A canine fashion show at a car show? That red carpet would probably be candy apple red!
The Barrett-Jackson car show is an annual event held in Scottsdale, Arizona. The event plays host to over a quarter million attendees! This year they added something new and it was called the Lifestyle Pavilion. More than 225 vendors showcasing products and services such as automotive, luxury lifestyle products including men’s and women’s fashion, unique jewelry, clothing, furniture, artwork, collectibles, home entertainment, real estate, home builders, luxury motor homes, and even private aircraft. And PETS! Now if you are familiar with Scottsdale then you know it’s a pretty fashionable place and has a ton of upscale shopping for people….but this year we turned Barrett-Jackson into the place to be for every fashionable pet and it all turned into the scene of the largest all-pet fashion show Scottsdale has ever seen…and by far one of the largest dog houses I have seen up close! So the whole day was just one huge, glamorous, fun-filled pet extravaganza! The event showcased dozens of beautiful outfits for dogs to strut down the, uhh cat-walk right before my very eyes. I had the luxury of a press pass with front row seats to capture all the action and stunning fashions. The dog fashions were the custom designs of Barking Baby, where all the fashionable dogs shop! From sequined hoodies to spring dresses with coordinating leashes to hats fit for the Kentucky Derby check out the show:
When we got there, they were still building the world's largest dog house...well probably just the largest one I have ever seen, but still very impressive. It was built by IMAGE Home Improvement. And the final stage was set and I had to admire that great logo again!
Andi Barness from Sonoran Living was the MC of the Pet Pawshion Show at Barrett Jackson last week. All these gorgeous pet fashions were made by Barking Baby. Barking Baby, Apparel & Accessories for Your Fashionable Dog!
This is Luna and Thumbilina, Luna is a therapy pony and Thumbilina is the smallest dog I have ever seen!
There was also a pretty impressive dog training demo by Your Dog Guru. They use a no-force approach to dog training and their primary goal is to have your dog wanting to work for you and not against you! So please take a look at Ben, a German Short Haired Pointer doing a pretty impressive little trick…May have to give these guys a call for dog training in the future!
Several vendors were on hand to showcase their products including PetsWeekly, Happy Tails Barkery (bakers of Mason approved treats), Bellas House/Pet Sitting, Smelly Dogs AZ, Horses Help, Gabriels Angels, Bowser Beer for Dogs!, CactusCanine, Barking Baby, Seven Dogs Grooming & Boutique and others! Overall, I think the diva dogs had a great time, several posers in the group! It was a great day for the fashionable dogs of Arizona!
