I am a groomer who ownes and operates my own shop, and I can agree with the poster that says 6 monthes is a hard age to get the first grooming on ANY dog..If the groomer said it was to young what she probally meant was that she would not cut all the hair into a puppy cut at this age,,,many groomers wont even attempt to start a dog at grooming if they have not been groomed before this age several times, most like to do a dog at 6-10 weeks old then every 6 weeks get a maintence groom and let the puppy get used to the sounds smells and noise along with training to stand sit and just general form a bond to some degree such as how its going to be with other dogs barking and all the other things that people dont think of that is part of a good grooming such as ear cleaning nail trimms and hair cut from pads not to mention potty trails and belly area..Some groomers dont like to cut yorkies because they do tend to be a little more aggresive if they have not been trained at an early age for this experience...I know that most think awww the little baby hows he going to be bad but rule of thumb the smaller the dog the bigger the attutide,,,I would prefer to do a rott before a yorkie thats never been groomed before...Just my opinion,,,please dont take it personally I am just wanting to explain where the groomer might be coming from,,these things are relationships with dog and groomer and its hard to start at 6 monthes with ANY dog,especially yorkies cockers and schnauzers they all tend to be very fisty at 6-12 monthes old...Hope you find a groomer though that will work with you I would but I would require two visits with me to get the puppy used to things before I attempted to cut it shorter into a puppy cutt...
