Bows or no bows for boys?????? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

luvmymolly · 12-13-2008, 08:09 AM

Okay, so I'm thinking about getting a male companion for my Molly (NOT FOR BREEDING PURPOSES). Is it okay to put bows on boys is my question? I think it would be okay if they were blue, green, yellow or even white and I ran the idea by my husband and he thinks it's stupid. I think it would be precious but he doesn't agree with me. Any thoughts or opinions??

Lots of people put bows on their boys and I think it looks great. The only reason I don't put them on my 2 boys is that they tear them off each other

I think bows for boys are actually pretty frequent. Walker doesn't wear them, he has a mohawk

mostly since he would eat them. i can barely get him to not eat his collar...leash...tail.

My male wear bows and I don't think its a problem . Very soon , I'll buy little outfits for him and the girls .

Boy yorkies can carry it off! I've seen some very handsome little guys with bows - they wear them well

my son won't even let me put a top knot in Johnny's hair...guess we're lucky he's got very fine hair that doesn't grow much or it would always be in his face

My Husband doesnt like bows on our male so he got me a female to put bows on

In the show ring, all yorkies wear bows, it's standard for a yorkie whether male or female. There are many bows made especially for boys, Ladymom member makes some really cute ones. M'Lady's Dog Bows - Boy Bows Page 1 And don't men wear bow ties with their tuxedos? I don't think George Clooney looks stupid in a bow.

I would always let the groomer put a bow on Mac. He looks so cute with them, but my family always made fun of him

...My son said the cat was even laughing at him! Thats why I got my Maci!.(one reason).Just wait till I find her Christmas dress!...I wish there was a type a bow or clip that had like a truck or something on them!

Whoops I missed the post before mine..those are manly! I might need to order him some!

My hubby LOVES when I put bows in my little girl's hair, but HATES it if I even suggest putting one on my little boy.

Men...

You know, there are a lot of cute boy outfits for boys. Maybe he can have a sportier look. Little ski jackets, sports jerseys, that kind of thing.

Bandanas look masculine!

My husband says the same thing about boys and bows, it's all in their heads and how society tries to make us....I say do what you want, a lot of people put bows on their boys...I don't on mine because he refuses to keep bows in his hair, but believe me, I've tried.

jdonica · 12-13-2008, 04:27 PM

I do sometimes put bows on Harley, we call them his "man bow". I had bows made for him by Darlin Bouxs and he has one with a motorcycle, one camo one with a helicopter, a soccer one in my daughters team colors, and a great fall bow with a pumpkin. Just contact her and she will make whatever you want, she is great!
