on their hair. |
I have a Morkie almost the same age. I brush her every day and try to brush the hair away from her eyes till it grows out. After shampooing I use Plush Puppys Blow Dry Cream. It works wonders with combing them out and getting matts out and controlling them. I would never be without it again.:D There is the awkward stage where the hair is just unruly - hang in there while it grows out.:) |
I have a morkie Peanut, and I have been shaving him down for years, He has the maltese hair, extra thick, but once you do cut the hair on the face, well you have to continue all the time, if I had it to do over again, I would of trained him with a topknot..but his almost 11 and he hates that now...good Luck:D |
Sounds like patience is the key! But I'm williing for her. thanks, andrea |
my vet told me that givin my puppy a bathe every week is too much because this dries out the puppies skin. So she recommended 3-4 weeks. |
my vet told me you should put vaseline (sp?) on the places around their eyes and if you cut them they grow in thicker and hurt their eyes more its been working for my morkie Henry so far hope that helps some:) |
I bathe my yorkies every two weeks..I was doing it weekly but found they were getting itchy from it..I use a good conditioner and a spray and brush at least once a day and now the tangles come out so easily...do you have pics of your Morkie?? |
Thanks for the tip about hair in eyes. Thank you for the vaseline tip. I have been wondering what to do about the hair in Tessie's eyes,(my 4 1/2 mo. old morky) :) She is so sweet but I have worried how to cut it since she wiggles so. How do you keep them still to cut and trim without taking her to a groomer?:confused: |
Help me post a thread with pictures of my yorkies<i have been trying now for days>thankyou |
I have a 8 month old morkie an she is matted mostly around her neck where her collar goes an her thighs she HATES her feet touched so hard to trim the hair around her feet her hair seems very dry i have not been using conditioner on her maybe i should start what kind of brush do i use i have been using a small cat brush with metal bristles she dont care for it much im new at this site so not sure what im doing |
My max is a Morkie! I did not know there we so many Morkies here! We keep him in a long puppy cut. I did not want to have to deal with putting the hair up-LOL I use the Cloud Star products for mats and give him a bath once a week or so. And his "Dad" does not like the hair up...to foo foo for his boy he says-LOL :animal36 |
thanks for the info i comb her every day seems around her neck is the worst and she HATES her feet done so that is quite difficult for me i dont really know what the cuts really are but i try my best ppl say shes cute haha |
My little Morky, Todo (8 mos) loves his bath and combing...I'm not very good at the grooming part though, he's also too wiggly! learned my lesson early on with a bad cut...so off to Dog De Salon he goes. I will take a pic and post tomorrow after his visit there. Seriously though, I just started combing him every night while watching TV and now he brings the comb to me. "tiny round comb kept with his toys" I have never had a little fella like him and I love him to pieces :love: He has such a great personality and loves everyone he meets except my 5 year old grandson...:confuse2: Good Luck with your baby, just be gentle, Dorothy |
