The Yorkshire Terrier, or simply Yorkie, is a decorative small dog that has very dense and shiny fur. Of course, this fur requires care. You want your pet to look enchanting, right? Therefore, a visit to a professional groomer – a specialist in dog haircuts – is indispensable. Besides ensuring your Yorkshire Terrier’s neat appearance, it’s also a mandatory procedure for its health.
Haircuts for Male Yorkies
The division between boys and girls is important here because boys are cut shorter. Let’s consider the most popular haircuts for male Yorkies:
- “Pants.” The fur on the body is cut short, while the head is shaped into a circle, and the legs retain a dense hair covering, forming the “pants,” which can be styled in a flared fashion. A versatile haircut for any season.
- “Puppy.” A summer variant. The fur is left 1.5 cm long all over the body, with a circle on the head and a trimmed beard. This option suits not only puppies but also adult dogs, making them look like puppies.
- “Schnauzer.” Despite the complicated name, the haircut itself is quite simple. Somewhat similar to “pants,” since the focus is on them. However, more attention is given to the head: the top and ears are cut short, while longer fur is left on the cheeks, eyebrows, and beard.
Haircuts for Female Yorkies
Female Yorkies look like real fashionistas compared to males. Special attention is given to braids and tails, and you can choose something for your darling from the options below:
- Korean haircut. Long fur is left on the head with a pin on the tuft. The body is cut short, but model “pants” are made on the legs. This gives the dog an almost doll-like appearance, which Asians love.
- “Skirt.” The upper part of the fur is removed, and the rest hangs down (skirt), with the face cut in a circle and the bangs left. The skirt length can be adjusted to the owner’s preference.
- “Chinese Crested.” This is a breed of small dogs, and a female Yorkshire Terrier can be given such a look – shaving the fur on the back, sides, stomach, and upper part of the legs, leaving “boots” at the bottom. The face is styled like the Chinese Crested.
- “Chinchilla.” An impressive haircut, creating the imitation of a chinchilla’s fur. The focus is on the pattern on the animal’s back. This is a complex option, so it’s better to turn to a professional groomer.
Hygienic Haircut for Yorkshire Terrier
This haircut is done for the animal’s health. It includes trimming the paws and their pads, ears, around the eyes, and in intimate areas. Since a Yorkie’s fur grows quite quickly, a hygienic haircut is recommended once a month. This gives the animal a neat appearance, without mats and untidy hanging fur. Hygienic haircuts are simpler than model ones, and you can do them at home, preferably using only scissors. Brush the fur beforehand to get rid of mats, and then proceed with the haircut.
