Dog Clothes
We have blogged on this subject before and it never ceases to amaze us the lengths that dog owners are willing to go to in order to make their precious pooch stand out with dog clothes. You can see anything from pink studded dog collars to the whole shebang; I am talking about full doggy sunglasses and novelty reindeer antlers.
The big question is, why? Dog clothes only really work with small dogs as there is no canine High and Mighty [that we are aware of] to provide for the larger dog. Additionally a Doberman in a tutu just makes them even more frightening. So a small dog is already up against it, so why pile on the misery by dressing them up like Yoda?
Dog Fashion
I concede that certain dogs need to be protected against the cold and we are not living in a Lutheran society, so why not jazz it up a little bit. There is a broad range of dog fashion which serves a practical purpose beyond our own amusement; you can even buy your Jack Russell a skull and crossbones style hoody!
That serves a practical purpose in making your dog, which could easily have a complex about being so small, feel like a bit of tough guy. If you dog is having its treats stolen by a group of bigger dogs over the park, then dress it up in this outfit and watch them retreat with their tails between their legs.
