Personally, my dog -hates- any sort of clothing or "dress up" item we've subjected her to. We put reindeer antlers on her at Christmas. She had them off in seconds. <br /> <br /> The only time it really served a purpose was when she was about two months old and she'd literally shake from the cold. We gave her a sweater. <br /> <br /> Other than that, I really don't see a point to it. <br /> <br /> And I think it looks stupid.

Its like, what if you put a lion in a dress. The 'king of the jungle' so to speak.<br /> <br /> I dont think anyone who dresses there dog is going to run out and try and squeeze a lion into a dress. because no matter what you put the lion into, its still goina bit your head off. it dosent change the animal in any way.

04-26-2011 at 12:24 AM

It wouldn't change my impression of the animal at all. People dress their dogs up all the time - does that make me think all dogs are sissybabies now? No. It doesn't change anything IMO

I'm saying<br /> A wolf is an image of beauty, of power, courage and strength.<br /> Dogs reflect that, too me.<br /> Its like, what if you put a lion in a dress. The 'king of the jungle' so to speak. Except for me, I find the wolf much prettier and just so beautiful. Imagine an animal that you love, because of it's strength and beauty, and throw it in a dress.

To say "dogs are colorblind" means that dogs cannot see any colours and see in shades of gray/white/black... <br /> <br /> no to say colorblind is to know what it means. i had a friend who was colorblindm he painted a beach bright orange because he thought it was yellow. dose that mean he never saw colors? No, it means theres a gap in what colors he can see.

<i>"Imagine a wolf in some sort of frilly dress. That. is disgusting."</i><br>Okay, I am. Now what? How does that change the wolf in any way? What if instead of a dress, he was wearing a hat? Or a bandana around his neck?

04-26-2011 at 12:02 AM

Exactly Kne. I'd prefer if there was a reason. I'm saying, in my personal opinion, that I do not like pink frilly dresses on dogs. I mean, putting a frilly dress on a small breed.<br /> Whats next?<br /> Imagine a wolf in some sort of frilly dress. That. is disgusting. That is what the human race is morphing what used to be an amazing, courage symbolizing species.<br /> I mean come ON. How courageous is a pink frilly dress?

<i>"Yeah as i said dogs ARE colorblind. whats your point?"</i><br>To say "dogs are colorblind" means that dogs cannot see any colours and see in shades of gray/white/black... dogs are partially colorblind, because they can still see shades of blue and stuff. They are not fully colorblind

&lt;I think that animals should be used for what they were bred for, not for entertainment by putting clothes on it.<br /> Border collies were ment to herd, not be dressed up.<br /> German shepherds were ment to herd(i think..)And protect. Not be dressed up.<br /> Huskies were ment to run. Not to be dressed up.><br /> <br /> It is inhumane to use a lot of dogs for what they were bred for now a days. Such as American Pit Bull Terriers, Dachshunds, American Bulldogs, Dogo Argentino, I can go on. <br /> <br /> My German Shepherd mix has Schutzhund training, that's what the breed has been created for, for the last few hundred years or so. He could still work and wear a shirt. :p Although I'm not for dressing up my own dog unless there's a reason.

Jambers- this is from your website, that YOU posted.<br /> "1.Can dogs see colors? — Answer: Yes<br /> 2.Are dogs colorblind? — Answer: Yes<br /> <br /> Yeah as i said dogs ARE colorblind. whats your point?<br /> <br /> Border collies were ment to herd, not be dressed up.<br /> <br /> My Penny LIKES getting dressed up, she dosent understand whats going on besides shes getting a lot of positive attachion and shes happy with that. <br /> <br />

<i>Border collies were ment to herd, not be dressed up.<br>German shepherds were ment to herd(i think..)And protect. Not be dressed up.<br>Huskies were ment to run. Not to be dressed up.</i><br><br>Well, these breeds were meant to work, so we may as well only have these breeds if we're going to work them. So we should just not own those breeds, right? That's ridiculous. Dogs don't care if they're dressed up, they don't care if they're wearing the frilliest, pinkest dress on the face of the planet.

I still say it depends on the dog. Some are okay with it, some aren't. <br /> <br /> As for being embarrassed, well, I doubt that. Uncomfortable or anxious, yes, but your male dog isn't going to be embarrassed if you put him in a pink shirt.

04-25-2011 at 8:10 AM

dogs can see shades of particuler color but thats not what color blind meens. look at the sorce it explains it better than i can

04-25-2011 at 7:57 AM

<i>"embarassing to the animals??? We are talking about a dog that pees on the grass in the frunt yard right?"</i><br><br>Hahhaa this is sooo true. Dogs don't care what they're wearing, they don't care what embarrassing or dumb things they do. I've seen a dog roll around in horse poop right in front of me.. chances are he aint gonna care if he gets dressed up like SuperMan.<br>& no, dogs aren't colorblind, they see in shades of blue.<br><br><i>"I got it, Girly girls who force the same thing on their animals even if they don't like it."</i><br><br>Uhmmm I'm not a girly guy and I find it hilarious to put clothes on my cats.<br><br><i>"Yeah im shure the dog dosent like being around with her owner all day...how bad.."</i><br><br>What HempDog said is true, and they also tend to have witch-nail claws because they never naturally wear down their claws on pavement. Not only that, but the people who carry dogs around tend to own the dogs as accessories, so the dogs never get to socialize properly with other dogs and turn into shaking messes. They need exercise, they need to run. Small dogs have lots of energy and will not get tired walking on a leash.

04-25-2011 at 7:41 AM

I got it, Girly girls who force the same thing on their animals even if they don't like it.<br /> *snaps fingers* Yep. Thats it.<br /> <br /> Whys it got to be the "girly girls" thing? Ive seen guys who dress up there pets as well.

04-25-2011 at 7:31 AM

<i>"Yeah im shure the dog dosent like being around with her owner all day...how bad.."</i><br /> <br /> It's actually really bad for the dog when owners carry them around all the time. It will often cause them to stress and shake when they get set down because they get overwhelmed. It can also make them frail if the owners don't let them run around enough. Dogs arn't meant to be an accessory, they are meant to be dogs.<br /> <br /> I think whether or not dogs wear clothes should depend on the individual dog. I have seen some who don't mind it but some who absolutely hate it. If they hate it, don't put it on them. <br /> <br /> I have no problem with doggles, bandanas, or crazy color collars though. Coats and booties are acceptable if the dog really requires it.<br />

04-25-2011 at 7:30 AM

My dog is odd, he dislikes wearing bandannas, he'll try to grab and pull them off. Yet a tie doesn't bother him at all. Shirts don't bother him, he's used to weight pulling and working in a harness.
