I’ll freely confess to being a ‘dog person’.  I had fur babies long before I had the human variety, and I still think there’s nothing like a dog for giving unstinting and constant affection while being as un-demanding as you could expect a living creature to be.

Luckily for me, my two-year-old son agrees – he loves dogs and anything with a picture of a dog on it.  Ange gave him a large Brio Dachshund for his birthday which he adores, and so I’ve gone on the hunt for other cool kids products with a canine theme. Turns out there’s loads out there, and it’s all so cute! Dachshunds in particular are a hot design theme right now, which I intend to make the most of.

Below are a range of my favourite doggy products for discerning tots, both from Australian sites and some of the best of overseas. Enjoy!

1. BRIO Dachshund Pull-Along Dog – Small, $29.95 and Large $159.95 from Entropy
2. Urban Elk Dog Print Sweater Dress, $89.95 from I Want Fabulous
3. Ride-On Dog Moonhopper, NZ$29.00 from Pipsqueaks (NZ) (these are brilliant for toddlers; a friend has one and it’s a permanent favourite with every kid who visits her house)
4. No Added Sugar Blue Sausage Dog Shoes, $43.95 $34.92 from Minifashionista
5. Snoffs Red Dog Blanket, $57.95 from Baby Goes Retro
6. Offi Dachshund Light, £52.00 from Nubie (UK)
7. Ej Sikke Lej Doggy Summersuit – part of the Spring/Summer ’09/10 Collection and hopefully available in Australia soon.
8. Magis Puppy Chair, $119.00 at UrbanBaby
9. Djeco Brownie & Tractor Puzzle, $25.00 $22.00 from The Toy Bug
10. Ride-On Dogs – Golden Retriever and Dalmation, £55.00ea £38.00ea from Red Direct (UK)
11. Fred Flare Hot Dog Tote Bag, USD$26.00 (I thought this bag was too cute to leave out, but tragically Fred Flare doesn’t ship to Australia. You can still get it if you subscribe to a mail forwarding service in the US)

As always, please check individual sites for postage details, and have a look at the KidStyleFile All Current Deals page to make sure you’re getting the best deal on your purchase.

New products, just in from London, and exclusive to Minifashionista, are the No Added Sugar bio-degradable Shoes, and from the US, Egg by Susan Lazar, and Fleurville Nappy Bags.

Minifashionista has been exclusively stocking the No-Added Sugar clothing range, to the joy of appreciative shoppers, for the last year. Minifashionista are now also exclusive Australian stockists of the super-hot No Added Sugar Shoes.

The beauty of these shoes lies not just in their stunning design, but how they are made. No Added Sugar shoes are handmade using luxury soft chrome-free leathers, and natural dyes free of heavy metals. These shoes are actually biodegradable! Kind to babies and the environment; that’s smart!

Available in pre-walker sizes 6-12 mths, and toddler 12-18 mths, for $43.95 a pair – $37.35 with 15% discount

Stay tuned for No Added Sugar’s Winter Clothing Range arriving at Minifashionista soon.

The Egg by Susan Lazar range is comprised of cable knit layettes, blankets, hats, and booties. The range also includes a bamboo co-ordinates line. Bamboo is hypoallergenic, naturally antibacterial and has a soft silky feel and is also the fastest growing plant in the world, making it the most sustainable of all natural fibres. Sweet!

Fleurville Sling-Tote Nappy Bags, new to the Australian market, are synonymous with style and functionality. They can be carried 3 ways: over the shoulder as a tote, as a messenger bag, or attached to your pram/stroller. They are laid out impeccably and with pragmatism; with lots of pockets, a changing cloth, a see through wipe case, an insulated bottle holder and more.

Fleurville is environmentally aware and active, and Fleurville products are created with Fleurville’s revolutionary polyurethane laminate Green-LAM™. Green-LAM™ has superior attributes like moisture–repellency, UV-resistance, and overall durability, and is non-toxic, unlike PVC, which is more commonly used for applications such as these.

The ‘Pink Stripe’ and ‘Blue Chocolate’ Sling-Tote Nappy Bags pictured above are $199.00 each $169.15 with 15% discount.

Also, keep your eyes peeled for BENK hand knitted hats from the Netherlands, coming very soon exclusively to Minifashionista. Way cool!
