.. I'm terrible at putting in a top knot!

At least your eyes are visible this time 😆
In theory, I know how to do it, but in practice it's not easy for me! He's wiggly too. He knows a chin rest on my hand but I need to change the target to a cushion or something... even then hed probably struggle to stay still!

Also probably going to invest in one of those no spill water dishes to help his beard stay cleaner.

You could also train him to use a water bottle. Perry used to drink water too fast and then go racing around the house and would end up throwing up almost every time, so we switched to a water bottle which he now uses all the time - I keep it clipped to his crate with his crate door open when he's out of it and then he has access to it when he's inside too. When we were living in a different house and his crate was in the bedroom, I had a 2nd bottle in the living room for him. It has the added advantage of the water not getting dirty from their beard :)

He will drink out of a dish when necessary as well.
Most Havanese show people use bottles at the shows, even if they use dishes at home, because it keeps the dogs’ beards dry for the ring.

Even though Perry is in a puppy cut by the time we're getting close to his next appointment you can't really see his eyes. My sister told our groomer that she should shave his bangs :)
I always touch up Pixel and Kodi’s faces between hair cuts!

Enzo looks so cute with the topknot. He has very pretty eyes.
Is no one afraid that one of these wild beasts would rip out the elastic and eat it??? Raises hand, count me in.
You definitely have to keep an eye on them as little puppies. after a while, though, they learn how much more comfortable they are with the hair out of their eyes, and most become very cooperative about getting their hair put up. I have more trouble with the puppies taking the ponies out of OTHER dogs' hair. But that is a "multiple dog household problem" ;)

Yes. i think if Enzo saw a ponytail he could grab onto it would be over. LOL.
That's why I ended up putting Panda's hair in bangs after her puppies. They (and ESPECIALLY Ducky, had made SUCH a mess of her head hair that it was just awful) I knew I was't going to be showing her in conformation anymore, so...

She's still so beautiful! It's hard work mothering a buncha rascals!
She was a wonderful mother. I wish the stars had aligned for me to let her have a litter earlier, so the she could have had more than the one litter. But at least I got Ducky! She is very cute whenever other puppies visit... she wants to mother them too! I think she is going to enjoy being "auntie" to Ducky's puppies next spring. Pixel was a great auntie to Panda's litter... this litter will have TWO aunties! LOL!
