    With the bow but why is it pink (the dog not the bow)? All the others are vaguely dog coloured but the chi is pink:eek:

    I know it says they come in any colour in the breed info but I'm sceptical that includes pink, somehow a pink poodle is more believable but that's probably my age as I'm sure they used to dye them in the '60's

    Without.


    I feel strongly it gives the wrong impression of a rough tough little dog, Betty wears clothes only to protect her from cold and wet, other than that she runs with the big dogs, quite a rough and tumble little thing. Our late rosie a long coat was just the same always kept up even led our pack of larger terriers. But mainly it's absolutely impossible to put a bow on a short coat Chihuahua they have no hair to tie it to, even long coats have fairly short hair on their heads.
    It just makes breedia look unprofessional IMO to have a bow on any of the dogs, but seems to be saying Chihuahuas are less than they can be and should be dressed and primped and preened which I find quite sad. Too many people carry them everywhere they need to be treated like dogs and allowed to walk and rough and tumble with the rest.

    Yes but as it isn't the only pink dog in the list I am just putting that down to bad luck rather than deliberately adding a bow. TBH it looks very amateurish/childishly drawn (sorry who ever did it) when I look for information on dogs I look for more adult finished products.

    I love the little cartoon representations of dogs :) I think they are fun and unique.
    I would I rather have them than photographs or more detailed interpretations :D

    Thanks Meg.

    I think sometimes people don't appreciate just how much hard work goes into illustrations - if you look at ours, they are all symmetrical ...a style that is even more difficult to achieve (especially when you are trying to represent dog breeds). Thanks again :)

    I accept they won't be to everyone's taste tho :lol:

    I think it depends what you are representing, a serious dog resource which I thought you were trying to create would not IMO have pink cartoon dogs with bows in hair they do not even have.
