Greyhound Dog Sweater

[Rosemary]

Here is a picture of a fisherman's style sweater that I crocheted for my son's greyhound. Joseywales (the dog) was adopted by my son from a rescue group for retired greyhound racng dogs. I used a pattern specifically made for greyhounds that I bought from a seller on ebay. (the seller uses the profits from sales to help rescued greyhounds). I used Paton's Aran wool.

I wanted to show another photo of Josey with the detachable hood. I have never posted photos before, and I am hoping that they are showing up.http://pic6.picturetrail.com/VOL144/1001869/1866308/123386734.jpg

That sweater is great! I bet your son won't be able to walk that gorgeous dog 2 feet without being stopped by someone admiring it! Good job!:clap

Thank you, every one. Greyhounds are such an odd shape, I was lucky to find a crochet pattern for him. It took some searching to find one.
I think CuppyPuppy is real cute, too.

[threeolivemartini]

I love the sweater! I know several people with rescued greyhounds, and they all wear coats in the winter and not a one is as gorgeous as yours. Be careful--ou may find yourself with a cottage industry on your hands. Joseywales and Cuppy Puppy are both adorable dogs. I think my girl dog would fall in love if she ever saw either. Patty

Thank you all for the nice comments. Joseywales was named Nitro Joseywales when she was a racing dog. My son and his girlfriend just call her Josey; though I like to say Joseywales.
She has a store-bought snow coat and fall jacket. She was still chilly in their apartment, though, which is why I made her the wool sweater. Living in Toronto, he even wears booties.

The dog sweater is the first thing that I have crocheted that I think is good. (besides scarves). My mitts, etc. are still less than great, but the sweater was easy to follow.
I have an adopted Westie dog, and she thought that Josey's sweater was a blankie for her.
