Yorkie Puppy Cut
Grooming a clean Yorkie without mats or tangles will make the Yorkie grooming job
a lot easier. Using a good shampoo and cream rinse are important. Be sure to rinse
thoroughly, this is very important. Trim Yorkie nails after a bath. The Yorkie nails
are softer when wet, and will cut easier and cleaner. Start with the #40 blade for the
top half of the Yorkie ears. Change the blade to a #30 to do your yorkie's anal area,
genitalia, pads of feet and between the back legs. Change the blade to a #3 for your
yorkie's body and legs starting directly behind the head. Work from the back to the
front, top to bottom of the Yorkie. Clip against the growth of the hair to give a
smooth finished look and avoid "tracking" marks.
Now for your Yorkie's Head. With the Yorkie facing you, comb the hair above the
eyes forward making bangs. Scissor straight across and comb back into place. Comb
the hair down on the muzzle and cut an upside down V between the eyes close to the
head. This will keep the hair out of the eyes. Do not cut too far down the muzzle.
Starting beside the eye, comb outward and hold the hair in place with your index and
middle finger of your free hand. Scissor close to your fingers on the outside of the
hair you are holding. Working your way to the top of the yorkie's head, repeat the
process, making your scissoring curved as you go around. Scissor your way around the
other side. Work from side to side, and also front of the head to the back. When you
comb the hair out, once done, all the hair on the head should be of the same ending
point making it look like a full circle. The hair in front and behind the ears should only
be as long as they meet the lower end of the shaved tip of the ear. Fan the hair on the
edges of the ear tips that you shaved with the #40 blade, and scissor as close to the ear
leather as safely possible. Turn the Yorkie to the side and comb and scissor in a curve
from the back of the jaw line to the front. Repeat on the other side. With the Yorkie
facing you once again, comb the hair on the chin downward and scissor from one side
to the other. Once finished, the Yorkie's head should look like a circle with two little
ears sticking out on top.
