is it a crime to keep a yorkies hair really short

[hugz4all4]

I keep all of my dogs coats short year round, I keep my sheltie in a lion cut, my toy poodle in the puppy cut and recently had my yorkiepoo groomed into the modify snouser cut and I love it!! He will be cut like that everytime now. It just makes life easier for me and my animals since none of them liked to be brushed.

There's nothing wrong with it, and if you don't have time to really groom them it makes life a lot easier.

We keep ours short. Daisy has thick cottony hair and it looks too shaggy long. The good thing is that it never matts. I have never felt like a criminal. lol

I think my groomer believes puppy cuts are a crime - thats for sure!!! She's made it very clear that she believes in long flowing hair for all yorkies (she has three yorkies at home herself)

However, I insist on a bear-face puppy cut every time. She cuts Bailey as I ask - and does a wonderful job.

As I always say , I prefer to see a yorkie in a puppy cut than one with long matted coat .

I am planning on keeping Chloe in a not to short puppy cut ( I think that little teddy bear face look is so cute ) I will keep her hair longer on top for bows . I think the longer coats are pretty , but realistically I don't think I could maintain it the way it should be. My other dog is in a puppy type cut also.

Our groomers must have went to school together! LOL I just started taking mine to a new groomer. She has a 3yr old yorkie with beautiful long hair, mine on the other hand has always had hers cut short. I went in a couple of weeks ago and asked for a teddy bear face, sanitary cut on belly and butt and to scissor cut the body (trying to let it grow a little for winter). I think I paid $45 just to get her bathed and her nails clipped, she certainly didn't cut any off. She looked good, hair in a bow and all brushed out I didn't even notice until I got home. I think it's a conspiracy to get me to let her hair grow out. LOL

I like to keep Pao in a puppy cut especially during the summer (not all shaved down though). During the winter, I let his hair grow a little (not long all the way though) just to let him feel a little warmer although I am quite diligent in dressing him up lol. His hair is easy to take care of and doesn't mat but I think he prefers shorter hair.

I keep Shelby Rae in a puppy cut because if I don't her clothes tend to cause her hair to get knotted up...I think she has that cotton coat i've been reading about on here..and the clothes are so cute on them! I think it's a preference thing..no wrong or right way..

I think it's a crime LOL Seriously..it's your dog and go with whatever look makes you happy. Plus it's better for a dog to have short hair than matted up long hair..and a lot of people are not willing to keep up with the grooming it takes to maintain a full coat. However, I would personally never keep my yorkies in a puppycut..I very much prefer long hair on a yorkie.

Twinkle is going for her first visit to the groomers today! I LOVE the look of the long flowing silk coat, but Twinkle is cottony and even though it's growing nicely and I brush her every day she still gets matts - especially on the inside of her back legs, so I've decided on a puppy cut. xxx xxx
