The little dog market is flooded with every type of silly to fashionable type of clothing you can think of, but it's difficult to find fashionable clothing suited for big dogs."

If you’re eager for a sneak peek at the company’s 2007 designs, visit www.rosannainc.com where you can see and buy her latest creations before they hit stores.
