am i making a HUGE mistake?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

pepe mint · 03-15-2007, 12:45 PM

Ok, I love all the beautiful yorkies on here with the long, gorgeous hair. I am going to grow maggies hair out but I want to keep her face short. does anyone else do this? it is very cute as she is still a puppy but I wonder if it will look ok when she is grown. Here are some pictures of her with her short face...her body and hair on her head is really growing out. she is 23 weeks old today

what do you think? am I crazy? or do you think it might look ok? I have never seen a yorkie with the short face, except one at the dance store here in town but it doesn't look like the owners actually cut it short, but more like it is just kinda thin around the face and chin area. anyway...what do you think???

i think she looks cute.. but ive never seen an adult with that kind of hair cut so im not sure what it will look like as she gets older. but just like people's hair... if you dont like it... it will always grow back :-)

Would you leave the topknot long and just trim the eyes and muzzle?

RoxyJosMom · 03-15-2007, 01:17 PM

Maggie is adorable. I love that cut for a puppy. I'm not sure how it would look on an adult, but she is your baby, so you should groom her to look the way you want her to.

Looks cute. We keep Maxi face shorter and he is six years old.
Steddy's mom Brooke is helping me post pictures and I'll show you as soon as she is done.

Mandee I don't think you could do ANYTHING to take her cutness away! she is Beautiful!!!

stedmansmommy · 03-15-2007, 04:20 PM

I keep Stedman cut like this. His face is not quite as short as Maggie's is (especially around the nose) - but it IS shorter than his body hair

I prefer it this way as I don't like their bodies to be cut *too* short, yet I don't like their faces "long" - lol so it works out perfect for us

I would say that the hair on Stedman's face is a medium/short (not too long, yet not real short - you can see him in my avatar) length, and his body hair is a medium length, but still doesn't come close to touching the ground

so you think i should keep it the way it is? because the way it is now is how i am talking about keeping it, only the hair on her body and head will get longer. make sense???

i know she looks very cute with the cut now, but will it still look ok when she is older? hmmm...i think i will keep it. and if i dont like it as she gets older, we will grow it out. no harm, right???
