| I don't like the bands because they pull the hair out. I ended up with a bald spot on my baby about the size of a pencil eraser! When her hair was getting long enough to be pulled back, but not long enough for a bow, I used the little hair clips. I bought them at the dollar store and ALWAYS took them out of her hair at night and when I had to leave her for any length of time during the day. Even now, when I use the dog bows, I never leave them in her hair when she is alone. There are tons of websites you can find to order dog bows, just google them |

| I just ordered a bunch of "boy bows" from this gal on ebay- the bows in the pictures are DARLING and so many choice! I think she gives the option of clips or bands. It's an ebay store called Beez Boys, I should get them early next week and will let everyone know! I am excited to get them!

| I have two pages of boy bows on my website if you'd like to take a look. The link is in my siggie. To answer your question, yes, barrettes can be a choking hazard. Bands are safer, but not everyone can do bands, especially on a wiggly puppy. I hot glue, then hand sew, all barrettes on my bows with heavy duty button thread so they won't come off the bow. You can also spray the bow with a little Bitter Apple to discourage chewing. Until he's a little older, never leave a bow on him unless you are supervising him to be safe. |
