No, this is not my latest listing in Pinecrest. This is one of the cutest dog houses I've ever seen! I was driving west on 152nd Street and had to do a 180 so I could appreciate these little homes closer. They impressed me to no end.
The luxury dog houses are created by Ricardo and Janeth. He is a master carpenter who specializes in custom yacht carpentry. As the luxury market had dwindled a bit, so did the amenities associated with it. In a moment of inspiration they decided to make custom homes for our furry friends.
My precious Fifi and Lola would love to live in any one of these homes. There's the little red shingled barn, a boat house with its crisp white paint, chimney stack and shiny golden anchor (and look at those porthole windows!), and the stone villa, with its textured walls, and windowed gable. Sooooo cute!
The attention to detail in these homes is impressive. To order your own custom home for your furry best friend, you can contact Ricardo or Janeth at 786.285.9431

Hi Maggie~ Why not have the very best for our canine friends?
Maggie: this is some great carpentry! This is a winner. I wonder what they cost. Amazing that they were in the custom yacht finish carpentry before that. These guys know how to adapt. Thanks for sharing.
Vickie, I agree! Not only are they beautiful, they are so functional. They have tiled floors and proper ventilation. Nothing's too good for our poochies.
Lloyd, they actually still do the yacht work, but orders have been slow lately. They have their warehouse they work out of and are legit. They charge $500 and up for these and I think they are worth every penny. I could not stop marvelling at the handiwork involved. These were quality creations.
Hi Maggie,
Wow, these are great and what a good idea for your friends as the luxury market has slowed...yet doggie lovers, that may be a different thing.
Maggie,
These homes are so cute. With Americans getting more an more pets (this industry grew 10 times during the past 15 years), there should be a market for your beloved pets.
Maggie, these are cute. I think my pup Tiki-Tiki would like it. like Jon stated there is a potential in the pet market with so many owners.
Lynda, I agree! No matter what, the doggie lovers make sure their babies are pampered.
Jon, I had no idea of the numbers. Wow! But seeing doggies fully dressed and in baby strollers was the tip-off that this was more than just a passing craze.
Eva, that is such a cute name! Please post a picture of Tiki-Tiki if you head back over here.
Maggie,
Creative post. We have a cat which enjoys sleeping on the bed, so we are not in the market for a cat house. Who knows - maybe if we had a dog. :)

Hi Maggie-
How cute is this...what a clever idea! Thanks for sharing.

Cal, our 2 cats and 2 dogs would love it if we were as generous as you =) - we''re not LOL We already have to fight them for the sofa. =)
Essie, oh, if you could only see them in person. I could not stop comlimenting them. They were soooooooo cute!
Hi Maggie, I just love these. I've seen something similar in California with a builder turned tree house builder for kids. The design on these is just awesome. We do pamper our pets!
Best Regards, Jay
Jay, thanks for stopping by. Those tree houses sound awesome. I just love to see good craftsmanship at all levels. I can imagine how nice those are!
Wow these are outrageous! I love them!
Deb, me too! I loved them so much I told them I would help them get a website started so they can display their beautiful creations.
