Sorry, Choccydrop, but I'm here now!  Milo's topknot is fab at the moment - seems to have been bleached slightly by the sun so is a few shades lighter than the rest of him!!    (Penel was most unimpressed at Wag 'n Bone!  )  Look, Penel and Lisa, he's got no mats and is otherwise well groomed, so leave me the pleasure of the top knot!     Mikey's been clipped but my workmates say if I keep him and maintain him clipped, his top knot's got to be allowed to grow like Milo's.

oh. my. god.

sarah, call the police 

someone's nicked your dogs and replaced them with clean ones  

Not any more - the dirty little gits found a rotting trout on this afternoons walk and rolled in it 

[sarahp]

They look gorgeous - exactlly like how I would wan tmy Dillbert (yep I call him that too ) done if I wanted a change from the hairy bear look!!

TBH Petra I too prefer the hairy bear look but as my housekeeping skills are limited  it was getting ridiculous.  They swim on every walk and then get covered in dust when they are wet, then bring it all home with them  . There is so much dust in our house that OH asked me the other day if we'd suffered a volcano whilst he was out 

[sarahp]

They look great  Dill reminds me of someone......now who could it be?......

I have no idea...........................................

You and Helen have got some kind of top knot fixation!!!!!!

We do indeed and for very good reason - top knots is fab   

You can see their bootiful domed heads then 

Agreed if they have a beautiful head but Daisy looks like she stood up too quickly under the coffee table    Dill looks fab without his top knot - he has a beautiful bonce 

[Penel]

Cockers aren't sposed to have topknots - case closed

then someone tell evolution to get a hurry up and stop the hair growing naturally there.....

[Penel]

Hattie hasn't got one  perhaps yours are over-evolved 

[Helen]

oooh nooooo penel - jarvis is obviously neanderthal with his tuftiness....

her hattiness is clearly 'the way forward' in genetically engineering tuftless cockers....shame she's had the snip

Alfie doesn't have one either but I wish he did, I think they're gorgeous

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   

Exactly exactly exactamundo.  OH wants silly top knot.  Luckily, he doesn't know that the Coat King will hopefully prevent that from ever happening - yee haaah.

And while we're on the topic of crimes against cockers, I believe that there are people on here whom I respect and trust who ....CUT OFF THEIR DOGS' LONG EYELASHES.

Hard to believe, but true.  Own up so we can (well I can) berate you in the appropriate manner.

Eyelashes and whiskers all have to go in this house

[Petra]

Oh no, topknots are the best    My sister came to visit on Sunday and we had great fun spiking Dill's tuft (what little there is of it...), giving him a side parting, and generally messing about... (poor Dill )

Am going to let it grow a bit, just to see how it looks

We sometimes meet a gorgeous golden cocker on our walks, Scrumpy, and his topknot is huge - a real tuft, absolutely gorgeous
