Yorkie Hair Cuts

Well my family is about to get a Yorkie.
We found it on Greensheet.
We are going at 6 to see it I know
History
The Yorkshire Terrier didn't begin as the fashionable and glamorous breed that they are today. They are a combination of so-called terrier breeds evolving from various terrier breeds. To best knowledge they think the Yorkshire was a crossbreed forming for the Waterside Terrier, Manchester Terrier, and Paisley Terrier. It got this name from all this taking place in Yorkshire, England.

In 1873, the kennel Club of England was formed. The Yorkshire Terrier joined the 40 selected Non-Sporting breeds under the name of Broken-Haired Scotch and Yorkshire Terriers. In the late 19th century the Yorkie made its popularity to the United States. Since then is has remained one of the most desired breeds.

Temperament
Although the Yorkshire Terrier is a small toy breed best know for his beautiful silky coat and spunky character, there are a lot of great things that make this breed so popular. The Yorkie is a fearless watchdog. They have a great sense of hearing and can usually hear someone coming long before they get to the door. The Yorkshire seems unaware of his small size. They are devoted to their owners. Most will prefer to share your bed if you allow. Full of energy they can keep up with kids. Because of their small size they might need more supervision with smaller children. They are eager to play and get into any trouble they might find. They have a mind of their own and this feisty, sweet little dog doesn't like to do anything he makes up his mind not to do! Even though is breed categorized as a toy there is still a lot of terrier left in them. They like to be busy, inquisitive, and bold. They can be aggressive towards animals so it is always a good idea to introduce with caution. While a toy, and at various times a greatly pampered one, the Yorkshire is a spirited dog that definitely shows its inner personality.

Health Problems
Concerns in Health might be Portosystemic Shunt, collapsing tracheas, Legg Perthes disease, patellar luxation, and occasionally seen Progressive Retinal Atrophy. It is important to keep them current on immunizations and teeth cleanings. Because of their size they can be susceptible to fragile bones. High falls or jumps can lead to problems with joints. The "teacup" Yorkies can be even more prone to health concerns and behavioral problems.

Grooming
The positive part of a Yorkie's hair is that they do not shed. Although Yorkie puppies do not need much grooming at first it is a good idea to start young so they can become accustomed to it. It may take up to 6 months for the Yorkie puppies to grow long hair and as it is groomed it becomes a silky, straighter hair. It can take a lot of time to brush and groom this breed. If you are not showing this them there are various pet trims available for Yorkshires. It is not uncommon for the Yorkie to be sporting a Westie trim. This is the same trim that is very common for the West Highland White Terrier. To keep the coat smooth and clean you need to brush them almost daily. On the upside they don't need to be cut as often as some other toy breeds such as the Poodle. If showing a Yorkshire Terriers it is a good idea to keep the coat oiled. The oil keeps the hair coated and protected, and also prevents matting. Groomers can suggest what might work best on your individual dog. Probably the main concern for maintaining a Yorkie's coat is keeping it from getting matted. When bathing it is important to use a conditioner or at least a moisturizing shampoo made for dogs. You should plan on bathing around once a week but this really just depends on the environment in which they are kept. Companion Yorkies often wear their coats shorter for easier up keeping.

Exercise
Yorkies are adventurous little dogs. They do not require a lot of exercise but do enjoy going on walks. The need plenty of attention and playtime is a great way to exercise these small dogs. They love room to run but might need to stay in a restrained area with so many hazards available to such a tiny animal. Being such a popular breed it is best to always keep these dogs within sight. A lot of dog owners have toy breeds that never get them returned if lost or stolen. It is always a good idea to keep various toys around for them to play with. They will mostly enjoy any game that interacts with their owners.

Training
Yorkshire Terriers are very intelligent, but they can also be a little stubborn. Keeping the training happy and fun it a great way to get through to the Yorkies. They may tend to get bored and it is important to make it a fun, positive experience for them. One way to teaching your Yorkie new tricks is by holding a small treat in your hand. Treats and lots of praise tend to work well with Yorkies. It also helps to have a good sense of humor because they will try to "outsmart" you. If starting with a puppy, Puppy Kindergarten is a great way to go. Not on
The puppy is wormed and has shots I'm sorry for the stupid question well know I have another one The guy has Maltese and Yorkies which breed should I get?

I'm kind of curious as to what you actually want… a Yorkie or "Jack La Laine?"
Yorkies are wonderful!!! Personality out the wahzoo! Great watch dogs!
Loyal and loving!
We got our Poppi, last year. He's the runt of his litter and wouldn't trade him for anything!

I have the choice between : Bichon Frise, Yorkshire Terrier, West Terrier, Pomerian.
The dog that needs the less of care? Eventually, if i get a Yorkie, i will cut his hair shorter, same thing for the West Terrier.
The principal terms :
The dog must be easy to train.
The dog must be friendly towards kids and elders.
The dog need the less care possible (that means the showering and the grooming)

Thanks a bunch!
For the West Terrier, it's a ''Westie'' or a West Highland White Terrier

Bichons need very specific grooming needs and are very expensive to groom and it just makes a mess. Yorkies need trims, too, monthly. Poms and Westies need very good groomers, they are constant shedders. So Yorkie probably needs the less work grooming-wise

The easiest dog to train: Probably the Pomeranian, ONLY because they rank higher (23) most intelligent dogs list, however intelligent doesn't always mean easy to train

Dog must be friendly towards kids and elders: Depends COMPLETELY on how it's raised. If it is raised badly, it will act badly towards everyone. If it is raised well, it will love people.

My suggestions for grooming:
Bichon- Bichon Cut
Pomeranian- Teddy Bear cut
Westie and Yorkie- Puppy Cut

Your groomer should know what these are and ask some basic questions about how you would like them to be groomed if you ask for these.

I hope you choose adoption

I am getting my daughter a yorkie puppy for her 16th bday and its 12weeks with all its shots and health gurantee.Anyways i realize they grow long hair and i know she loves dogs with puppy faces.Is there any special cut the puppy can get to keep looking like a puppy?

Yes! It's called the puppy cut

No kidding– one of the most popular cuts amongst groomers.

What they do is this– Trim around the face, keeping it scruffy. Shave the back area down a little bit shorter than the face, to mimic the natural way the puppies look.
