Warm coats for cold long dogs!

Bbrrrr, it was cold this morning! We had another frost last night and Bindi is still in her jarmies by the fire. It looks like I won't be getting any modelling photos done for a while. 😖

Customers often ask me what weight coat I use for various activities. Of course, it depends on how cold your winters are and whether your hound is a hot or cold one but my greyhound Bindi wears a single fleece coat for walking and a double fleece or wool coat for sleeping. My greyhound X Frank feels the cold more and usually wears a double fleece for walking and wool for sleeping.

And this gorgeous gal is Charlie the labradoodle. Her mum, Felicity, had her coat custom made too and those royal purples are just right for this beautiful lady. Stay snug Charlie, it's getting cold!

I've been so busy answering messages and making coats I have forgotten to add to my hall of fame pics! This is the adorable Lemmy. His mum, Em, has been buying my coats for a few years now and this year he had a new one custom made. Those soft blues look lovely with his pale colouring, an all round great choice!

...and SNAP! Just like that it's winter here in the Hunter Valley and the wool coats are out! I have bright colours available in the ready made coats...perfect for any colour hound.

Cold days are for snuggling! Beautiful Vaya has a new winter coat just in time for this winter blast and wow!, those colours look fabulous with her brindle markings. Thanks so much to mum Kylee for the pics and kind words!😍

I know it HOT HOT HOT right now here in Australia but things are really cooling down now for my lovely international customers. This dear little man is Moby, one of my regular customers from Switzerland. He's 15 now and loves his coats. They look fabulous on him too and it warms my heart to know he's snuggled up warm over there while we sweat it out over here! Thanks so much to mum Laura for sharing!😍

This post is a double whammy of cuteness! These handsome chaps and fur cousins are Spud, the boxer and Ziggy, the whippet. Spud had been admiring his cousin's coat and so Mum bought him not one, but two of his own...And doesn't he look splendid?! Ziggy looks amazing too. Thanks to Varda and Leora for sharing the pics. 😍

I hope your weekend was relaxing like Hunter's was. Her new coat arrived just in time for weekend parading! Thanks for the pics Ashleigh! 😍

12/07/2023

This is Samba and he's as lively as his name suggests. He's doing that little happy dance a hound does when they get a new coat! Thanks to mum Rebecca for the pics and the giggles :)

These two sweet peas are Cookie and Sticky. Mum Tracey bought their coats ready made and says they are toasty! They sure look warm to me on this overcast midwinter's day. Thanks for sharing Tracey. 😍

I've been trying to make the bed all morning but Frank has made himself a nest of blankets and my dressing gown and just won't move. It's a bleak winters day here but my little old man is snug as a bug!

30/06/2023

Introducing the beautiful Starla in her new custom made coat! Those colours are perfect for a black hound with a sprinkling of grey in her coat. Thanks to mum Jacqui for sharing her stunning lady grey with us! 😍

26/06/2023

Aaaawww...this is Archie! He's a staghound X, so technically a lurcher and he's wearing his new coat in a large lurcher size. I love his little whiskers and that silvery staghound coat...he's a real silver fox! Thanks so much for the pic Bettina, and the lovely texts.

18/06/2023

This handsome chap is Sullivan (Sully to his closest). He looks so sharp and ready for a big week ahead. I wish I felt like he looks...still recovering from a bout of tonsillitis and feeling pretty shabby...
Thanks to Danielle for the pic!

Today's fab photo is of Rufus and Sass relaxing in their new coats. Their mum, Cath, sent me this along with a lovely review which she couldn't post on Etsy because she wasn't logged into her account when she made the purchase and...well...etsy has Rules!! 🤪I'll post it here instead, thanks Cath!!
Rufus & Sass enjoying their RecycledHound coats. What's not to love? One off pieces, made in Australia, from recycled, upcycled and thrifted materials; cozy as; and so easy to put on and take off. Something our almost 13-year-old boy definitely appreciates.

Introducing the stunning Nora! I made her a custom coat and it arrived in a jiffy. So happy to see a happy greyhound!! Thanks to Georgia for sharing the pic. :)

Misty mornings are made for mooching...

01/06/2023

Oh looky, it's Dio in his new coat! His mum says he's the best dressed dog at the park and I'd have to agree! Thanks for sharing the pic Francesca. Best, Jen :)

28/05/2023

Ooooh it's icy in the mornings, but nothing warms me more than a pic of a golden retriever in their new coat! This handsome fella is Sawyer and I think he looks dashing and snug all at once! Thanks to Brittany for sharing the pic.

26/05/2023

This one is guaranteed to warm the cockles. It's Frank in his new coat, layered over his jarmies for extra sartorial splendour! He looks like I'd like my Fri night to look. Thanks for the pic Madelaene!

***Sold***
Sometimes I find a small...no make that tiny, piece of vintage wool that I just have to buy and make up into a coat. These coats are complete one-offs and can never be copied or remade in another size. I just listed this small whippet coat in the most delicious winter colours and soft Scottish lambs wool!

We had another frost last night and most nights are below 8 degrees now here in the Hunter Valley. That's a bit earlier than past seasons and the hounds are in their warmest coats already. I've had so many lovely return customers this season and there must be some very lucky, well dressed hounds out there! Bindi, Milo and Frank have quite a wardrobe between them too. They're pretty rough on theirs and at the end of every season I check all the coats for holes and replace worn velcro and straps if needed. I've had a few customers ask about repairs and YES, I do offer a repair service. I know velcro doesn't last forever (it's one of the reasons I've moved towards the D ring straps) and it does need a bit of maintenance each week to keep the hooks from filling up with fur. I can do a complete overhaul of your coat which includes patching, strap replacement, velcro replacement and a general defuzzing for $20pp. That really only covers the cost of the materials but believe me, it will extend the life of your coat and Dog knows, it's a cheaper option if you can't quite stretch to a new coat each season!

These sweet peas are Miss Moffle, the iggy and Miss Samie, the greyhound in their new coats. They are so adorable and absolutely made my week! Thanks for the pics, Fleur!

Bright colours banish the winter blues!

Today's nugget of cuteness is Dudley! Dudley had his coat custom made to his measurements and now he's off to bed! Thanks for the pic Lulu and Murray :)

26/04/2023

Some mid week cuteness for you. These happy chaps are Jem (blue coat) and Arthur (green coat). They have quite a collection of coats between them now and always look amazing, no matter what colour Mum chooses. They brighten any grey winter day! Thanks Wendy!

23/04/2023

I've been so busy making coats, I've missed sharing some of my customers pics. This sweetheart is Pippin. He looks so smart in his new coat. His mum, Pauline, bought his coat ready made and it looks like it fits perfectly! All sizes are well stocked with winter coats with new Autumn coats being listed this week...have a squiz!
