Yorkshire Terriers have straighter, dense, fine hair without waves, with a silky smooth texture. The body hair length is moderate, but we often see show dogs with hair dragging on the ground, with golden hair hanging from the face.

Yorkshire Terrier (detailed introduction)

Maintaining the gloss and smoothness of a Yorkshire Terrier's entire coat requires a lot of time and specialized techniques.

Stiff bristle brush, medium wide-toothed comb, pin brush

Grooming Tips

Long hair requires professional care

Grooming Steps

1. Brush the hair; use detangling tools and detangling cream if necessary to avoid pulling the hair too hard

2. Trim the dog's nails, clean the ears and teeth

3. Remove excess hair inside the ears

4. To protect hair quality, use appropriate shampoo when bathing, along with conditioners to improve hair quality

5. While blow-drying, continually comb with the pin brush until completely dry

6. Spray conditioner and brush the entire coat smoothly with a bristle brush

7. Trim the ear edges neatly about one-half inch from the ear tip with scissors

8. Pet dogs can be trimmed in a poodle lamb cut style, some owners trim them into a schnauzer style

9. Show dogs need frequent grooming; use nourishing oils on long hair and wrap the long hair to prevent breakage and help hair grow shiny and long.
