No matter where I put that band... forward, further back, doesn't matter... the long tail still flops down forward over her eyes. I think Tatum's hair is a little thinner up there so we don't have a real luxurious topknot. It's gotten worse since we've gotten Stormie (the Australian Shepherd puppy) because they play so hard and Stormie gets ahold of Tatum's hair - usually by accident - it gets tangled in her teeth. But I think we've had some breakage around the topknot because of it so we are kinda taking a rest from pulling it up too often.

I have the groomer leave the hair just alittle longer on the head so I can still put a topknot in. The body I quess is a puppy cut. I just tell them a yorkie cut. It looks real cute.

How much hair do you pull up in a top noth? Giget has a pouppy cut but her hair is getting long on her head....my hubby told me that I had to put it up or we needed to trim her so I wanted to know how much hair goes up? do you take it as far back as her hears are or do you take hair from further back? and then how much in the front....I know it will probobly be hard to explain but any help will be good....she is looking a mess over here.
