The funny thing is most of you preach the word that your dogs are like your children yet I bet you would never stick a bow in your little sons hair and grow his hair long to make him look like a little girl.....right? Im just throwing this out in light of alot of IMO dumb comparisons i have read on this site in my time here.

They are not "REAL" children even tho some of us treat them like it (including myself) so I seriously doubt that their little yorkie friends are going to make fun of them and give them a complex at the playground

I have to agree with that one.

Although, I'd personally let a son grow his hair long if he wanted to. If he wanted a bow, go for it! lol...

I tried a bow with Duke and hubby said to take it out.
Have not tried with Gizmo yet, but now I have a little girl to dress up.

That was her point, and I think she made it quite well.

It isn't like we'd let our sons/daughters eat dog food or lick their butts either.

but wait if thats what they want to do then why not let them right? sounds like you are contradicting your self. But anyway lets not get into useless arguments and agree that anyone should be able to put anything they want on their dogs ooook?

Oh yes... because I'd let a son grow his hair long, I'd also of course let him eat dog food and lick his butt?

All I said is that I'd let a son grow his hair long. There is quite a difference between length of hair, and things like nutrition and being sanitary. That's just common sense.

My fiance's tiny nephew has an adorable head of curls, and people may mistake him for a girl - but it is seriously too cute to have it cut off.

Funny, since the mother would like to have it cut, but everyone begs her not to.

There are some very "masculine" bows and outfits for male dogs. There are Harley Davidson leashes, tags, jackets, etc., rocker clothes, sports clothes and so on.

Max won't wear anything in his hair, but I bought some black bows, barrettes and rubber bands. They look nice sitting on the shelf!

He also won't wear clothing. He freezes and puts his head down. I just don't think it's that important since he really doesn't want them on him. He does wear either a black hoodie, a Yankee jacket, or a really cool red velvet vest with tigers embroidered on it - very male - when it's cold outside. He likes hose, but would not wear the cutest, warmest black parka.

It's all up to the owner, I think.

Thank you for the link!!

It looks like I'll be getting a pup around November/December - so a lot of those themed bows would be great.

Still not sure about what gender I'll get... not even sure what will be available yet.

They also have some cool sunglass bows that I love to put on them in the summer.

and besides being stunning - your 2 look ALL boy to me !

I have girls but ...IF I had a male I would bow him. First - it keeps the hair out of their eyes - and 2nd - it's CUTE and 3rd - there's so many Bows out there why not do it ? Did I mention it's cute ???

Boys wearing bows has nothing with gender - it's simply a look and I think they wear it very well. I didn't see anyone getting snippy but agree what we do with our own dogs is a personal choice and this thread made me laugh - I mean WHO CARES if someone puts a pretty bow on a male yorkie ?
