Top knot Curious as to others protocol on changing out their yorkies top knot. Everyday, every other day, etc... I always have issues with the hair knotting very quickly, I think if I did it everyday I can minimize it or I am doing something incorrectly when tying it. Cheers |

1 Attachment(s) My kiddos have short hair now, so no top knots for us. When they were on the show circuit it was every day and on show days multiple times. Here's a pic of Lacie. |
In the house I use claws or barrettes, when we go out I use latex rubber bands. To answer your question, regardless of what I use, I brush and comb his hair every morning making sure all little knots are out, otherwise it gets matted whether it's a claw, barrette or latex band. |
Thanks for posting members. So it looks like I'm not alone with the knotting and my best bet is to address it on a daily basis. I wish we could use something simple like a claw or barrette but emmi would have those out before she hit the floor running. She is rough and tumble right now, hope she mellows as time goes along. Always into something. Only 10 months and it seems as though she has been here foreverrrrrr. Right now we use what I think are the latex bands. They are about a half inch round and they have a really good stretch to them. Very thin also. Lacie is beautiful chattiesmom!!!! Emmi's coat is slowly changing from the puppy coat and sooo thick compared to prior yorkie. She is definitively not show material but I think her coat is going to be beautiful as time goes along. She is a chocolate but some of her colors/markings are really nice. The misses says I have an obsession with hair because I like to keep it long, lol. Cheers and thanks |
I wish Gidget would let me put her in a top knot but she REFUSES. I tried this from day one and she's not gotten any better about having anything put in her hair. Oh, well...… |
Thank you for this information. Katy is my first Yorkie. I have now started redoing her Top Knot Daily when I do her daily grooming. I have also found, and Thank You for this too, that working with that Top Knot each day is also a VERY good Training Section for.....No, <laughs and winks> and Hold. Actually, she really is getting so much better at those. Can I ask????? How often do each of you, really, bathe your Yokies? The Yorkie Books I have read said/say every 3 weeks, I think Katy could use this more often. |

Katy hated sitting for Top Knots too, as well as Nail Trimming, too. She IS getting better. I just look at both as Training. The other day when I did her nails, she may have wetted MY pants a little, but settled down after a few minutes and before the 'ordeal' was over. I do the front feet, then later in the day, do the back feet. Two training sections, not as stressful for puppy all at once. |

OH MY GOODNESS! Lovely, Lovely Dog! Can you tell me???? Did, when on the Show Circuit, did you KEEP her hair in rollers? When you put a coat on her in Winter, did she have her hair rolled under the coat? |

Claw? As in the Hair things that look like, and we used to call, Combs? |

I have attached pictures of the tops and sides of what the claw looks like, they come in all sizes. I started with the wee little one while Cody's hair was growing in, the larger one is what we use in the house. If you use this on Katy you have to watch she doesn't get it out of her hair and chew it, it's really tiny. I don't use the tiny ones anymore. Cody's hair has grown in a longggg time ago. You can also buy scissors to cut those latex bands, I attached photos of it, I bought mine from one of YT members mimimomo her web-site is www.toplinepet.com |

Ok, yeah. I see now. I just did not know what these were called. I use these for Barbie as well as other Dolls; I have a Youtube Channel, Doll Restoration, called Dolls Rescued. I do a monthly Craft Video, showing how to 'recycle used dolls', and make things for them, with some kids, one is my Granddaughter that lives across the State from us.....it is a way to send her stuff and keep in touch with her. As well as teaching her to hand sew and other crafting.....this coming video, I am sending some of these and little curlers, teaching them to do a do for Barbie. <grins and winks> I have tried these Claws in Katy's hair, as well as barrettes, but at this point she scratches those out. I figure get her used to the 'rubber bands' and used the Top Knot, then change to these sorts of items. THANK YOU for taking the time to show photos of what the Claw is. I really appreciate the help in learning how to do all this, and care for, my Tiny Dog. |
Your site sounds interesting! Anyway, for Dixie, I use rubber coated rubber bands and fix each day. For dress she gets a bow. |
