Grooming a Yorkie Face - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have been doing most of Bella's grooming don't have a huge problem with the body but I would like to know what most of you do as far as grooming the face. Not so much on the outside area of the face but around the eyes. It seems to me that she ends up with a very hairy head.
Suggestions??? Photos???

The picture in my avatar is not what she looks like now at all. She is very hairy!

I've gotten pretty darned good at grooming Riley, however, I still can't get his face quite right. Last time I did, but this time I took off too much hair on his face, and he looks like a completely different dog. I'm so disappointed in myself for doing that to him. I need to know more about trimming around his eyes, and down his nose area, just behind the mustache. His hair always pokes him in the eyes, and I did let it grow out once, and it itched him terribly, so I started trimming it short again, as you can see in my avatar pic.

I recently cut Mylee's bangs, and I am so mad at myself for doing it that I have not taken any pictures of her yet. She looks ok, but I preferred them left long. Good luck. I hope people post pictures too.

I haven't looked at any of these, but perhaps one or more of them will help you.

I keep trying to grow Ziva's topknot but the boys say that "pigtail" hurts her and pulls her eyes up. The hair under her eyes grows so close to them I have needed to keep it trimmed, I wondered if some yorkies hair grows in differently?
