Hi-
If you check with the standards both male and females have their hair up in a top knot. I have a male, Matise, and I get flack about it to because everyone thinks he is a girl and I just inform them that the standard calls for both male and females to have a top knot.
Matise always has his up in just an elastic around the house but when we go out he knows the drill he has to wait and then I put a bow in his hair he doesn't care I think he thinks he looks handsome. I have put bows in his hair since I got him and he never bothers them

Here is the link and it talks about it under the coat.

So I don't think you should feel bad and grow it out again if you want and put it up.

Kara and Matise

You can find boys bows if you want. Even little clips with cars or sunglasses types of things. I just use a band for around the house.
Here's one of my boys. His body is cut but the coat on his legs and head is still long. I think he looks like a guy in his "ponytail"

I just got chachi groomed and got the puppycut. I am gonna let it grow out now and will rubberband a topnot. No bows or barrettes though.

NCyorkie · 07-06-2005, 11:02 AM

My boys is 6 months too and I got tired of not seeing his eyes. I haven't done bows but I use colored bands...he doesn't mind it at all...neither does my husband. But then again, he had hair down to the middle of his back and wore it in a ponytail too til a few years ago! You can see Romeo's pictures on the photobucket account in my signature.

If anyone questions you . . . I would just inform them that all yorkies - male and female - are characterized by their topknot and that it is almost as traditional as yorkies with long coats.

Some owners choose to cut the topknot; others do not.

Decide which look you like and don't let anyone in your family persuade you otherwise!

Kara, Matise is very handsome! I love his hair!

CC's, your little guy is so adorable! You are right, he definitely looks like a boy in his topknot!

Carter looks so cute with his hair in a top-knot...and not girly at all. By the way...awsome pictures on his dogster page. You must be a pro at photography!

Yorkie Owned · 07-06-2005, 12:16 PM

Thanks everyone for the advise and sharing your pictures! (I LOVE looking at everyone's pictures- it's funny how individual each yorkie can look but yet every single one is just as adorable the next!

) I think all of your sweet baby boys look great with top knots and clips!
I will go forth with the top knot- they (the family) can learn to deal with it!

Missy's Mommy · 07-06-2005, 12:22 PM

Wow! What handsome boys you all have!

I really like Brutus' hair, I just might cut Max's bangs like that

I would really love for Max to have long hair like Carter's, his coat is amazing and he is only 1 yr, Max and Missy aren't too much younger than him and their coat isnt even close. Great pictures Lisa! I love your dogster page

Carters Mom · 07-06-2005, 12:31 PM

Stephanie:
Thanks!!!

Holly:

Thanks for the kudos! Actually, yes, I am a pro photographer but most of my images of my boys are snapshots. I really should take more photos of them than I do!

YorkieOwned:

I'm so glad that you decided to do what makes you happy! Your family will get used to it! I love Carter's hair being long. We're trying to get his bangs to grow out. Its a painful process for me but I'm sure the reward will be well worth it!

Jennette:

I really am trying to get Carter's coat to grow long. I did trim it yesterday though so that it would look "neater" --- just a tad on the bottom so that it wouldn't appear so straggly! Every moment I have the chance, I am brushing him after spraying the Plush Puppy Reviva Coat. I'm trying my best to keep his coat from drying out at the ends.

I put Chewy's hair up in a topknot and am quite obesessed with his grooming lately! I think it is fine for the boys - my husband won't allow bows but that's ok. If you click on Chewy's dogster link below, you can see his topknot ifyou want. Don't let anyone pressure you. The knots are cute

I just saw all of Chewy's pics on Dogster. He is so cute! I love his little tongue sticking out and his top knot too!

Bux's Momma · 07-06-2005, 10:31 PM

All of your pups are soo adorable! I wish that it wasn't 110 degrees in Texas so that I could let Bux's hair grow out!

I will in the winter though
I am so glad to read that those with boys are putting knots in, I want to so badly, but my bf says that it is too girlie. So, I just keep him puppy cut through these hot summer months

LvMyYorki · 07-07-2005, 05:30 AM

I just got all of Tino's hair cut off, but here are his before and after pics... I love Tino's topknot and just put boy bows in it!
