Anatomy of a Roughriding Chihuahua

Anatomy of a Roughriding Chihuahua

Being a spokes-dog means answering a lot of tough questions, like Weren’t you in those taco commercials? Or Shouldn’t you be on a leash? And my favorite:  Are you housebroken?

The first rule of roughriding Chihuahuas:  you can’t leash us.  Forget about it.  As for the other questions, read on:

What’s the difference between a regular Chihuahua and, well, you?

A bandana.  My awesome fashion sense.  A love of barbecue.  And a bad attitude.

Describe your perfect Western outfit.

First off, I know this isn’t a question, but it still deserves some attention.

I say, always go with what feels comfortable and looks good.  I like to pair a lot of classic Western shirts with unusual details – like a Hawaiian print.  A solid color or striped Western shirt will work just fine in most cases.

Secondly, you’ve gotta have the right jeans.  Now I’m pretty particular, and I wear my classic slim cut Stetsons in a stone wash everywhere to show everyone what I’m working with.  But if I’m feeling a little more adventurous, I might throw on a pair of destructed dark wash jeans, just to change it up.

If I’ve got a little more time, I’ll top it all off with a belt and a good spritz of cologne before hitting the road – I try my best just to look simple, easy, and always cool.

What’s your urban cowboy must-have fashion staple?

Cowboy boots make the cowboy and go with everything – designer jeans, cut off shorts, a pair of cords.  Most of the time I’ll pair some boots with a denim collar … and nothing else.

Hey, where’d you get that cool cowboy belt buckle, doggy?

Which belt buckle are you referring to, you dumb manwich?  But seriously, I match all my belt buckles to my ensemble:  the horseshoe belt buckle is for fancy occasions, like a summer pool party;  my longhorn steer belt buckle always wins over dates;  and I show my sensitive side with an everyday floral belt buckle made for men.

I got them all at UWC – you can find them here.  Thanks for your question.

What do you do for fun?

Fun?  I’m a working dog.  (But when I’m not out on the ranch or perfecting my moonshine, I like to watch The Hills and go out for sushi.)

Chihuahua, how do you make up for your stature?  Have you ever gotten trampled?

Grrrr.  Never had any close calls, ‘specially not when I’m wearing these.
