Fuzzy head - Maltese Dogs Forum : Spoiled Maltese Forums

Pipper's hair especially his head is really fuzzy.

Do you think if it gets longer it will sit down flat or just stick up higher and higher.

It's also getting straighter and straighter. Does wavy hair usually get straighter. By the way, I ordered him a Mandan brush today.

I think it will lay flat. Are you going to let it grow and do a topknot?

**pippersmom** · 11-12-2012, 10:55 AM

My DH says no topknots, he would look girlie, but I want it to grow a bit for the winter for warmth and to see how he would look.

My mom has a male yorkie and she puts a topknot in. He looks adorable but she doesn't use bows or anything just leaves it. I think Pipper would look cute in one.

I started putting Jack's hair in a top knot recently. My DH and DS' didn't want me too, for same reasons, too girly. But, it shows his sweet face, they actually like it. Pipper is going to be precious either way.

I think the short hair on top will be curly, but as the coat grows longer the weight pulls it down straighter. So the longer it gets, most likely, the straighter. He is a little sweetheart!

Kathy, your boy is ADORABLE! Love his sweet face

The hair will get longer and it will lay down - it usually goes to the sides.
My hubby says no topknots, too...

....so our Charlie doesn't look girly, lol.

Dewey's in a top knot and I love it!!!! Hardy would be too, but won't allow it! Pipper's hair will lay down, Laurel's did and her hair is wild!!! My hubby was offended when someone called Dewey a "she" he said didn't they see the blue rubber band? LOL

That's exactly what gets me, lol. Charlie may be wearing the blue jacket, blue collar and my leash is blue and they still call him "she"....I'm not sure why the people think all cute small dogs have to be females
