Dogs aren’t exactly the pickiest of beasts. Their tastes in food are so indiscriminant as to be appalling, and they certainly have no qualms about stinking to high heaven. It follows, then, that they aren’t looking for much in the way of home decoration. Four solid walls and a leak-free roof are all they really ask, and anything beyond that is just a bonus.

People, on the other hand, can be extremely picky. They want nothing but the best for their cherished pets, and this can extend as far as an extravagant dog house. Dog houses add character to a backyard – they could almost be considered a piece of décor in their own right. For that reason, designer dog houses have seen increased popularity in recent years. Even if dogs don’t demonstrate impeccable taste, that’s what their owners are for.
