Do the eyelashes keep growing... Do they ever need a trim - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Eva's lashes are already so long. Do they just keep growing? They are maybe an inch and a half now. I have heard of some getting to 3 inches! Does anyone trim them?

I do love them though, they are so pretty.

The groomers trim Bailey's eye lashes. Dunno how they do it!

They are pretty aren't they! Fancy has long eyelashes too, I think they are too pretty to trim! 3 inches is very long though, that might be time to trim.

Is she a morkie? because my Shorkies eye lashes are /was very long like 3in long. My Yorkies eye lashes dont get like that. any ways I wanted to keep my shorkies Yorkie/Shih tzus eye lashes but after last grooming some got into the hair I was cutting on her face so I had to trim the other side to match LOl.

I have wondered too. Cali has the longest lashes and they keep getting caught in her topknot but I have been afraid to cut them.

the eye lashes usually just get trimmed when the visor is being trimmed.

they do continuously grow on dogs with undetermined hair growth i believe. I don't like them and on certain dogs its a pain to leave them alone when the owner requests it. a cocker owner asked me to keep them and i thought it just looked ridiculous because a cocker head is shaved really short all over.

Thanks!! I am cutting Cali's tomorrow

Josh has long eyelashes, and I had a red Cocker Spaniel that had long eyelashes. I think long eyelashes on dogs and people are beautiful. I purposely do not cut them.

I forgot to add that my Shih Tzu has long eyelashes too. I do not pull the eyelashes in the topknot.
