Over the centuries, specific breeds of dogs have gone in and out of fashion, accentuating the trends from nobility to the runway. Through paintings, fashion photography, and accessories, this exhibition chronicles the rise and fall of dogs in fashion.
"Fashionable Dogs," on view now at the AKC Museum of the Dog, tracks the arc of popularity of several breeds through recent history, diving deep into breeds such as the Borzoi, Greyhound, Poodle, Pekingese, Japanese Chin, French Bulldog, and Great Dane. It is an exhibit exploring the role of dogs in art, fashion, and American history. Definitely worth checking out. A rich educational experience full of dogs and great art. The Dog Museum is conveniently located near NYC's Grand Central Station. A must see if you are a dog lover and want to learn more about the world of dogs and their role in society from pets to show dogs to police and military dogs. The exhibit runs through December 31.

Here I am enjoying the "fashionable" poodle, one of my favorite breeds featured in the exhibit. I grew up with a poodle. My beautiful black and white beauty, Cindy, in #petheaven #rainbowbridge is my poodle angel. Poodles have played a prominent role in dog and fashion art, particularly when they became an especially popular breed int the 50s. Did you know the original dog for the skirt was actually not a poodle?
