(de-matting $15.00 extra) Most Yorkies that are Pets are kept with shorter cuts, 2in-4in over the whole body. Trimming their hair needs to be done about every 3 to 4 months or so. Care should be taken to keep the coat tangle free by combing out your Yorkie every day. It takes about 1 hour or so to completely bathe and groom your Yorkie. Knots and tangles occur mostly in certain spots such as under the front legs, the underneath, and behind the ears. Teach your Yorkie Puppy to learn to lie on a grooming table or on your lap, with his/her head towards you. Gently ease out the knots with your fingers and remove the loose bits of matts. Gently comb out with a steel comb starting with the troubled spots first. If the coat is not taken care of properly and allowed to grow long it will only matt and tangle, and it will become terribly painful for your Yorkie. Most Yorkie's love to be groomed, and are so small that it only take a bit of your time to groom him/her everyday. Brushing Your Yorkie A throrough Brushing, Brush with the growth of the hair to clean the surface coat. Brush stiffly against the hair to clean the undercoat and massage the skin. But do so gently. Brush the hair back to the original position. This may be fun and pleasant for your Yorkie. Grooming Supplies Natural Bristle Brush Wide Narrow Comb Spray Bottles for the coat Baby powder or Corn Starch Tangle Remover spray or lotion Hair Control. If your Yorkie’s coat is long then you will need wrapping paper, Rice paper or Wax Paperol spray Rubber Bands - for topknot, or wrapping. Hair Bows Knitting needle - for parting the hair down the back Nail Clippers All these help to maintain a Healthy Coat, and keep your Yorkie looking great! Bathing Your Yorkie Comb out all the matts, and insert a wad of cotton in each ear. Wet your Yorkie down with warm water, but be careful not to get water in his eyes. Apply soap, and produce a good lather, ( never rub your Yorkies coat ) followed by a good rinsing. Apply a good conditioner, and let sit on the dog for a few minutes. Rinse your dog really well, and do it one more time to make sure no residue is left in the coat. Drying Your Yorkie Let the water run off, I let my Yorkies stand in the Tub for a few minutes to get rid of the excess water. Wrap your Yorkie in a towel, and gently squeeze the coat. Turn on your Dryer to warm up a bit, and then start blow drying your Yorkie. Start on one side of your Yorkie and then blow dry the other side. Do this for the stomach, head, chest and legs. Gently brush your Yorkie in the direction of the growth of coat, drying the chest downwards. Place your Yorkie on the table and brush the coat towards you by brushing downwards. Make sure he/she is completely dry. Drying the Yorkie legs is done by holding the dogs feet, do this as gently as possible. Most Yorkies love to be groomed especially if you start them with daily brushing, and you should bath them every week. Don't forget, blow-dryers get Blow-dry your pup at a Far Distance!!! Grooming the Whiskers If your Yorkies whiskers get dirty, between baths you may rinse them off in a small bowl with dry paper towels. Eyes If you have a Yorkie whose eyes run, clean them daily with warm water, and a cotton ball soaked in warm water and squeezed out. Apply gently. Some people apply a small amount of Vaseline under the eyes, I just clean their eyes daily if there is a problem. (Ashley Tisdale Toting her Director Tony Ortega's Yorkie named "Manly") Ears Check the ears daily for any problems. Cotton swabs work great dipped in Olive Oil, or you can use paper towels. DO NOT dig down into the Yorkies ear, as this may cause damage because their ears are very sensitive. Twirl the cotton swab instead of rubbing inside the ear. To trim the hair inside the ears you may use Eye Brow tweezers but they are very sharp, and care must be taken when pulling out any hair that is inside the ear canal. You might want to ask your Vet to help you with this. Only the outsides of the Yorkies ears are trimmed with scissors. You have to be very careful as the yorkies ears are very thin and you can easily cut a piece of the ear off. You might want to leave this to a professional if you don't have much experience grooming yorkies. (Brittany Spears with her Yorkie) Here's a little fun fact for you: Did you know that the Yorkshire Terrier gets along amazingly with cats? Why, it's the terrier within the dog that is curious like a cat. Got a cat? Get a Yorkie! Got mice? Get a Yorkie! Got cockroaches...Better call your exterminator! Don't forget to exercise your yorkie. I recommend walking or running over skateboarding! TOO CUTE...MEET THE "DANC'N DOGS! |

| Purchase a good conditioner! You don't want your yorkies fur to be coarse like this little stuffed animal. (Smile) |
| Along with getting your yorkie accustomed to brushing, a nylabone is ideal for keeping tartar build-up off your pups teeth. Cowhide bones are dangerous, small pieces can be ingested and caught in the intestines causing severe health issues. |
Plaque is formed by the food debris and bacterial deposits left on teeth. Due to the high carbon dioxide and PH levels in the mouth, minerals precipitate quickly on the plaque to form calculus. Brushing your dogs teeth regularly, will help diminish plaque formation. |
