Feeling dog-tired by your summer clothes? Got a wardrobe that looks like a right dog's dinner? Or perhaps your hangers are all dog-eared and damaged? No matter what your wardrobe malfunction, we've found a solution in these ingenious and incredibly witty Animal Head Hangers from Firebox.com, which have been fashioned on the great British Bulldog.
In this month's Breed Focus we turn our attention to the dashing Dachshund a.k.a. the sausage dog, wiener dog (for our American fans), the Doxie or the Daxie Originating from Germany, they were first bred to scent, chase and flush out badgers and other burrow-dwelling animals, or in the case of the miniature dachshund - to hunt smaller pray such as rabbits. However, in today’s world he has a much easier life kicking back as a family pet but that's not to have they have surrendered their digging instincts – their large and paddle-shaped front paws are often used to dig into a blanket or an enticing patch in the garden.
At first we found the cushion and then we discovered that you can wear, accessorise and gift with Jamie Mitchell’s ‘Rejected’ line, featuring a playful Pug and posh Poodle illustration.
A pack of dogs (spot the Boston Terrier), ditsy dots and a renowned British designer; what’s not to love about the Paul Smith Dog Print Wallet?
It takes very little persuasion to make me wear stripes and the stripe of the sailor Breton variety is my all time favourite wardrobe staple. It’s also the kind of style that would suit all dogs and and both sexes so for the ultimutt ‘her and fur’ pairing we’re loving the Ahoy navy and white stripe dog collar from Ditsy Pet with prices starting at £10.95 upwards (matching lead also available) and for you, the Alburgh Breton Tee from Jack Wills priced at £34.50. Now who’s got a private luxury yacht for a dog-day at sea?

Inspired by our recent visit to Crufts and their Discover Dogs zone, we've decided to bring you a new feature, Breed Focus, which spotlights a different dog breed each month. While we were dazzled by the Crufts Best in Show winner the Basset Griffon Vendeen, it seemed only fair that the Boston Terrier was the star of our first breed focus given that we spend every day with one.
