 Yorkie Standard.....boys too!
According to the AKC. Standard it doesn't specify that only the females wear the topnots, males as well. Artie wears a ponytail or if we're going some where special it's in a topnot with a bow or a crown barette and I only put masculine colors and designs on him at all times, so it's very clear that he is a "Male". I also braid his tail and put a bow at the end of it that usually
coordinate's with his outfit.....yes I dress him too! During the Xmas Season, I put a tiny bell on his tail. I make it a point now to have all 3 (1 male & 2 females) to wear a topnot and I'm growing out all their hair/coats to be long, instead of "Puppy cuts". They seem to look prettier and prance around more?
I do all of their Grooming myself, I did it at first to save money but know it's because I don't trust anyone else to do it. So now it's a matter of pride since they represent me! Go Yorkies, Aloha |
