In general most dogs look good in black. The color of Aqua is stunning on a white coat. Dressing your dog in the right color is a little hard than with humans. Have fun experimenting with which colors look best on your dog. What really counts most is that you adore your dog. Dressing your dog helps to communicate those adoration feelings you have for him, and you know that dog will feel the same way about you! |
