| As soon as I got her home. I think the earlier you introduce it, the easier it is on them. Susanah is very familiar with clothes. Now we've just got to get the hair on her head to grow long enough for a topknot.

| My little Daisy has been wearing clothes probably not long after she came home (at 12 weeks). You want them in clothes young so they get used to it. The topknot, I haven't had that on her yet. She's 9 months now. I like her hair short but with a little on the head for maybe a pretty pink bow.

| I never really put top knots on my Heidi..i did once...but she obviously didn't like it and rolled and rolled and rolled until she had a big mess on top of her head!! so i never tried again...I should think it's something you should start from as young as possible...as soon as the hair is long enough to tie up? I think thats the mistake i made with Heidi..i didn't start doing it when she was very young but i always kept her hair very short anyway. With my new girl (when i do finally find her!) i will start as soon as possible! I think it's the same with clothes..i plan to start putting little T-shirts and jumpers on as soon as i bring the new baby home but i would never force her to wear something if she really wasn't happy with it.

| I started when I brought them home also. When they were young I only put them in small grooming bows

| I started as soon as I got them at 10 weeks. They didn't like it all when I first did it. Tessa freaked out the most...she acted like I was burning her with something...lol. Now at 16 weeks they let me put it in with no problem. People like to wait until their hair gets longer to put them in...but you need to start them as young as possible so they get used to having their hair done. |

| I started as soon as Penny came home. Although her top knot leaves a lot to be desired. I can't wait till it's really long enough. Right now she looks like a sheep dog.

| I found a wonderful lady on Ebay that handmakes bows, all different styles and colours, traditional red show bows, and she makes tiny little ones for very small yorkies and puppies. I bought some out of curiosity..even though i don't have a Yorkie baby yet!...i wanted to see what they were like, i got a pack of 10 for £4.00 and £0.90p postage..they are GORGEOUS! the ones i got are pinks/reds and lavendar coloured. I will definately be buying from her again in again in the future!

| I started trying to get a top knot on Izzie as soon as I got her. During the day while I'm gone she doesn't wear one though...Don't want her possibly pulling the rubberband/barrette out (which she knows how to do) and possibly choking. Same with clothing, she mostly is naked during the day but does have a dress on in the evenings and weekends.
