puppy cuts

[blowry]

Hi Girls!

I asked this on YT and as usual my post got LOOKED at but not responded to...,I think I'm getting tired of YT. Too many newbies that ask the same questions all the time and seems to be getting "clicky"....

Anyway..........It's time for me to cut Lillie's hair She has a beautiful long silver coat but it matts terribly...I have to brush it twice a day to keep the matts out, and even then she still gets them. I LOVE her look but, her nails get caught in it when she runs, poop gets stuck in it (even though I keep the bum area really short), she matts from ANYTHING I put on her...including her harness and when she is out side playing EVERYTHING gets stuck in her hair....I want to cut her myself ! I don't trust alot of the groomers and Lillie is very sensitive...I would like to know if any of you here have ever groomed your babies yourself and what size clipper guide you used. I don't want to cut her really really short...I was thinking maybe a size 1 inch clipper guide? Please give me your suggestions...

Thanks girls! Hope it's ok to ask Yorkie stuff on WT
