NoodleNut Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hi, I am posting here (under grooming), the Puli site and the General Dog Site in the hope of some responses. Hope that is not against the rules but I figured only Puli people will go into that list ... Noodle is attending obedience classes and coming home covered in leaf litter and sticks ..... Here is her picture so it will give you some idea of what I have to deal with EVERY weekend after training ... 1 hours of training + 4hours of grooming to pick all the bits out. Yes, this is a hazard with a Hungarian Puli but I wouldn't swap her for the world .... gorgous girl. I found this dog coat online and would love to know if anyone out there has a coat the same or similar that they use to keep their long haired breeds clean. http://www.hurttacollection.com/products?a...p;product_id=75 The coat fulfils every criteria I want in a coat; covers the the legs (the plant matter sticks like VELCRO!), covers the tummy, light, hardier than just a lycra or fabric coat, waterproof and breathable and big enought to be able to vbe still active. Would also be great down at the beach to prevent sand and seaweed What have any of you go by way of coats and fulfilling this 'criteria' I have ordered two lycra suits fo Noodle but I fear they wont have the durability that a suit like this one would have.

squeak Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 These are listed as dog "pajamas" but might suit your needs... http://www.kickatinalong.com.au/parade.htm Or, you could try Flupplies website - if you email them, I am fairly sure they can make just about anything you want. Had excellent customer service when I dealt with them. A link to give you some ideas of what they can do... http://www.fluppies.com.au/category190_1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ordered two, one in the lycra and one in a jersey ... they also have good coverage. I just also like the waterproof and breathability of the Hurtta overalls and wondered if there was anything similar here in Australia or where you can get the Hurtta coats from/others experiences with them. Hopefully wont have to do as much grooming after training with one of the Fluppies on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP* Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Please post if you find anything like the jacket. I have been contemplating trying to make something myself. I have the same problem with Shelties - we go bushwalking almost everyday and I spend as much time picking out seeds and burrs than on the walk. And lately with the morning fog and dew (and if it ever rains) they get really muddy bellys and hocks so a coat that covers this area would be great - and one that breathes and does not make them hot (double coat after all).

I think I found it!!!! Woohooo ... not cheap ... I have contacted them and awaiting some further information about shipping costs, sizing and durability of the Hurtta waterproof Pro overalls and the Hurtta Waterproof Sport Overalls. I so hope this might be the answer after spending another 3 hours yesterday washing and picking bits out of my Puli's coat after training .... can't keep this up. http://www.camddwrcanine.co.uk/xcart/produ...at=0&page=1 http://www.camddwrcanine.co.uk/xcart/produ...at=0&page=1 http://www.camddwrcanine.co.uk/xcart/manuf...nufacturerid=15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greytdog Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) Might they be a bit hot (the hurtta)? Edited February 24, 2009 by greytdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoodleNut Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Here is my Fluppies coat!! Woohoo .. this should cut the grooming down by half on training days! Woohoo. it is made of a stretch cotton (less chance of getting bits sticking to it and being damaged. Noodle also has the same in a lycra for the beach ... should stop at least some sand from getting all over her in the cooler months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
