Chiwawa is a dazzling striped sweater for your chihuahua or other small dog alike.

When the weather starts to get chilly, this sweater keeps your little one warm and eager to go on walks.

Sweater fit is snug around belly, so it fits male dogs also. My chihuahua boy Rafi (chest 30 cm, 2 kg) is modeling the sweater in size small in the pictures.
