Hello YT. I am nuts over my baby boy. He is 8 months old today. I was wondering if you put bows to boys and if you do where i can find some that are not so femenine. Couple of pics.

If I had a boy, he'd have bows in his hair. I think they are cute on boys and girls

I have 3 boys, but I don't put bows in their hair. Although I have picked them up from the groomers a couple of times and they have had bows in their hair, they will usually stick to a blue bow for boys. So I would say if you stick to the darker color solid bows, that wouldn't look too feminine. I attached a pic of my boys.

HaHa

We wrote "Bows on Girls Only" on your file so no more bows for your guys. Looking forward to seeing you and miss Layla Wednesday!

I like www.doggiebowties.com for bows. They have a lot of colors that would work for boys. You can also do a search for dog bows on eBay. I've seen some boy-themed bows on there.

Yes, I have to agree, I think they're pretty handsome myself.

And yes there shouldn't be any more mistakes on my boys, the grooming salon has written "bows on girls only" on our file, so no more bows on my boys. Yea!!

My little boy wears bows. I have gotten all his off eBay. I usually do a search for "boy dog" under the eBay pet supplies category and some cute ones usually come up.

My boyfriend would murder me if I put a bow on Jack.

LoveMyJake · 07-16-2007, 05:44 PM

My little boy doesn't wear bows. I tried putting his hair in a topknot once, and he had that out in no time. He doesn't like clothes either

I make bows and sell them. You can see some samples here

And I can do some boyish bows for you too. Just give me an idea of what you would like and I will make it.

I don't put bows in Duffy's hair, but I do put buttons. I went to the craft/material store and bought some buttons with shanks on the back in the shape of stars and some cars and then put the tiny "wrap" latex bands through the shanks and into Duffy's hair. I also have a couple of small white buttons that are shaped like bones but without a shank and I just used a needle and thread and sewed them onto the latex bands. When I take them out of his hair, I just cut off the thread and resew them onto new bands so I can reuse them. All of my friends love the buttons and they look more "manly" than the bows.

angelee · 07-17-2007, 11:30 AM

No bows for my guy. I'm sure he would take them out even if I tried.

Amy81 · 07-17-2007, 02:43 PM

I just ordered some bows with footballs and the rest is a boys mix. I can't wait!

i ordered from www.pamperedrotten.com

i will post pics as soon as they arrive !

Hi,

We put bows in our boys' hair. Just be careful not to tie the knot too tight, or else he could get a top know, and the hair will actually come out if you leave the knot in his hair for a prolonged period of time.
