To bow or not to bow? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

i don't see anything wrong with it. I put bows in my males hair when I want them to look extra pretty. i made a topknot for Renny just a few minutes ago and put a pretty red show bow in to get him used to it since I will soon be showing him.

I don't see any reason not to let boys wear BOY Bows.....My boys are working on it as we speak...

Love bows on both boys and girl yorkies!

I really want to bow Wid's hair when it's long enough. Question is: How do I get hubby to agree? LOL!

Just tell him to deal with it! Bows do serve a purpose with our yorkies - it keeps the hair from falling in their eyes. Lacy's hair is a mess without a bow

LOL! Done!! (Although they do have to look boy-ish!)

I love bows on my little boy Sugar. My daughter refuses to let me put them on her baby Spike though. The picture of him in my avatar is the one and only time he ever wore one and it was because she was at school.

I think boys look adorable in bows! Here's my Sugar modeling some.

I put bows in Bubba's hair - blue or plaid or something not girly looking.

Yes, people make comments about my 2 "girls" but I say no, he's a boy - another chance to educate the general public

on the ways of a Yorkie!

I have been waiting and waiting for his hair to grow enough to hold a bow. I normally just keep it banded (and b/c he's still so young, I have to band his hair too close to his eyes for a bow) but I have already ordered numerous bows (w/ a duck, pearls, and have even ordered yellow bows). When I took him to a groomer for a bath and foot pad clippings, she pulled it back in 2 places with the 2nd spot on top of his head in a bow. I have tried to duplicate her without success. As a matter of fact, I am going to try to include a pic of my efforts. The bow didn't even last an hour (I have a really hard time with the bands b/c they are so small and hard to get my fingers to wrap enough hair for them to stay, but I am not giving up!).

Toto wears bows sometimes. His hair is long and I keep him in a top knot all of the time. I use "little girls hair bands". They are covered with a soft chenille (sp) covering and do not break his hair. I got them at the Dollar Store. 100 in a pack for $1. I'm getting ready to give him a haircut, if I can figure out how to go about it, but I will leave the top knot
