Dachshund Clothing: In Search Of The Best Wiener Dog Fashion!

view Dachshund Clothing at the Dog Clothing Shop

I’ve been looking around at the dachshund clothing selection out there in the online pet stores and the local dog clothing boutiques, and I have to say that I’m not very impressed.

Any dachshund owner who’s interested in small dog clothing knows how hard it can be to find clothes that are both small and long enough to fit your dachshund correctly… I’ve been looking around at dachshund jackets and dachshund coats in these different pet stores and I’m just not seeing anything that really fits the bill.

I did find a few dachshund raincoats online that, from their photos, looked like they’d fit the bill for most cutie pie fashionista wiener dogs, but for the most part, it’s the collars and leads that seemed to be marketed the most for dachshunds, which is a little unusual since a collar or lead isn’t usually bred-specific! I know that if you have a really small dog like a chihuahua, then sure: you might want a super small collar for her, but otherwise, with the bigger dogs, usually a lead is a lead and a collar is a collar. But I digress…

I’ve been wanting to bring in some dachshund costumes to the store, because what could be more ridiculously adorable than a little furry sausage wearing a dog costume?! Seriously, dachshunds are adorable enough as they are, but you pair them up with their little dachshund clothes and you have something that could almost kill most older people by heart attack caused by K-9 cuteness overload!

Off all the dachshund dresses, I’d probably say the bridal set is the most adorable, keeping with the general trend in small pet clothes. The bride and groom set for dogs is a tough act to beat in the category of cute! And it’s really no different with clothes for dachshunds, only they look even more darling!

We have some beautiful new shirts and sweaters for dachshunds at the store right now, so invite you to check them out and see for yourself. Wiener dog clothes are a bit of a new hobby of mine, so I’m going to work away at bringing a few more of them to the shop, but until then, happy shopping for your dachshund clothing and your pet clothes for your other little dogs, and I’ll speak to you again very soon! -Mikey

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:

Chihuahua Dogs: An Adorable Icon Of Affection Via Fashion

Chihuahua dogs are famous around the world for their adorably small and cute cuddly appearance. They’ve been forever burned into our minds and immortalized through movies like Beverly Hills Chihuahua, and they hold a special place in many dog owner’s hearts as the prototypical “little dog” breed.

Compared to other breeds of dogs, chihuahuas are a relatively easy breed to take care of. Their small size makes them much easier to manage, since they can’t destroy your house nearly as much as larger breed dogs if they’re unbalanced and have issues–and a lot of them do. Many owners treat their chihuahuas like their little babies, which only messes up these poor little dogs, but I digress… Yes, it is definitely a lot easier to take care of a little chihuahua than a larger breed dog. The smaller size just makes them much lower maintenance because they have a lower level of need.

I notice, especially with chihuahua dogs, that a lot of people tend to purchase or pick up or adopt their tiny pet when they’re in a highly emotional moment in their life, and so they tend to select a dog that makes them feel something. And when people look at a chihuahua, many can’t help but have that “OOOOOHHHHhhh, how cute!!!” reaction to it, and they immediately have to go over and touch it and talk to it in the high pitched, squeaky voice, and make a big scene. So a lot of chihuahuas are brought into homes primarily because of how they look and how they make people feel when they look at these dogs. This is probably why chihuahua clothes are so popular with owners: even with chihuahua puppies of just a few weeks, owners often doll up their newly born cuddly “chiwawa”–yes, many name their dogs after the breed itself, in this skewed way (I know: it’s a little freaky… but cute at the same time)–in costumes and take their older cute and cuddly little chiwawa dog for a spin around the park and to socialize with all the other little dogs and meet and greet the owners… it can be quite a scene, to say the least! Especially when the owners start talking like that: “my chiwawa dog is so smart, how about your chiwawa??” hahaha. I love it.

But no matter what your opinion on small breed dogs, you have to admit that chihuahuas are, in one way or another, kinda cute… at least the starlet-fashionistas think so in Hollywood–Paris and Tinkerbell, anyone!? They are by far the most famous celebrity-chihuahua pairing. Or should I say chiwawa celebrity pairing?–haha!

And of course, a lot of people find that they have to dress their teacup chihuahua–and even long hair chihuahuas–up in clothes for dogs to keep them warm, and so the clothes serve do serve a more practical function. But these dog clothes take on another dimension when it comes to chihuahuas and other little dogs: this kind of fashion freakshow effect that seems to take over when owners go shopping for chihuahua clothes! A lot of chihuahua owners will love buying costumes and little shirts and sweaters and coats for dogs that dress their little poochy up in a way where he looks adorable and fashion forward, in addition to providing him with some additional warmth. And sometimes these costumes get a little out of hand and silly and.. ok, bonkers, but that’s half the fun–right?–walking down the street and seeing your neighbor with her fashion freakshow chihuahua, haha! It makes my day every time! This isn’t strictly with smaller breed dogs, but it’s definitely more common with them:

By the way, in case you’re wondering, it’s spelled chihuahua dogs, not as many people will write like chiuaua or chiwawa or whatever variation; it has to do with the latin pronounciation, like you’d say it if you were in Mexico, speaking spanish. So that’s a little bit about what I notice is going on in the world with chihuahua dogs. I normally write about chihuahua clothes, but sometimes you have to shine the spotlight on the models themselves, not just the fashion! Cheers, owners of awesome chihuahua dogs! Until next time! -Michelle
