My baby's fur is not very long yet but I want her to get used to wearing a bow in her hair. :wacko: The only problem is ... 1) I don't know where to find dog bows and 2) She hates it when I mess with her hair! I don't know a lot of people with small dogs so I have never actually seen a dog bow in person. Does anyone have any idea where to find them? Thanks!

Bows are way too hard for me with Abby at the moment! I've started by getting "snag-free" bands from the hair section at the store and putting her hair in that. I have tried tying ribbon in her hair (I don't have any bows either) - but it's a STRUGGLE & A HALF!!

I figure it's best to just get her used to the bands first... she'll leave them in when I'm there, but the minute I'm gone - that hair band magically falls out!!!

I didn't come here for adversizing. I came because I wanted to talk to people who love Maltese as much as I do but I do have a web site specializing in dog bows. I started making them myself because I got tired of everything I bought falling apart. You can also look on Ebay, JB wholsale.com or just punch in dog bows on your search engine. If you're first starting you can even put a rubberband on and add a childs hair clip. I hope this helps or at least gives you some options.
Good luck

Thanks guys! I will definately go and buy some rubberband/hair ties at wal-mart and try those. I hadn't thought of just putting the bands in. DUH! :lol:

i also use childrens clips and rubberbands u can get at target.. i get mine from target in the children hair section..the rubber bands dont last long tho..they get stretched eventually and last about less than a week ..

it snaps or gets too loose u cant use them anymore..but u get about 100 in a small package and ive still got a lot left..

i love matching the color of the clips and rubberbands when i do jongee's hair..u can check out some of her photos in the photogallery and see the clips i use.. :lol:

Kelly - I did purchase some bows from your website and they are really cute! I take one to the groomers with me when Lacey gets groomed and the groomers all love them. I'm not very good at putting them in yet but I am getting better. Just takes a lot of patience. For the past almost 3 weeks Lacey hasn't had one in her hair. She was spayed and I let her be. Today she got a bath for the first time since the surgery and after she ran to her "Daddy" and hid behind him. You would have thought I was trying to kill her with the bath. So I didn't even try the bow today, but tomorrow we go back to our old grooming routine. Guess I shouldn't have gotten out of the routine but I figured with the surgery I would let her rest. I had her clipped short before the surgery so I haven't had to brush and comb her on a daily basis. Do miss the longer hair and it is finally starting to grow in but it has been easier to take care of her hair. She is 7 months old and she just loves to play and get her hair messy.
