Dog Costumes

Dog Costumes Biography
I'm a life long dog lover and have been sewing for nearly as long.  In 2001 I decided to combine my two loves, and Howlin' Hounds was born.

 I started out just making snoods for long eared dogs, and over the years the collection has grown to include coats, visors, custom costumes and accessories for dog loving humans.

watched a fascinating show last night, BBC 'Horizon: The Secret Life of the Dog,' and got to thinking about dogs of the past, and what is a "period correct" dog. I think this is a question that pops up in every dog-owning costumer's mind, at some point, when considering if his or her dog could attend faires and events...I suppose as a costume "prop?" I know I've thought about it...

Amongst the abundance of saccharine animal costumes overflowing from party store shelves, there’s a select group of pet owners who have taken matters into their own hands. These innovative animal lovers have looked to literature, art, and history for costumes to create for their four-legged critters for All Hallows’ Eve, with results that are not only adorable, but inspiring. We’ve rounded up the best highbrow pet costumes you’ll see this Halloween, with appearances by doggy Romeo and Juliet, a headless Marie Antoinette, and even Andy Warhol.
