I have no idea what to tell them to do...do you just give your dog to them and they know what to do?
I want something that will look cute, (I am very girly I dress her up every now and again), will last for a while, keep the hair out of her eyes, help out her 'teary eyes.'....etc.
What can I tell them to do?

Most groomers are used to this. Alot of people have no idea what to tell us. Decide how long you would like to leave her coat. If she isn't all matted up, you can have her hair as long as you want. Any length from a shave (not with a Bic razor), to a puppy cut--any thing not a shave. Shaved leaves the coat flat, puppy cuts are any length longer than a shave that leave the coat fluffy. Tell them you would like to see her eyes again, trim her nails, pull her ear hair and clean her ears, do a sanitary trim, bath, blowdry, and just make her look cute. If he or she is a decent groomer, they can handle it. My favorite is when an owner tells me to make the dog look cute, groomers choice, I like to call it. If its puppys first groom, dont expect too much. Alot of the time puppies are really nervous and not very cooperative. A good groomer will not hold the puppy down and force the dog to do it, they will have you do some practicing at home. You can prep your pup today if you have an electric toothbrush introduce her to the feeling of the vibrations on her body, this is much the same as the electric clippers that the groomer will use. You can also take your scissors and make the open/close noise of them around her head and face. Not to close, but enough so that she knows that its not the end of the world when the groomer attempts this tomorrow. One day may not be enough prep time, or she may not need any prep at all, all dogs are a little different from one another when it comes to grooming. You may feel more comfortable staying at the grooming salon to watch. Some salons will allow this, and some will not. Id be a bit nervous if they do not allow owners to observe the grooming. Puppy may not be able to handle you being there, so see how it goes. Sometimes they will struggle to get to mom, and others will not care one bit. Good luck! Also, if you are going to keep up with the combing and knots, you can grow the hair on top of her head longer and keep it tied up in a topknot, with a bow, it doesnt get much cuter than that. I love a topknot and a little pink bow on a yorkie!

On the subject of Yorkies and the grooming, yes there's various grooming reqcuired. Just a little tiny knot explanations really dangerous matting. Making certain the enamel is in good form. Nails...All of the other good stuff. If you want to get a yorkie, I suggest doing a little study and discover a liable breeder. They've carried out genetic testings on the male and female. You will discover the mothers and fathers on site and the doggies or adults that you need to purchase are all up to date on pictures and are spayed/nuetured. If you are not able to find a breeder then are trying at a rescue or refuge. Good success!

Yorkie's are high maintenance pups. Your groomer will know what to do and will work with you on finding the "cutest" cut for your dog. Just make sure to have the ears shaved and plucked (The ears should be trimmed along the edges and the top third should be shaved into a V shape on the outside of the ear and also on the inner side of the ear. ), the anal area and the hair on the bottom of the feet trimmed.

while it is composed of Yorkies and the grooming, specific there is a variety of of grooming reqcuired. purely slightly tiny knot reasons truly undesirable matting. making beneficial the enamel is in sturdy shape. Nails...all the different sturdy stuff. in case you elect to get a yorkie, I propose appearing slightly learn and stumble on a responsible breeder. they have executed genetic testings on the male and lady. you will discover the mothers and dads on web site and the domestic canine or adults which you particularly decide to purchase are all as much as this element on photographs and are spayed/nuetured. in case you won't be in a position to discover a breeder then attempt at a rescue or take care of. sturdy success!

You could ask for 1 inch of hair left on the body with scissored legs, and a topknot to keep the hair out of your pup's eyes.

I'd recommend whats called a "puppy cut" , round around the face and close to the body, unless you want her to have the long coat you seen in shows (which is hard to maintain and keep clean) Most pet yorkies receive the puppy cut, and I think its adorable. Ask your groomer what they think, thats what they get paid to do.

A puppy cut! They will make all of the hair one length, but not too short, so she'll still be a cutie, and they will cut the hair between her eyes.
Alternately, ask about a teddy bear cut! That is adorable too!

They will know what to do. You can tell them what you want and they will do their best between what you want and what they think it should look like.
