Professional haircut and grooming of a beaver Yorkie in Kyiv

Who is Beaver York?

Beaver York is a unique dog breed that combines elegance, charm and friendly character. These small, but energetic and loyal dogs appeared in Germany in the 1980s thanks to the efforts of breeders Werner and Gertrude Beaver. They are distinguished by their bright tricolor color – a combination of white, black and golden colors, which creates their unique appearance. Beaver Yorkies have a compact body, weighing up to 3.5 kg, and are considered ideal friends for both urban and rural life. Known for their intelligence and playfulness, which helps them in learning and socialization. Their silky coat, which falls in straight strands, requires careful grooming, which gives them even more elegance.

Yorkie beaver grooming: necessary procedures

The Yorkie is a breed that requires special care, which includes regular procedures such as:

Claw trimming and polishing

Yorkie Beaver’s claws should be trimmed regularly to prevent discomfort when walking and to avoid injury. Claws that are too long can cause misalignment of the paws, which eventually leads to pain and joint problems. Grinding the claws after trimming allows you to eliminate sharp edges.

Ear cleaning

Ear cleaning is extremely important for the Yorkie because of their tendency to build up wax and dirt, especially in ears that lack natural ventilation due to their shape and long coat. Regular brushing helps prevent infections, such as otitis media, that cause pain and discomfort in your pet. Using special ear cleaners that do not contain alcohol helps to gently and effectively remove excess wax and dirt.

Eye cleaning

Because Yorkie Beavers have a tendency to watery eyes, eye cleaning is an integral part of grooming. Tear stains can leave marks on the white coat, causing irritation over time. For this, it is recommended to use special lotions or wipes that gently clean the area around the eyes, preventing the formation of spots.

Yorkie beaver bathing

Regular bathing helps maintain the cleanliness and health of the beaver Yorkie’s coat. For this breed, it is important to use shampoos that do not contain aggressive chemical components in order to maintain the natural balance of the skin. Conditioners help to avoid overdrying of wool and preserve its softness and shine. After bathing, it is important to thoroughly dry the wool with a hair dryer at a low heat level to avoid tangling and tangles.

Combing

Daily combing is a mandatory element of care for the Beaver York. Their coat, similar to human hair, easily tangles and forms tangles if not combed regularly. Combing also helps distribute natural oils evenly throughout the length of the coat, making it healthier and shinier. You should start combing from the tips and gradually go up to the roots, using a soft comb or brush.

Peculiarities of paw care

Beaver Yorkie paws require regular inspection, as dirt and moisture can accumulate between the pads, leading to skin irritation. It is recommended to regularly trim the coat between the pads to reduce the risk of infections. It is also important to use moisturizing creams or balms for the paws, especially in the cold season, when the skin on the pads can dry out and crack. We also advise you to put shoes on your beaver in the winter season so as not to irritate the skin with salts.

To maintain the ideal appearance and health of the Beaver York, it is necessary to visit the grooming salon every 4-6 weeks. The coat of this breed, although it resembles human hair, requires special care. It is important to use conditioners and moisturizers that prevent overdrying and maintain the softness and shine of the coat.

Types of haircuts for Beaver York

The choice of a Beaver-Yorkshire terrier haircut depends on the season, the dog’s lifestyle and the owner’s personal preferences. Summer haircuts, for example, involve cutting the coat shorter to keep the dog comfortable in hot weather. Short hair provides better ventilation, reduces the risk of overheating and makes it easier to take care of the dog during walks.

Winter haircuts, on the other hand, keep more length to protect the dog from the cold. In this case, groomers leave longer fur on the body and legs, which maintains natural warmth.

Exhibition haircuts are a real art, where each strand of wool emphasizes the best features of the breed. For exhibitions, it is important to follow the breed standards, which provide for a certain length and shape of the haircut, which allows the dog to look as presentable as possible.

Hygienic haircuts are best suited for daily care, when convenience and cleanliness are the main goals. They include short trimming of the fur on the body, paws and around the eyes, which makes grooming the dog easier and more convenient in everyday life.

When choosing a haircut, you should take into account the dog’s vital needs: activity, weather, frequency of going outside. Regardless of the chosen style, it is important to maintain regularity in grooming.

The first grooming for a Yorkie beaver: at what age to start?

The Yorkie is a breed with delicate skin and silky fur that requires special care from an early age. The recommended age for the first haircut is 5-6 months. During this period, the puppy already has a sufficiently developed coat, and it is ready for the first haircut. It is important that the first experience is positive, so grooming at this stage includes only light trimming of the tips of the fur, particularly on the paws and face.

Before the Beaver York reaches the age for a full haircut, it is necessary to prepare it for regular grooming procedures. Basic routines include bathing with special shampoos for delicate skin, regular brushing to avoid tangles, and ear cleaning to prevent infections. At this stage, it is important that the puppy gets used to the groomer’s hands and tools, so the groomer can lightly trim the fur on the paws so that the puppy feels comfortable during future trims.

Adaptive grooming for a Yorkie beaver

Adaptation to grooming should be gradual. It is recommended to start with light procedures at home: regular combing, soft touching of paws and ears. Such actions help the puppy to get used to the process and reduce the level of stress. Using treats while combing and cleaning the ears forms positive associations. Grooming should take place in a calm environment, without sudden movements or loud sounds. Groomers working with Beaver Yorkies always use a calm voice, slow movements and take breaks if they notice that the dog is nervous. This helps reduce anxiety and make the process more enjoyable.

How do our groomers help dogs adapt to haircuts?

The groomers of the V.O.G DOG SALON network know that each Beaver York needs an individual approach. First, they introduce the puppy to tools—scissors, trimmers—by letting him sniff them and make sure they don’t pose a threat. Then the groomers start with light manipulations, gradually approaching the haircut. It is important to praise after each stage, which strengthens the dog’s confidence.

Care for a York beaver at home

Basic rules of care

Beaver York needs daily brushing to avoid the formation of mange. The coat of the Beaver-Yorkshire Terrier breed is similar to human hair, so it must be carefully combed with a special brush or comb, starting from the tips and moving to the roots. Regular bathing (once every 2-3 weeks) with the use of mild shampoos and conditioners helps to maintain the cleanliness and shine of the coat. After bathing the Beaver Yorkie, it is important to thoroughly dry the fur with a hair dryer at a low temperature to avoid tangling.

How to properly care for ears, teeth and paws?

The Yorkie’s ears should be regularly checked and cleaned with special means to avoid the accumulation of dirt and wax. It is recommended to clean the ears every 1-2 weeks. The teeth of the Beaver York require daily cleaning with a special toothpaste for dogs to prevent the formation of dental plaque and caries. It is also important to trim the claws every 3-4 weeks so that they do not interfere with the dog while walking and do not cause discomfort.

If you do not have experience in caring for the Beaver-Yorkshire terrier breed, it is better to contact professional groomers in the V.O.G DOG SALON chain of beauty salons for dogs.

Recommendations for choosing care products

For Beaver Yorks, it is recommended to use shampoos and conditioners that do not contain sulfates and parabens to avoid skin irritation. It is worth choosing moisturizing agents that ensure the softness and shine of wool. In no case do not use products for people – they have a negative effect on the skin and fur of the animal. For brushing teeth, pastes with a pleasant taste should be used, which stimulate the dog to brush regularly. Moisturizers or balms that prevent cracking of the skin on the pads are suitable for paw care.
