Jazz is a Yorkie.
Grooming her is a challenge because her one rear leg is badly crippled, even though she is only a young adult and full of energy she can't burn off.
(Hereditary condition. Please research before buying a pup and make sure the parents have pertinent health testing. )

I came across this and had to share for laughs:

Dog tags ring, are you listening'?
In the lane, snow is glistenin'.
It's yellow, NOT white I've been there tonight,
Marking up my winter wonderland.
Smell that tree? That's my fragrance.
It's a sign for wandering vagrants;
Avoid where I p*e, it's MY pro-per-ty!
Marked up as my winter wonderland.
In the meadow dad will build a snowman,
following the classical design.
Then I'll lift my leg and let it go Man,
So all the world will know that it's
mine-mine-mine!
Straight from me to the fence post,
flows my natural incense boast;
Stay off my TURF, this small piece of earth,
I marked it as my winter wonderland."

Today, the Repawsitory welcomes Caroline Almaraz (), a professional groomer, sharing some key thoughts on the importance of grooming schedules.
Grooming is so much more than a bath, cute haircut, and festive bandana. Grooming is an important part of your dog’s health and well-being. Many people don’t think of making a grooming appointment until they notice the mounds of fur on the floor, or the once-cute haircut is out of control and/or matted and tangled beyond what a brush or comb can repair. My recommendation to all my clients is to stick to a monthly schedule regardless of the service.
Let me explain why:
Relationship and bonding: Not every dog loves a bath and a blow dry; it’s possible that’s one of the reasons pet owners hesitate in committing to a schedule. But establishing a trusting relationship between a groomer and your pup through frequent, regular appointments is key to success and your pet's physical and emotional comfort.
Creating a routine: Most dogs love their routines; I know mine do. My Bedlington Terrier, Charlotte, has a weekly Spa Day. She looks forward to the extra love and of course the treats that she gets afterwards. Creating routines can actually help reduce anxiety, your dogs don’t have to worry about what is about to happen next. Imagine the dog that only gets taken to the groomer when it’s fur is severely matted or has a heavy undercoat impaction. The process can then be scary and uncomfortable. This poor pup doesn’t have a routine or know what to expect. This can cause severe anxiety and produce trust issues in the dog. Groomers love to introduce a grooming training process and routine for your dog, but it’s not effective unless the owner will commit to a schedule. If your dog is fearful or misbehaves at the groomer, please discuss a schedule with your groomer. These are the dogs that actually would benefit the most from coming more frequently and creating a relationship with an experienced, professional groomer.
Grooming is a must for all seasons: It’s so important to maintain a grooming schedule through all four seasons. Many times clients skip grooming appointments during the winter months. The client’s thought process being it’s cooler out and they’ll just grow the coat out and catch up when spring or summer arrives. In actuality, if a client wants to grow the coat out, the more frequently that pup needs grooming maintenance to avoid matting and fur impaction. Mats form when fur becomes tangled and wraps around itself forming tightly wound clumps of loose dead fur mixed with live fur. The same type of situation happens to double coated dogs, such as Shepherds or Huskies. That fluffy, soft undercoat gets tangled and packed close to the skin, and forms an impacted fur condition. If mats and impacted fur are not thoroughly brushed out, the tangled fur will become tightly knotted against the dogs skin causing pain, irritation, and broken skin which allows bacteria a direct route into the body. In addition, matting and impaction prevents proper airflow interfering with your pups ability to regulate their body temperature. Also, a canine’s skin goes through a 21 day growth cycle. If dead cells are not washed and removed, the dog will start to smell or the debris may begin to cause skin infections.
Sticking to a regular grooming schedule will not only lead to successful, enjoyable visits at the groomer, but will improve your dogs skin and coat! Grooming is not all about appearances, it is also very much about your dog's health and comfort.
