Hi Diane, Bobby sounds adorable, so glad he has a lovely home now. You might want to try knitting a Whippet size coat for him, you can adjust the length by working fewer rows for a shorter one and you can find the downloadable patterns at http://www.greyhounds4me.co.uk/greyhounds4me-shop/ With regard to help and advice, we have an owners forum where you can share chat and photos and ask for advice etc and you can find the link at http://www.greyhounds4me.co.uk/forum/
Look forward to seeing you there
Val

Hi I like the look of yous knitted jumpers and would like to knit one for my own dog please can i have deatails how to purchase one
Bobby is the dog I want to make one for he was pulled out of the canal 6 wks ago aprox 6 weeks old could hardly walk and didnt know what to do with food all that has changed last week he weighed 9 kilos he is definately a lurcher cross looking on line possibly some saluki in him he is a pleasure to have he has given so many laughs
Have alrady gone through 2 coats [outgrown] so could you may be advise as to what age or length I should make the garmet I realize it is difficult not seeing him he is about 15in long from neck to tip of tail
I have done a lot of research on the net but is there any more hints you could give to keep him healthy as I have always had an older rescue dog not puppies or any sort of lurcher/greyhound
many thanks Diane

Like Mandy, I thank you very much for the free knitting pattern. I’m not a very experienced knitter but I want to try to make things for the two rescue retired greyhounds my brother and his partner have. The snoods will be a good start and I have bought a couple of other patterns so I have other items to aspire too I’m glad to have found your website. Many thanks again.

Hi Pauline, the greyhound coat pattern is written for a size 28 inch – measure from collar to base of tail – there are also instructions for adjusting the pattern for longer or shorter sizes. It fastens around the waist with 2 buttons on a knitted strap. Hope that helps

I love the christmas decorating story, I think this can also be applied to any party preparations, birthday present wrapping, washing and changing bed covers! My house is a lot less tidy these days but I still love him (the hound that is, not always the husband!)
