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

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

Small Dog Coats For Chihuahuas And The Other Smaller Breeds

I used to think small dog coats were a joke. I would scoff at the notion of a dog (which already has a coat of hair, does he not?) wearing human-invented fashion. Then, in an unusual twist of fate, and ended up taking care of two chihuahuas that I eventually came to call my own. I scoff no more. In fact, it was a matter of mere weeks after first getting them that I ordered my first small dog clothes from a chihuahua clothes boutique!

So what the heck changed my mind so quickly? It was the two chihuahuas: they would start to shiver and seek out the warmest spot in the room whenever they’d been in a room for a while and hadn’t just been prancing around down the sidewalks on a walk with me! As much as I thought that clothes for small dogs were an absolute joke, I couldn’t deny that my two little dogs were not exactly comfortable after they’d been indoors for a while and were just lounging around (which is the official chihuahua sport, by the way!) So I conceded: I bought a pair of chihuahua coats from the little dog coat boutique. And I haven’t looked back since!

When talking with other chihuahua owners today, we chat about the entire gamut of dog clothes, from the doggy parkas and chihuahua ski jackets you see at the Chihuahua Shop, to the other winter dog coats for small dogs the warm dog coats and sweaters you find on the shelves at the local Petco and other brick and mortar pet stores in town. It’s a little freaky when you get talking with your neighbor about her prize-winning chihuahua and how they own matching sets of clothing–both her and her dog!–and how they never leave the house without first coordinating their outfits. For me, I haven’t quite reach that point with my small dogs yet, but I know there are some aspiring Paris Hilton-types out there who could probably put me and my little chiwawa to shame when it comes to dressing to kill for the chihuahua fashion spotlight!

This summer, it’s been a blast to see all the new summer dog coats coming into the store, here. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about waterproof dog coats for blue chihuahua raincoatchihuahuas, as apparently there are a lot of owners who love to walk and dance and play in the rain with their small dogs, who obviously want to keep their little pets warm and snuggly while doing so! So just for those of you looking for such a small dog coat, we’ve brought in the chihuahua raincoat in a variety of colors, so you can get your four-pawed puddle splashing party going on, and semi-convince everyone else on the street that you’ve lost it, haha!–don’t worry, it’s one of my favorite things to do!

Apart from the heavier and rain-repellent small dog coats, there are the more funky and fashionable coats for smaller dogs that you’ll find in most chihuahua clothing stores, as well. If you’re going for the whole K-9 fahionista poochy-Gaga look for your dog, you’ll need your pink dog coats and your crazy wasp-coat for your little dog, and those other cray dog fashion coats that grab your attention like a fashionable attention magnet. These dogtacular clothes are all over the place online, and I do my best to stock the creme de la creme of them in the Chihuahua Clothes Shop.

The one other option you have if you want small dogs coats for your chihuahuas is to make your own. Now, I’m all for do-it-yourself projects when it comes to your chihuahuas, but I’m really not the sewing type, and so I’ll leave it to the budding chihuahua fashion artists at YouTube to guide you, if this option strikes an inner fashion cord with you. Here’s a simple example of how one dog owner made a small dog Santa coat for his little puppy:

You can search youtube for piles of other make your own chihuahua clothes examples, if you’re interested in making small dog coats for your pooch. Otherwise, simply browse the coats at the Chihuahua Shop, and you’ll simplify the entire process. Alright, I’ll speak to you again soon. -Mikey

Dog Coats for Small Dogs: Through The Eyes of A Chihuahua

Oh hi there!–it’s Namaste the chihuahua again! Mikey has gone out to buy groceries and it’s my chance do another guest sneak-post here on the chihuahua clothes shop’s blog! I managed to dig through some of the new dog clothing inventory at the store and I managed to drag out some super cool dog coats for small dogs, and I’m going to try and write what I think about them here (if my paws let me…)

I have to say that perhaps my favorite outfit is my snugly warm dog coat my owner got me last year! As a little dog, I get cold down here on the ground, and when I’m not on my walk, and I spend a little time lounging around inside on a hot day in the cooled room, I start to shiver and freeze down here! It gets really cold when you’re all the way down here AND you’re a breed that has a super high metabolism and you shed your body heat quickly.

Hooded Chihuahua ParkasSo any small dog coats that keep me a little warmer, I love! I’m super in love with my dog fleeces and, at night, really like to wear them over top my dog pyjamas. It keeps me nice and comfortable!

Another one of my favorite chihuahua outfits is my high visibility dog coat, for when I’m out walking around at night. I’m not really sure what it’s like up there when you’re walking along the side of the street as a human, but when you’re all of ten inches tall and a loud car goes by a little too close, it’s freaking scary. So I’m definitely a fan of the little dog suits and fleece coats for small dogs that have those fluorescent strips on them so your cars can see me and not run me over! Oh, it freaks me out every time someone zooms by in a loud, noisy automobile! I don’t like it! 🙁

Little Dog Ski ParkasThose are some of my favorites in the little dog coats arena, but I’ve seen so many more styles in the new Chihuahua Store here. There’s these fashion dog coats that have fur lining (fake fur, of course!), these crazy cool quilted parkas with hoods, chihuahua vests with fur collars, and even these little luxury ski parkas for dogs, for when you really want to treat one of us to a life of comfort and warmth in the cold!

Well I have to go and get all these small dog coats for small dogs back in the store before Mikey comes home and sees me, finds out I can type and write about chihuahua clothing, and then puts me to work here full time in the chihuahua shop!! I can’t have anything taking away from my precious lounging time by the pool or my snuggle time with him by his feet while he works on his laptop. I’ll try to write again soon, the next time he leaves the house! xoxo -Namaste!! ..err, ahemm, -a little bird
