Tecnica is still around, and still selling boots. But none lined with dog fur any more, as far as I can tell.

Around this time, furry animal figurines were popular at malls and gift shops. Supposedly they were made of dog fur. True or not, they soon became very unpopular.

If you buy a knock-off version of high end parka, the fur trim on the hood will probably be dog.
The fur trim is not just a fashion thing.
