i have shown my pups UKC and AKC with waterfalls altho I never knew they were called that. LOL I do that until one year. I have "heard" that AKC does require a proper folded top knot over the age of one. Don't know if that is true or not either. All the standard says is that the hair is to be pulled to the top of the head and secured with a bow. Not exactly in those words. But it says nothing about the pouffy little topknots we all struggle to make. On the other hand, I have show 8-9 months old pups with proper topknots and they were sooo cute. Some pups at that age just don't have the hair to do it. |
