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!

Outfits for Small Dogs: Escape To A More Interesting World

As long as chihuahuas and yorkies and other little dogs are around, there will be dog owners dressing up their little pups in outfits for small dogs. You can count on it. We get our first little dog and we swoon over how adorable she is, and we’re completely enamored. Soon after, we can’t help but go and pick out some little chiwawa clothes for her, or perhaps a few dog fleeces to keep her warm at night. We love our little doggies and we want them to look as cool and be as comfortable as us, and so we lavish them with the chihuahua fashion and the dog shirts for small dogs from the little boutiques, and we have our fun.

Apparently, Chloe and Papi from Beverly Hills Chihuahua like to shop for their toy dog clothing in the hills:

The woman in the video is mostly right, I believe. As owners, we do often buy our dogs their clothing to keep them warm, but if we’re honest, we also buy these little pomeranian clothes and poodle clothes, or terrier clothes or clothes whatever breed of little dog you have, because we want to lavish them with adorable fashion and let them live the high life that we ourselves like to live. I mean, really: what could be more fun than dressing your little dog in french bulldog clothes? What could be more adorable and fashionable than dressing your chihuahua in cute little costumes and the famous chihuahua clothes from movies like Beverly Hills Chihuahua or Legally Blonde? Not much, methinks. By the way, you can find costumes from both of these movies for your little chihuahuas here, at the Chihuahua Shop:

Funny Chihuahua Costumes Making The World A Happier Place

I don’t know about you, but whenever I think about chihuahua clothes, one of the first things that comes to mind is those pictures you see all over the internet with those little dogs wearing the funny chihuahua costumes. I’ve seen quite a few of these costumes for dogs on little puppies lately, and whenever I get talking with my neighbors about their smaller dogs and the clothes they’ve been buying for them lately, the topic of these silly toy breed costumes is practically unavoidable.

It seems that most of the toy breeds today are destined for a life of lavish treatment and pampering, spent dressed in the most elaborate chihuahua costumes we’ve ever seen in the pet world.

The hardcore chihuahua owners even take it to the extent of making their own costumes for their chis, crafting ornate designs for their dogs and decorating them with ornate trim and expensive crystals and jewels. It’s quite a scene!

But the majority of us turn to the chihuahua shops and stores around the net and in our local pet supply stores to find these costumes for our chihuahuas. It’s not uncommon to see the kind of outfits you see in the video above, ranging from the mildly funny to the outrageously creative and insanely funny dog costumes.

Some people will argue that it’s cruel to dress your dog in costumes in like these. I am not one of them. I think as long as your little toy dog is comfortable in the clothes and his movement isn’t hindered in any way by them, then no harm done. I think these can also help with their socialization, as generally when you dress your little dog in a chihuahua costume, more people are going to want to come over and interact and play with and pet your dog, which provides you with ample opportunity to guide your dog in these situations from a young age.

Any way you slice it, fun chihuahua costumes are a hit all around. They provide us owners with a little amusement, they give our cute little doggies something to wear and show off and use to draw in more people to interact and socialize with, and at the end of the day, all of the smiles and laughs and good energy that these funny dog clothes put out into the universe is a very positive thing, if you ask me 🙂 Cheers, friend -Mikey

Custom Chihuahua Collars for Little Dogs

Hi guys! It’s me again! It’s Namaste the chihuahua! I’ve got another guerilla article here with some quick gonzo writing quick on the fly, as Mikey just left to go to the corner store to pick up some popcorn or something for the movie tonight–I don’t know what–but I’ve got to write this really fast. There’s something I just can’t contain and I have to tell you this: I want to talk to you about chihuahua collars because on the store, he added all these really neat customizable collars and we’re super excited about how cool they are!

So recently, this chihuahua collar section of the site was added where you can actually customize your own collar for your little dog. It’s so cool! Me and the rest of the chihuahuas here just got a couple of them in the mail, each with our own little names on them in these sparkly crystal Diamante letters, and they are so PIMP! I love them, and we’re so freaking excited that he thought of us to actually give us a collar with our own name on it in crystals! It’s so cool, so sparkly; we’re truly princesses now! Seriously, I feel like royalty, we’re so special!

chihuahua with bling collarNow we’re wearing our collars with pride and they’re so very very cool. Now we’ve seen things similar to this before that you can find at little dog accessory stores like G.W. Little and all these other places online, and they are cool too. But at the Chihuahua Shop, you can actually see what your custom collar will look like right there, live, in real time, and you can choose from different colors for the band. The band is made out of leather, by the way, and it’s really neat and well made.

As a chihuahua, our collar is pretty much the one bling item that we have, asside from our clothing, but we wear it full time and it never really comes off. Our collar has our license tags on it, and it’s probably the most important accessory that a dog has. It’s super important, so spending a little bit of time and energy when picking out the right collar for a dog, well, let’s just say we really appreciate it! We really like this stuff!

So if you’ve got a little dog, you can defnitely treat him on his birthday to a customized dog collar with his name on it. He’ll look so awesome and he’s going to be so cute! But we warn you: do not ever give one of these collars to your dog if you’re more of a quiet person who likes to keep to yourself and not be popular and attract a lot of attention and have a lot of people talk to you, because these chihuahua collars have been drawing people to us on our walks all week long, since we first got them! People just won’t leave us alone! They want to come over and pet us and talk about our flashy new bling collars and how cool they look. I feel really proud, but we realize there are some people who don’t really like talking too much and prefer to keep to themselves, so for those people, we really wouldn’t recommend it.–OK! Mikey’s coming home; I can hear him pulling up in the driveway!! I’ve gotta go now! I’ll write again soon! Bye! woof woof -Namaste

Clothes for Yorkies and Other Adorable Toy Dog Breeds

Visiting my multi yorkshire terrior owning friend on the outskirts of town a little while ago, I was impressed to see all of these unique clothes for yorkies I had never seen anything like! She had these yorkie dresses and these little costumes for her toy dogs that made them look like into these indescribably cute little munchkins!

I find this is usually the case with small dog breed clothing, but with her yorkies it was just like taking the adorable factor of these small dogs and putting it on crack or something–it was almost too much to handle, seriously! My only regret in going is that I didn’t take my camera or my phone with me to snap a quick photo with! Oh well; lesson learned: never visit a toy dog enthusiast’s house without expecting something outlandish and bringing a camera to capture the priceless, adorable insanity of the moment!

But back to the yorkie clothes, I was so impressed by my friend’s collection that I decided to do whatever it takes to bring some of these quality clothes to the Chihuahua Shop, to add to the collection of quality small dog clothes designed for chihuahuas, yorkies, and other small breeds, especially the toy and teacup dog breeds.

Right now, we carry yorkie accessories here at the store, and some yorkie dog clothing like sweaters and hoodies and coats that you’re little yorshire terrier can wear to help him look even more fashionable and cute. These are catalogued alongside the chihuahua clothes and other outfits we carry for smaller dogs, so if you’re specifically looking for clothing for yorkies, you can click throgh to the pictures section of each listing and check them out to see if they’d fit your little doggie. Yorkies are adorable when they wear their tiny clothes! So when you finish reading this, head over to the shop (there’s a link below), and I’ll speak to you again soon! -Mikey
