Therefore, it has a use purpose apart from just looking cute. You must have a number of hair bows for your Yorkie, and put a fresh bow on his topknot, or simply above both of his ears, each day.

It isn’t unusual for male dogs to wear bandanas around their necks. Ensure that your Yorkies bandana is not so tight that it is uncomfortable or threatening for him, and not so loose that it will hinder his movements. You should buy human bandanas for this, or bandanas designed especially for dogs in a variety of colours and patterns.
