Generally the average pet owner orders a size too small for what they had in mind. For example a Maltese wears TWO bows side by side in a show ring so these bows must be exceptionally tiny. However, you may only want your Maltese to wear a single bow in which case the tiny toy bows may be too small.
A Yorkie will generally only wear one bow and a Shih Tzu also one bow. The average show Maltese is about 4 lbs or less so you need to keep in mind that your Maltese may be bigger than average, and may require a larger sized bow. As a general rule:
Maltese order tiny toy bows (under 1") if using double topknots, regular bows (over 1 1/4")for single topknots.
Most other breeds will use the over 1 1/4" bows
Poodle toy for topknots under 5 lbs get the tiny toy, over 4 lbs get the 1 1/4" or get the 1 1/4" ear bows for any size poodle from toy to standard
Yorkie if under 4 lbs possibly the tiny toy over 4 lbs definitely the bigger 1 1/4" bowsShih Tzu almost always should wear over 1 1/4" bows
