ASIAN FUSION
Yorkshire Terrier
LEXI
This tutorial by Sue demonstrates an extreme Asian Fusion–inspired groom on a Yorkshire Terrier, focusing on strong contrast, exaggerated shape, and a deliberately stylised finish. The groom features a very short body to emphasise length and movement, paired with full, animated legs and a carefully sculpted, doll-like head.
Sue explains the reasoning behind each design choice, including blade selection, coat direction, and proportion, while working through a groom that prioritises clarity of shape and visual impact. This style is bold by nature and intentionally pushes beyond everyday pet trims, making it a valuable reference for groomers exploring modern Asian Fusion techniques.
Part 1 The Body | Part 1 focuses on establishing the structure of the groom. Sue clips the body short to create a streamlined base, working carefully with the lay of the coat to achieve a smooth finish. She demonstrates how to clip into the flanks, chest, and undercarriage to separate the body from the legs visually.
The leg foundations are then set, with emphasis on wide feet, full lower legs, and a narrowed transition at the top to create an animated, doll-like effect. Blending techniques are introduced to maintain clean lines while preserving volume where it matters most.
Part 2 The Head and Front Legs | In Part 2, Sue refines the groom by shaping the feet, tidying the tail, and completing the head and ear styling. She demonstrates controlled clipper and scissor work on the ears, careful visor management to open the eyes, and the creation of a stylised Asian Fusion muzzle, including the signature “kissy lips” detail.
The tutorial concludes with final balancing, blending, and symmetry checks, ensuring the exaggerated elements work cohesively. Sue also discusses finishing touches and presentation, reinforcing how small details complete the overall look.
