this probably sounds silly to you but what is a top knot? is it the fur on the top of the dogs head? Millie is my first doggy you see so i'm still learning :005: She is 13 and a half weeks old, when do you get their claws trimmed? and when do you think i should be on look out for her little peggys falling out :005: thanks in advance guys x

The top knot is the tuft of hair that grows on their heads, some have their top knots cut off and a flatter looking shorter hair on the head.
Some prefer to keep the hair a bit longer on the heads (I prefer it)
You will find that as you go out more walks then the claws will actually start to wear down a bit.
You could get them trimmed though either yourself, groomer , vet or pets at home cut them .
Its probably a little bit early for the teeth to fall out at 13 weeks, possibly in the next couple of weeks.
Riley lost all his teeth between about 16-21 weeks , they were all replaced with big adult teeth in such a short time span.

You can see Jem's top knot in this pic. I'm a top knot fan ;)
I don't think it is the proper name for it, just a nickname!
