Dog Wedding Outfits, For The Betrothed Chihuahua (or Chihuahua Owner!)

I’ve been looking over different dog wedding outfits online, checking out the dog fashion packages that have a bride wedding dress with veil and an accompanying pet tux for the male dog, and I don’t quite know what to think of these 🙂 I mean, we carry dog wedding veils and other chihuahua clothes like this at the Chihuahua Shop here, and I know they make your little dog into what could only be described as the most fashiontastic, dressed to the K-9s, explosively adorable dog-lover-magnet on the planet; but what are we doing with little dogs these days?!? Are we… marrying them?

Apparently so.

The Dog Wedding

I have a neighbor; we’ll call her Martha. Martha has two chihuahuas, and a little while ago, after collecting chihuahua bridesmaid dresses and chihuahua party dresses for her two chihuahuas’ little doggie friends, she decided it was time her two chiwawas got married in her little dessert garden of cacti and blue agave plants (and yes, she actually served tequila at the wedding to those in attendance–not the dogs) 🙂

She still sends me photos of that special day with all the dogs wearing these tiny little wedding costumes for dogs, and even her house tabby that gets along great with all the small dogs that frequent her humble abode. Did I mention this town is a bit of a pet owner freakshow?! Haha, well it is–it’s great!

So anyway, I have all of these memories of the dog tuxedos and the little chihuahua pets wearing their little dog bow ties and their special order “big day tuxedo with bow tie collar” outfits. Some of the chihuahuas look rather dashing in their dog wedding dresses and their doggy hair bows, and others just look downright hilariously and fantastically dorky. Just thinking about it brings me to the verge of laughter every time.

So I’ve been wanting to bring a wedding line to the Chihuahua Shop for some time now. I have the two quality bride and groom dresses pictured above in the store right now, and they are the best of their kind, but I’m also looking into some small dog ring bearer outfits to go with them or if you know two dog-lovers who are betrothed and soon to be hitched and would like their to have their pet be a little dog ring bearer.

I’m also wanting to bring some other dog wedding accessories like dog neckties and little hair pins and hair bows for dogs like a Maltese or a long haired chihuahua or yorkie, who’d look totally cute walking the isle with these to match their little dog wedding outfits. So check the Chihuahua Shop if you’re looking for the best bride and groom outfits for your little dogs, and check back soon because I’m hoping we can bring in some more of these adorable dog wedding accessories very soon! -Mikey

Pug Clothing: Possibly The Most Adorable Dog Clothing There Is!

Pug clothing has got to be one of the cutest inventions I have ever seen. Anybody with eyes who has ever owned a pug knows what I mean when I say that these little smushed-in face, wrinkly, burly cuddle-beasts are freaking adorable already, without the aid of any clothes for pugs. But you combine the two, and you’re off to the races with one of the cutest K-9 fashion combos I think you’ll ever see.

They are so cute, in fact, that I’ve been adding pug clothes to the Chihuahua Shop for a while now. Initially, the store began as a hobby project of mine to bring the best dog fashion to small dogs and their owners, but the clothing manufacturers actually make most of their dog clothes in bigger sizes too, for dogs like pitbulls, rotweilers, and yes: pugs too! So I continue to brand the store as the “Chihuahua Shop”, but we actually carry clothing for all sizes of dogs, and some of my pug-owing friends have been commenting on how much they love their new pug fashion from the store, which is pretty cool!

One of my Pug owner neighbords picked up a few pug T-shirts and a stylish pug jacket for her darling “Puggly Poo”, haha! (I can’t help but bust up laughing whenever I hear here squeeling with delight over “sir Puggly Poo’s fashion feast”–her way of describing her pug’s wardrobe.) I have a few friends here in this chihuahua clothes Mecca that is the Mexican town of Sayulita (where they filmed part of the movie “Beverly Hills Chihuahua”) who can’t get over who cute this dog looks in his new little pug biker jacket! I’ve been wanting to bring a biker line of clothing to the chihuahua store for a while now, and it’s exciting to see so many owners who ride and who are passionate about their pugs and the clothes they wear. It’s so freaking exciting to be a part of this community!

Of course, I’ve been seeing a lot of pet carriers and other pug merchandise go at the store, shipping out to mostly Americans and Brits who want to gear up for their summer getways with their adorable doggies. Of all the customers who come through the Chihuahua Shop, pug owners are some of the nicest folks: they email you pictures later on of their little dogs wearing their little pug brand clothes and other pet clothing favorites. Like I said, dog clothes seldom have a more insanely adorable K-9 companion than when they’re paired with a pug, and I don’t think it’s hard to see why:

If you’re looking for pug clothes, just head over to the store here and browse until your heart is content 🙂 I know the store is labelled as a chihuahua shop, but that’s just my marketing slant, and we actually carry clothes for bigger dogs too, and we have some great pug clothing right now there, so go check it out now, and I’ll be back again soon with some more pugtacular fashion scoops!

Chihuahua Apparel For The Dog Fashion-Inclined Chihuahua Owner’s Soul

I have a confession: ever since I got my first two chihuahuas years ago, I’ve been slightly obsessed with chihuahua apparel. Maybe it’s all the comments your little dogs get when they’re wearing small dog clothes, or perhaps it’s the way chihuahua clothes make your little doggie’s face look even more adorable when its peering out of a little chihuahua costume… I don’t know what it is exactly, but it was enough to make me start the Chihuahua Shop a little while ago so I could help other fashion passionate owners of small dogs find some of the best apparel for chihuahuas on the planet.

In the past few years, I have seen my fair share of dog T-shirts and dog sweaters for chihuahuas. I’ve been to the little doggie fashion shows, where owners parade their pets around on the runway, sporting some new style of chihuahua dog apparel, strutting their stuff for a designer label of some sort. If you’ve even been to one of these doggie fashion shows, you’ll know what I mean when I say they don’t always go exactly as planned! Sometimes the chihuahuas and yorkies have to “go” on stage and it creates a rather comical (and stinky) scene amid the dog fashionistas!

But on a more serious note (if there is such at thing when we’re talking about chihuahua clothes…), dog holiday costumes or a niche chihuahua shirt is often a surprisingly effective gift for someone you care about who has chihuahuas or another breed of small dog. Most chihuahua owners care deeply about their little fur children, and when you show those dog-children some fashion love, the owner usually reacts very warmly and is happy about the whole thing!

In addition to chihuahua apparel, the Chihuahua Store has seen the addition of some very fashionable chihuahua dog jewelry over the past few months. So now, in addition to picking up those two adorable chihuahua vests you see in the store catalogue and those other clothes for chihuahuas that are so freaking cool, you can accessorize your little canine gift-target with Swarovski crystal-laced necklaces and other dog bling that takes the whole notion of dog apparel to the next level.

But moving away from the dog accessories for a moment and back onto apparel for chihuahuas, as far as the fringe pet fashion for chihuahuas is concerned, I’ve been going through the chihuahua store’s dresses. I’ve been noticing a lot of people are really liking the chihuahua princess dress this spring and now into to the summer. It seems that the Brits want to have their afternoon tea party with their chihuahuas and other small dogs in their UK homes (and tower castles), and the Americans are enjoying their Sunday afternoon picnics at the dog park with their pet fashion friends, which I think is very cool. Any time you can spend time with friends, in nature, with a fashion focus; that is chihuahuatastic! Haha!

If you’d like to see what I believe is some of the very best chihuahua clothing online right now, visit the Chihuahua Shop (there’s a link below). We carry casual canine clothes for your little chiwawa baby, and the designer doggy coats for your badass chihuahua boy. Wherever your fascination lies with chihuahua apparel, you will very likely find the object of your chihuahua fashion obsession there! -Mikey

Yorkie Outfits: For The Fashion Conscious Yorkie Owner

Note from Mikey: hey there. I’ve been wanting to write a piece about yorkie outfits for the site here, but being a chihuahua owner, I feel a little out of place about it. So I’ve managed to get my friend here who has a few yorkies of her own, who’s actually really excited to be published on the site here, to write a guest article here about her experience with yorkie clothes for you. Enjoy!

Hey there, it’s Jada! I’m the proud owner of three yorkies, and I have to confess: I love yorkie outfits. First of all because they take your yorkie’s natural cuteness–and who could argue with that! They’ve got the cute little toy breed stature and that cute long hair that’s just like this little aristocratic dog that’s hilarious and adorable! But when you dress them in yorkie clothes, it just cranks it up by 10x, it’s just unbelievable how cute they are. And if you ever have one of those in your house, your life is going to be a lot happier because you’ll always be reminded of the bright side of life and to not take things too seriously because your little bundle of love will brighten your day, guaranteed!

Yorkie outfits are great because they help you keep your little toy breed dog warmer and more comfortable at night, or whenever you’re in a cold room, and also help them look super cool and fashionable, as you can dress your little yorkie up with a myriad of fashionable outfits and make him look like any kind of character you’d like him to look like. It’s great! You can play different story lines and plot lines between your little doggies, if you dress them up as the bride and the groom, or the harlequin and the damsel in distress, the pirate, etc. There’s all sorts of crazy costumes out there for yorkies!

Dressing pets in little dog clothes like these is construed by some owners as a mild form of animal cruelty. They say “why would you dress up a dog in clothes? Isn’t that cruel?–I mean they don’t wear clothes in nature: they have their fur!” And I concede: it is unnatural.

In fact, I’ll tell you what: a little while ago, I thought the same thing. I thought “well, I don’t know… I don’t think my dogs need clothes; they look pretty cute as they are!” But I gave in one day and said “alright” when I was surfing around on the internet, looking at different yorkie outfits that were floating around on my mind, and I decided to buy one. Well it showed up in the mail two weeks later, I tried it out on my dog, and I fell in love instantly with the whole idea of it.

Well me neighbor came over about five minutes after I put the shirt on my yorkie, and she just would not shut up and stop gushing about how CUTE my yorkie was. I actually had to get out the door to go to a meeting, but I couldn’t get her out the door! She just kept talking and gushing and wanted to pet my dog, and I was put in this weird situation where I had to get out and tell her “Ok, look: you HAVE to go; I have a meeting to get to,” but she was petting my dog and I didn’t want to be the Grinch and be all “no, you can’t pet my dog any more and you have to leave, now.” It was kind of a funny situation. It’s AMAZING how much of a magnet these dogs are for attention and adoration! So for their sake, to help with their socialization, as I know Mikey has written about on this blog with his chihuahuas, I really recommend giving your yorkies a couple of outfits to sport. It’s a lot of fun, and they actually help with their socialization. So I’m a big proponent of the yorkie outfit to say the least.

So to those who argue that dog clothing is wrong because it’s not natural, I would say “well, sure, but in nature, we also don’t bring dogs into our home, feed them dog food, take them to the groomer…” and we could go on and on–there are ten thousand other things we could talk about here. I don’t really think that putting clothing on your dog is a big issue. As far as I’m concerned, you’re just enhancing his natural warmth. And as for the aesthetic component–the beauty and how it makes your dog look–I really don’t think my dog gives a crap about that. I doubt he even knows what he looks like, much less has vanity issues to deal with.

All joking aside, yorkie clothing is just about the cutest thing you will even encounter in your life. If you’re a yorkie owner and you don’t have yorkie clothes for him, I might have to wonder what the heck you’re waiting for–seriously. Head on over to the Chihuahua Store that Mikey has set up for us small dog owners, and check out the yorkie outfits. It has a great selection of clothes for yorkies that I think you’ll really like, and check it out! Hopefully I can write for Mikey’s Chihuahua site here again soon! xox -Jada

Toy Dog Clothing Fashion Show To Raise Money For Homeless Shelter Dogs

I’m super excited because I have a friend who’s preparing for her very own toy dog clothing fashion show in Los Cabos, Mexico! She’s putting this show on to help raise money for the local Humane Society there, and so she’s getting ready, collecting all the coats for small dogs that she can from friends and coworkers, so she can dress up the smaller dessert mutts at the Los Cabos Humane Society in little toy dog clothes and help raise money for the cause. And, with a bit of luck, a few of the dogs will catch the eye of potential pet owners and get adopted. I’m super excited for these little chihuahuas and other little doggies in Cabo that will be strutting their stuff to save their skins and help raise money to keep their shelter running!

My friend truly has a heart of gold. In a past life, I used to work at the Los Cabos Humane Society and she would come in and volunteer when she had time away from her job. She’d feed the smaller dogs and dress them up in their sweaters for small dogs and their donated chiwawa clothes at night so they’d stay warmer over the cool dessert night and sleep better. And we’d walk the little dogs over the dessert sand dunes behind the shelter and give the pets-in-waiting their exercise each day.

Like I said, this person has a heart of gold, and a few years ago she came up with this great idea for a fundraiser for the shelter dogs: she would put on a little doggy fashion show. See, it’s very expensive proposition–running an animal shelter–and when you house 50-60 dogs plus about 30 cats, you spay and neuter them, you take care of their health and medicate them when needed, you feed them, and you take care of all their vet checks and vaccinations, plus you fly them out to adoptive homes in the US and Canada when they have people interested in adopting them, the expenses add up rather quickly and you really need to have a few good fundraisers every year just so that you can continue to operate and survive to help more dogs like these little critters:

So my friend came up with the idea of dressing up the little dogs at their shelter in the small yorkie apparel and other clothing for toy doggies she had collected over the years, and hosting a fashion show for the dogs and make an event out of the whole thing, to bring people in and collect donations. It was a great idea, and she’s getting ready to do it for the second time, now!

I’ve been sending my spare dog apparel for small dogs down to her and asking my neighbors if they had any clothes for toy dogs they didn’t want any more, so we could send them down for my friend to dress up the cutest small dogs at the shelter with and have her little fashion show fundraiser with the smaller dogs there.

I wanted to share this story with you because it’s not every day you hear about dog outfits for small dogs making a core difference in the lives of so many animals, especially when we’re talking life and death here with the shelter dogs! Usually when I’m thinking about little chihuahua clothes, I’m thinking about how cute and cuddly they make little dogs look and how this pink sweater would match great with those white doggy boots, and all of this other superficial stuff–not that there’s anything wrong with that; I think that’s part of the joy of dog clothes: they let us have fun and not take things so seriously. But for the dogs who aren’t living the life in a nice home with a loving family to call their own, it’s nice to see that toy dog clothing can still serve a positive purpose and help these dogs out, along with the incredible work of some people like my friend with the heart of gold in Cabo!
