Dog clothes

Quote

Demand for traditional German clothing such as lederhosen for dogs is said to be increasing in the run up to Oktoberfest.

As well as the traditional leather shorts for male dogs, there are mini 'dirndl' dresses with frilly lace collars and matching hats for female dogs.

Designer Hildegard Bergbauer, who owns a shop selling traditional German clothing for humans, came up with the idea.

She said: "I have always been fascinated by canine clothing and see no reason why German shepherds can't show off their heritage by wearing traditional clothes.

"If humans can run around in leather shorts and knee-length socks, or frilly smocks, then I thought, why can't dogs?"

She now has a wide collection of traditional dresses, miniature bonnets and cowhide shorts with tooled leather suspenders.

"The idea has gone down really well," said Bergbauer whose shop is in Bavaria. "People think it's a lot of fun.

"The clothes are not only fashionable but can also be useful, especially for short-haired dogs. It can get very chilly in southern Germany and in winter we get a lot of snow."

You know all their dog friends laugh at them.

We give dogs names, but you know they have their own.

You need to get Pedro a Viking hat with horns. He's much to fierce for normal headwear.

What kind of people would do that to a dog?

I spoke to her about it. As soon as she gets finished packing my rig, she's going to take the shoes off her dog.
