Dressed up Dogs

Sure you may have seen many these cute dogs in the past, but none are as cute as sausage dogs dressed up. I like to call them  hot-dog-dog, and I’ve snapped many in the past. Here is Charlie, who is a 4 year old Dachshund, all dressed up in his hotdog costume. Charlie, as well as being a Dachshund, is a very quite, relaxed dog. He’s not really into barking, even when some other dogs think he looks tasty in his little hotdog outfit ! This picture was taken the first time he wore his costume, but since this photo has been taken, there is a bite out of the back of the bun, I kid you not !

I’ve done some research on these and other types of dog breeds and if you are looking for a reserved quite doggie then Dachshunds are for you. Being small they don’t need so much space, and can be even a city dog. Their small legs make them think they have walked alot further than other dog types. And Dachshund puppies are really great pets, they would surprise you how smart these guys are. Charlie knows when it’s time to go for a walk, and he knows that when I dress him up that he is off to somewhere special. One famous  was Waldi, he was the Olympic Mascot in 1972, when the Olympic games were held in Munich Germany. Here is a picture of the official Mascot, all dressed up in the Olympic colors.

The Dachshund apparently was chosen because it had the attributes resistance, tenacity and agility which are all things that the athletes should also stride for. If you are thinking of getting one, I can promise you that you will have a great time being an owner of a Dachshund.

Again Andy found a great picture for us. This time we have a few dogs dressed up for a photo shoot with the Bananna giant Chiquita. These four souls were getting ready for a new advertising campaign. These outfits look like they could be reused to protect your little dog from the rain too. I wonder will the be commercially available, of course I would expect that they would be free or very cheap, otherwise I don’t see many people making such a fool out of their dog in order to keep them dry.

Don’t they look absolutely ludicrous ? A dog dressed like a Bananna ?

Here is Jake, proudly wearing his fire officer costume. This picture believe it or not was taken with a camera phone, hence it is a little smaller than our normal shots. If you are sending submissions do try and have them as BIG as possible (within reason that is)

Thanks to Andy for sending in this picture !

Hot Dogs are great, but a dog dressed as one looks even better ! Here is something we saw at Target a few weeks ago. It’s the whole kit to make your pup look like a dog.

We couldn’t find a picture of a dog in this, but here is a picture that Becky from Guide to Blogging sent us. The dogs are called jack and ike and the love eating hot dogs as well as dressing up as one some.

Here is Mattie, a little cold puppy, but he is sporting his new Christmas Dog Jumper. The jumper was a present from his girlfriend Queen Jessie for Christmas. To be honest he is not so happy with the whole present, seeing as the red doesn’t go with his eyes.

He is also a bit annoyed that his snow camoflage is ruined because of the dog jacket.

So you’ve been a fan of StarWars, now you need to get your dog dressed in this, it’s a Yoda the dog costume.

Here it is without the dog in it, but to get the full effect we needed to get a dog to model it. Here is Benny showing off this good looks dressed up as Yoda.

Here is a dog that just weights 18 oz !

At just 4.1 inches tall and weighing 18 ounces, Dancer the long-haired Chihuahua may be the world’s smallest dog. The record is currently held by a Slovakian dog that measured 5.4 inches. Dancer will have to wait until he is a year old before applying for the title of world’s smallest dog.

This is not the first time we have featured some dogs dressed up as Super-Dog but it is the first time we have two dogs together in their capes. Here is Gonzo & Mike who are ready to fight crime and all those who don’t pick up dog poop off the street. Gonzo & Mike are a pretty good team, don’t you think ?

 Sadly Mike was distracted at the wrong time in this picture.

Rex likes the fact that he looks famous, and he likes to show off his likeness to the Target Dog. Sadly you can’t get dog costumes at Target, but you can dress as the famous dog. Rex added the bow tie for added effect, he said that the females out there dig it. Jessie in her Queen’s outfit and Rex would be a great pair !

Rex would like to thank Target for the inspiration, and to thank Mary for holding his head straight while he was getting the make up done. This look is a lot harer than it seems at first.

A few days ago we posted about Buster the lion king dog, well here is Topsy, she also dressed up like a lion, and was really excited about having the best dog costume. Little did she know that Buster would be around and that he would have a better one than her. Topsy likes to pout a little, and her we can see her almost about to cry.

Cheer up Topsy, there is always next year!
