| No, not the only one. My Ben thinks he is some beagle or hounddog the way he roots around in the back yard. I gave up trying to keep a top knot in as they always took each others out. Even my Jack Russell, Candy will try to pull out Ben's bows. So, his hair is always a little on the wild side when long. I just had him cut short and what a difference. He actually is staying looking pretty good. I think I am going to stick with the shorter cut, even though I absolutely love the long flowing floor-length coat.

| For the most part I keep Oliver in a puppy cut, but right on his hips his hair always bushes out like ruffled feathers. I think it is so cute though!! |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I think finding the right cut is important. Joey has short hair on his body and longer hair on his legs, it looks fancy, but unlike all long hair it always looks pretty neat. I never could make a longer beard look neat. Joey chews Bully sticks several times during the day and they mess up his beard, but with short facial hair it's no problem.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | If I don't brush mine out each day and redo topknots they look a mess. I posted some pics of them yesterday looking out the window. This was before they were brushed that day. They look a mess.

| You're not the only one. Both mine look like they've wrestled with a monkey every day. I brush every day and try to put their bows in. Ally's bows stay in longer than Tia's. Tia's hair is wavey and Ally's is silky. Since it's been raining, I have a wet teddy bear and a wet rat. |

| Mine go to sleep looking like they stepped out of a spa and wake up with bed head and look like strays. They look so cute either way!

| We used to have a Yorkie we nicknamed Pigpen because no matter how much she was bathed etc, 5 minutes later she looked like a little Pigpen.

Yesterday i had her cut short and she does look a lot neater and cleaner, but i now miss her constant wild "doo"! Before she always looked like she needed a bath(even 15 minutes after she has one!)!

| Fluff bomb! I like that as well. Monkey will sit for hours and let me comb him and pamper him. The second his paws hit the ground he goes wild. I think he has a personal mission to make sure that not one piece of hair is in the same place I put it. I have NEVER been able to keep him in a top knot. He kind of stands on his head and pushes around with his hind legs. Peggy, Monkey & Maddie

| Messy? Did you see the pic I just posted about a bad hair day? It is not like that was a one time thing. ROFL. I like to refer to her as my wild child! She can look so pretty one minute and like a total mess the next. I have taken to calling her Dora, as in Dora the explorer. She is on a constant mission to to explore every little nook and cranny of our house or yard, and to root her way through the world.

| HAHA! Levi is always a mess. He runs around nonstop, slams his face down in his water bowl, and rolls around in mud. I keep his hair pretty short, but he still looks like a mess most of the time. He's just a wild man, and I'm okay with that. But I do tend to only post pictures of his nicely-brushed, post-bath self.
