How funny would it be if they made dog customes "dogs"? Like if our basenjis could dress up like a german shepard or a dalmation. HA! That would be sooooo hysterical. I would love to get Mick a Dingo costume!

LOL. Keep the apple bitter on hand if you put cotton balls on any costume for a basenji!!! Dallas adores shredding them.
He's actually going to be a horse, with a cowboy on his back this year. Here's the costume:

I'm turning a pink pig costume into the energizer bunny for Beegin. Nothing could be more apt for him. I'm currently trying to find/make the small sunglasses I'll need.

The first year we have Capt Jack we went to the PetSmart costume contest. I dressed up like a Sailor with "Go Navy Beat Army" on my back and Jack went dressed in Army Uniform with "Go army Sink Navy" on his back and we won!!! It was awesome! Jack had no problem with a army uniform on lol, hat and all!! It was a blast!! Ill NEVER forget how excited we all were that we won! and there were some awesome costumes too!

OMG, I laughed so hard when I saw this costume. I have to get this one for Nemo. I can only imagine the look on his face.

I wanted a Yoda costume (since he has built-in yoda ears) but it looks like the official one isn't of reliable quality.

I saw a Yoda costume for dogs. I can't for the life of me remember where, but that is what I thought Dash could be.

I'm entering Dallas into a local contest where the winner gets $2500!!! So, I decided against the cowboy one, as it's not creative enough. Not I am thinking of a boxer [the athlete not the dog] since Dallas does the up trick where he gets on his hind legs & his paws are out in the air. It's cute. Anyway, I need to find him some funny looking shorts & a tiny sweat band :p Also, obviously, boxing gloves! Any ideas on additions to this?

wow 2500! Good Luck! Thats awesome! When Jack Won we got a Gift Card to Petsmart and a Treat Basket (like a fruit basket) for Jack it was AWESOME! Thats a Cute Idea. May I recommend that you dress up too? I believe that is what REALLY gave me the upper hand in our contest, no one else dressed up. maybe you could be a boxer too? and even make a makeshift ring for the presentation? Thatd win for sure!!

Yea I was thinking of making some kid of ring for him to pose in. It's actually a photo contest. I considered dressing up a stuffed animal as well to make him look like he's boxing the stuffed animal. Maybe I will make the stuffed animal laying on it's side like Dallas knocked him out :p I will certainly post any photos I take!

A black eye!! A little theatrical grease paint will do the trick!! You could do the referee dress up part and pose lifting the winning paw high in the air:D (That would steady him for the photo op as well)
Edit with another thought…..The boxing shorts could have that wide band they wear with the sponsoring companies logo front and center on his tummy when he stands up to be named the "champ". (That might be considered pandering, but alls fair in love and costume contest, right???)

our male basenji who doesn't really mind being dressed up goes trick or treating every year to our vet's office. We bring a big pumpkin filled with candy for the staff. He gets lots of ooh's and aah's and they get the candy. He gets treats from the staff. It makes for a fun vet visit instead of the ususal. This year he will be a devil, very appropiate for a basenji. If our little girl would tolerate a costume she could be the "angel" that she really isn't
Fun is had by all.
