Look what my handler did to me!

LOL that is such an offended look....... and I've walked out of the hairdressers with that look, went directly home and fixed it.

Didn't have to sit still very long. I just took his wraps down.

You're right, I know he's having a great time with Mary and Bob and his family. Yeah, I'm sure Radar's curls are longer and fortunately, he's never had surgery and had to be shaved..I'm thankful it's finally to the floor.. (Thanks to the tender, loving care he's getting..)

Mary Ann,

You went to bed too early last night, missed out on the fun.

Cody is coming this weekend end to play with CJ. They met once already, but CJ was working at the dog show. So, they didn't get a chance to play.

I'll keep the secret.. Since Cody's hair is shorter...maybe a "fro"??

I thought I'd spike it.

Having to discipline the boys this morning, they are rough housing and creating hovac in the household.....CJ is quite the instigator when it comes to having fun.

I love that picture. Thanks for sharing. For those that wonder why show yorkies coats have to be ironed after taking them out of wraps, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Barb,

I usually don't wrap them prior to a show. After bathing them I put them up in scrunchies..less ironing that way.

I do the same thing except if I don't bathe the next day and only then Radar is put back in wraps and then I have to iron out the crimped hair LOL...but with Radar's real silky coat it's not really hard to do

But yes, this picture is great to see why sometimes we do have to really iron out the dog before showing!

You're right Donna one of the reasons we iron is to get out any crimping, or waves left from wrapping.

But, I think non-exhibitors are sometimes under the misconception that the main purpose we iron to straighten the coat. Not so, it's to lock in shine and fuse the coat together so it flows when then gait.

I'm glad you posted this picture!! I have straight hair but I use the flat iron to make it shine and take out frizzes but my hair is straight! Same with a yorkie coat it finishes the look at least that it what it should do and not straighten a curly coat to make it look straight but we know it's done.
So this picture is a GREAT example as to why we use a flat iron on the yorkie coat

Poor CJ, he's been the brunt of all this, but I'm glad Mary Ann posted the pic, it turned out to be a great learning tool.
