The teddy bear cut on a Yorkshire Terrier (Yorkie) replaces the breed's signature long, silky coat with a short, rounded style that's far easier to manage. The Yorkie's fine, human-hair-like coat creates a sleek teddy bear finish that highlights their alert, spirited expression.

Yorkshire Terriers Teddy Bear Cut FAQ

What does a teddy bear cut look like on a Yorkie?

A Yorkie teddy bear cut rounds the head into a ball shape, with the ears kept short and poking through the round face. The body is trimmed to 1-1.5 inches, and the legs are scissored round. The typical steel-blue and tan colouring adds visual interest to the rounded shape. It's a dramatic but practical change from the traditional long coat.

How much does a Yorkie teddy bear cut cost?

A Yorkie teddy bear cut costs $50-$80 in Australia. Yorkies are small, so grooming prices are on the lower end. However, their fine coat tangles easily, and matted Yorkies may incur surcharges.

How often should a Yorkie be groomed?

Every 4-6 weeks. Yorkie hair grows continuously (similar to human hair) and tangles easily due to its fine, silky texture. Brush every 2-3 days with a pin brush, paying attention to behind the ears and under the legs.

General Yorkshire Terriers Grooming Tips

Brush your Yorkie daily to prevent tangles in the fine, silky coat. Use a pin brush and detangling spray. Keep the topknot tied up or trimmed to keep hair out of the eyes. Regular trims around the feet prevent slipping.
