Re: Dogs in clothes
There are worst things people can do I'd rather see someone loving their dog too much and dressing it up than the neglect some lavish on them.Some of mine have worn clothes at times thin coated breeds allergy sufferers even nervous dogs have benefitted from close fitting clothing, it calms them for some reason.
Betty loves her jumpers and t shirts she knows when I get them out its time for a walk, so happily wears them I think she actually likes the sensation of people smiling at her as she cocks her head up and walks more proudly
Party time we'll sometimes dress them but only the dogs who enjoy it I've never forced the issue. They are part of the family we treat them as such dont much mind if people find me odd who wants to be normal anyway

Re: Dogs in clothes
We took in a poodle from a broken home, and loved her to pieces. Of course, Mum got her into the dog parlour regularly, for her shampoo and cut, but I preferred looking at her scruffy coat!I still can't decide what breed to get, but may now even consider a Staffie. Battersea has a lot of them for rehoming, and I commented on this to a member of staff when I visited a while ago.

Re: Dogs in clothes
My nephew has always had staffies, Julie, and currently has two. I'm sure he'd sing their praises if I was to ask his personal opinion.But thinking about it, isn't it up to the owner to reassure others and re-educate them, by reiterating they are a different breed to pit bulls and not on the banned list? And that, as was put across last night, they are loyal and loving? That one with the young girl was just dopey!
