The most popular Yorkie boys hairstyles photos and descriptions

When does a Yorkie get its haircut for the first time?

There is no need to trim your Yorkshire Terrier and rush to get a model hairstyle. The wool of this breed resembles human hair in structure. In puppies it is thinner, sparse, and reaches the desired thickness and density by about 10-12 months from the date of birth.

Ask a Question

You can groom your Yorkie for the first time at the age of 4-6 weeks.

Procedures that are included in a hygienic haircut: trimming the length of hair on the ears, trimming the groin area are also preferably done in salons.

Selecting a location

There are several options for the first and subsequent haircuts of a Yorkie:

Invite an experienced craftsman to your home. A familiar environment will save the pet and owner from tedious waiting; the professional will bring all the tools with him.
Go to a specialized pet salon. This option is suitable for those who are willing to pay a tidy sum for the procedure.
Haircut at home in natural conditions. The cheapest way out. Suitable for animals that are afraid of strangers or behave aggressively in unfamiliar surroundings.

Types of Yorkie haircuts

In addition to a hygienic haircut, there are other types of hairstyles.

Cosmetic

It is not difficult to carry out the standard procedures for admission to the exhibition yourself at home. The hair in the groin and between the toes is removed, and the hair in the armpits and ears is shortened. The rest of the hair is trimmed and thoroughly combed.

Model

Popular model haircuts:

"Like a puppy." Coat length is 2-3 cm. Suitable for Yorkies in the summer. An adult male after the work of a master will look like a puppy, hence the name of the model.

"Like a schnauzer." Part of the animal's fur is shaved short with a clipper, the rest is trimmed with scissors.

Square. The master’s task is to shape the hair on the animal’s face into a square.

Chinese. This haircut option has several names (Korean style, kawaii model). The hairstyle turns the Yorkie's face into a cute toy. The hair behind the ears is left long, and the front side of the head is cut off and the cheeks are shaved. The hair on the neck and body is shortened to the maximum.

"Chinchilla" Suitable for dogs with coats of any color. Haircut technique: thin lines are cut along the body, reminiscent of hieroglyphs on chinchillas. After some time, the regrown fur falls into the pattern and looks impressive.

"French braid". A classic option for girls. The strip of wool along the Yorkie's back is not shortened, but braided.

"Like a poodle." Suitable for boy and girl. The pet's head is decorated in a circle without bangs; females are left with a tail on the top of the head.

"Under the Chinese Crested." This model is only suitable for girls. The dog retains long hair at the base of its paws, shaping it into a kind of flared pants. The Yorkie is left with long bangs on his head, which are recommended to be tied with a bow.

Peculiarities

Korean haircut is a classic of Asian grooming. This style is most suitable for miniature dogs with a friendly and cheerful character - these are the Shih Tzu, Yorkshire Terrier, Maltese, and Biewer breeds.

Thanks to their long hair, neat, not too flattened and elongated muzzle and general cuteness, they well fulfill the main purpose of a Korean-style haircut - to give the pet a doll-like charm.

The peculiarity of Korean Style is the detail of the image. The image of a “doll” should be supported by accessories and bright outfits. The pet in this case demonstrates its character, which is expressed in clothes and jewelry.

Grooming is a full range of actions for caring for a Yorkie.

Muzzle

Grooming your pet's face includes taking care of the area around the eyes, which is treated with special solutions to prevent inflammation.

The hair on a Yorkie's head is cut in the direction of hair growth, moving towards the back of the head. The area from the nose to the forehead is not trimmed, in this place the hair itself neatly lies along the parting.

Summer haircut

For a quality haircut you need to follow these steps:

We arm ourselves with the machine and select a nozzle for a long length (or at your discretion).
Gently holding the dog, we cut the back and sides - from the back of the head to the groin line.
We cut the hair on the neck and front of the chest.
Using a clipper, we even out the fur in the area between the front paws and the chest.
We move to the stomach, act carefully and make sure that the dog does not harm itself with a sharp jerk.
Using scissors with rounded blades, we shape the tail.
The next stage is the paw. The hair on the front legs is cut along the elbow line, the lower part of the hind legs is short, the riding breeches area is at your discretion (you can give it a rounded shape similar to the tail). The second option is to trim the fur on the paws along the bottom line; this is fraught with rapid tangles, but it looks more impressive.
Lastly, we cut the head and muzzle. Using a comb with long ends, we lift the hair one by one and cut it to the same length. The comb should move away from the muzzle. We shape eyebrows, sideburns, cheeks and chin. As a result, the contour of the head should tend to a round shape. For girls, you can leave a small section of long hair for tying a bow.

The final length of the wool depends on the direction in which you drive the machine. According to the coat the length is longer, against the length - less. Decide what outcome you want to achieve before starting the procedure. If you change directions during the cutting process, the length will be uneven, and you can trim it even further by shortening the hair.

Step-by-step instructions at home

If the owners do not have the opportunity to turn to professionals, the pet is groomed at home, following their recommendations step by step. You should also not skimp on materials and care products for the animal.

Required set of tools:

Hair clipper with attachments and replaceable blades.
Trimmer for removing hair in the groin area.
A set of scissors of different shapes - small with rounded tips, long straight and curved.
A mat cutter for removing matted wool.
Set of combs for grooming. It is important to pay attention to the material here. Plastic has the properties of electrifying the fur, which can cause discomfort in the pet. A massage comb made of natural bristles stimulates blood circulation.
Care products. Shampoos, balms, solutions for cleaning ears and for treating the skin around the eyes, oils: peach, burdock, grape seed.
Tools for trimming nails: guillotine nail cutter, nippers.

Combing

It is recommended to brush your Yorkie's coat every day.

Tools that professionals use when tidying up a dog’s hair:

Metal comb. It is used when finishing a Yorkie's haircut and for styling.

Creative

The long hair of Yorkshire terriers allows you to create unusual hairstyles. Often, with the help of a haircut, they imitate other breeds.

of the Chinese Crested haircut is the thick and long hair around the face. The ears are cut short and peek out from under the flowing strands. Also, the fluffy tips of the paws stand out against the background of an almost bald body. The haircut is beautiful, but not very practical. Requires daily brushing.

Yorkie boys are often given a schnauzer . The body, tail, back of the head and ears are cut short. The fur on the paws, cheeks and beard is of medium length. You should also leave thick eyebrows.

One of the most original and creative options is a chinchilla haircut. First you need to grow your body hair to medium length. A pattern is created on the fur in the form of transverse or diagonal stripes, imitating the color of a chinchilla. The distance between them should be the same. The fur on the face and paws is left of medium length.

Features of haircuts for boys and girls

The difference in choosing a model by gender depends only on the requirements, wishes and imagination of the owner. It’s hard to imagine a female Yorkie without a ponytail on her head, or a boy without a puppy or schnauzer haircut.

The long, well-groomed hair of Yorkies allows you to create hairstyles of any complexity: original braided braids, “skirts” or “pants”, intricate patterns. The more experienced the master, the more unusual solutions he can offer to furry clients.

Haircut frequency

General haircuts are carried out no more than once every 3 months. Repeating the procedure depends on the rate of hair growth, and it can be different in animals.

A hygienic haircut for a Yorkie is carried out once every 2-3 weeks.

Some stages of grooming require daily simple procedures - brushing, caring for the face and ears.

It is up to the owner to use the services of a pet salon, call a professional to your home, or give the Yorkie a haircut with his own hands. Hygienic cutting does not require great skills, but it is better to entrust the first model haircut to a specialist.
