Norskgra Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Brock, our HamiltonStovare, had to have part of his intestines removed when he was younger due to a blockage. Since then, we haven't been able to get weight on him. When we moved to SA, the boarding kennels we used tried to get weight on him as well but failed. He doesn't carry any excess weight at all and is feeling the cold. The boarding kennels even bought him a coat but Brock ate it. Luckily he didn't get another blockage. I was thinking that maybe a knitted jumper might be better for him and he may not be able to eat it as easily as there won't be any loose bits. He has a similar shape to a Greyhound and I was wondering if anyone has a knitting pattern for a Greyhound jumper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmurps Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I think here may have something of use. I can't knit but you may be able to adjust a pattern to size. There is a pattern for a whippet. http://www.theaussieknittingco.com.au/product/book209 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirty Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I found a lady who makes greyhound coats on Ebay. If you google 'greyhound coats' her links should come up. They are very cheap so eaily replaced if the dog eats them, and she will make them to order for the same price. I have lots of her coats here (because my dogs destroy coats and I was wasting my money on expensive ones) and they are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also like to knit one as I am in the mood for knitting at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirty Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 There is a member on here who has just knitted a dog coat - I think her name is Michelleva?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whippetsmum Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Have a look in The Pinned topics, under Pet Craft links, I posted a knitted pattern there that I got from K9 Communities in the UK. Also the Panda knitting book has a pattern that will fit greyhounds, but is modelled by a Whippet in the booklet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
