STRAUBING, Germany (Reuters) - Dogs in the German state of Bavaria can now blend in with the local Alpine scenery wearing the same traditional attire worn by their owners -- lederhosen.
Dogwear designer Hildegard Bergbauer, who also makes Tyrolean mountain hats and rainwear for canines, said the leather outfits were best suited for dachshunds and other small dogs but also looked good on poodles, spaniels and boxers.
"There are lederhosen for the dogs and Dirndls for the bitches," she said on Wednesday.
"The idea has gone down really well; people think it's a lot of fun."
Bergbauer said some items were more practical than others.
"The hats aren't so handy for going on walks," she said. "But the lederhosen are fine once the dog gets used to them."
