| Bows for Boys? Since I am in serious talks with a breeder about FINALLY purchasing my baby boy... and at a DECENT price... I had a question about bows. I am planning on the "puppy cut" for a while of course, but when my little boy's hair gets long do you think it's acceptable to pull it back from his eyes with a bow? Or is that too girly? Should I stick with something more plain? I'm sure many would say this is a personal choice, but I was just wanting some feedback. Does anyone here put bows on their boys? |

| Rocco had a top knot and bow for years...I would buy 'boy colors'. I love orange, cobalt blue, black and red bows. I finally cut his top knot about 6 months ago. I should add he didn't always wear bows, in the picture on the left (my icon) he has a clear hair band,

| I think boys are adorable with bows. You can find some very manly ones which helps make it not seem so girly. Here are some adorable boy bows: M'Lady's Dog Bows - Boy Bows Page 1 |

| I was actually thinking about using the bows from Build-A-Bear. Would they work if I decide to go that way? I know my mom and dad are going to call him girly boy if I decide to go with bows, but I guess I'll get over it! lol |

| I think he'd look fine with bows just as long as their "boy" colors. If they help to keep the hair out of their eyes, then who cares what people say! They look cute either way! |

| Yes, I keep my little boy's bangs up in a bow so his hair does not lay on his eyes and he looks so much cuter with a bow. I have premade ones and ones that I make myself. Color is what I think looks good on him, even pink or a rosey color. He loves to look cute! |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Joey had the puppy cut for a while, but I fell in love with the topknot, and wished I had grown it out from the beginning. It seems like their hair grows so fast as a puppy. A topknot is proper for a male or female yorkie, and for every day use, I just use a band with a tiny clip. Ladymom makes boys for boys with a masculine theme. Here are some of her boy bows. M'Lady's Dog Bows - Boy Bows Page 1

| I think bows for boys are okay.... I'd just stay away from the pinks and purples. |

| With my boy also the name of Max, I pull his hair up as I do the girls, however I don't always use a bow but I have and nothing wrong with it at all. I have all males in my home (hubby, 3 sons) who say ahh don't do that to Max but hey he is a babydoll no matter and a bow don't change nothing. I say put that bow right on that little boy. |

| Yes, Bubba wears bows - here's a couple pix of him. We love M'Lady's Bows too! One of our favorites has a red race car on it - but I guess I somehow don't have a picture of him in that!

| I just tell people that Bubba is man enough to wear a bow! That usually shuts them up
