Every proper pooch needs a bathing suit, right? What else is a dog to wear while lounging poolside or frolicking in the waves at a dog beach?

From teeny bikinis to more modest one-pieces, all the hottest canine swimsuits were on display at a doggy fashion show in Taipei, Taiwan last Wednesday, reports Fox News. As a James Brown song played in the background, a saucy pigtailed Bichon modeled a bikini with a sailboat motif, while a black and white French bulldog sauntered around in a pink and white polka dot bathing suit. What else is big this season? Bold prints, metallics, and Hawaiian styles.

Alas, the suits will only be available in Australia, China and Japan. Luckily, we've got plenty of our own dog-crazy fashion designers right here in America.
