Bows on boys?? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Suze225 · 01-26-2011, 10:14 PM

Hello all,

Just wondering how many of you use bows for your boys? I found some that are just too cute, but my daughters are having a fit, that I would consider putting a bow on a boy. My boy will have a long coat, and how else do you keep their hair out of their eyes if not with a bow???

I haven't gotten my boy YET, but we are getting very close.......keeping fingers crossed that we should be getting him maybe this weekend!!!!! Wohoooooo. I am so excited!

when Gulliver will sit still long enough to let me do something with his hair

I use either just plain rubber bands or a very simple bow in a "boy" color. And of course all the show yorkies always wear bows, male or female. I also use the metal baby snap clips. He's still got a few hairs that aren't long enough to go into a band so a couple of the the snap clips work really well.

Yes! Both my boys wear bows every day. If I don't have a bow around, then I use a band.

Sometimes.

If you keep a boy in full coat..he will need some type of top knot.

Here is a pic of one of my boys with a bow......

OMG What beautiful boys!!

I don't have a boy...but if I did....I'd DEFINITELY put a bow in his hair!! There's several peeps here on YT that make adorable bows for boys!! Can't wait to see pics of your new baby!! woohoo!!

I use bows, or just a band like he is in my avatar

I only use manly bows of course, blues, reds, bumble-bees

though he does have some pretty purple ones as well

Don't let your daughters tell you what to do, check out my albums, I've got some cute pics with Rizzo rocking bows

I was thinking the same thing, Harley never sits still to have his hair done.

I've got a boy and his hair is often in his face. I don't like bows for boys. Even the boy themed ones (sports, trucks, etc). If you do decide to go with a top knot then I would suggest only a band with no frills.

I saw a yorkie the other day and I was blown away by how gorgeous he was. He had the long hair, she carried him on the for arm. What really caught me was to keep that long hair out of his face he had a braid that went down the back of his head and down one side. I must admit it looked very impressive

elemtchr99 · 01-27-2011, 05:59 AM

I don't have a boy, but if I did he would wear a bow as much as Sophie does. LOVE a boy in a cute boy!!!

shodanusmc · 01-27-2011, 06:32 AM

Interesting question. I will have to find some Camo material for Marge to use, before she puts the firl stuff on him

licricket · 01-27-2011, 08:27 AM

I use a boy for my boy (as shown in my avator) and it stays in, but my little girl will not keep a bow or a band in at all. My Gio manages to pull it out of her hair as soon as it is put in!

I use teensy claw clips for Marcel and Pfeiffer. Wylie doesn't wear a top-knot bc he prefers to look tougher than the others...a clip/bow would interfere with his mojo.
