hey guys...i want to get my yorkie's hair cut short, but i am having a hard time finding pictures to take to show the goomer. if any of you have any pictures or know a good website to find some i would appreciate it!
When I had people who wanted a Yorkie 'short', usually I used a 5\8ths blade on them, which left a decent amount of coat on them; a 3 3\4 blade left a nice amount too.
If you want really short I would ask for a 5 or 7 blade.
Just make sure you specify to leave the head or just to shorten it to match the cut...some groomers are daft enough to take the head right off!
At the salons I work at I have a scrapbook of breeds and their clips/grooms. It means if people aren't sure of what they want (or have trouble describing it in words) they can have a look through the pictures. Its a great idea and people love looking through it. I do have a picture of a few Yorkie clips but it depends on how short is short? There are some Yorkies I do on a comb, that leaves the coat about 2.5+ inches long, some I take off with the clippers on a #4. I don't know how to post an image on a reply thread that isn't a 'http' but I'm sure I can work it out :P
If you can tell me how short you want it I can prob get a picture for you..
Cheers
