Once you see the difference between harvesting dog hair and any more conventional wool type, you will understand why Kendall Crolius said: “Better a sweater from a dog you know and love than a sheep you’ll never meet!” Dog hair is NOT weird. My friend Ann (that’s her real name)…
Spring for dog owners isn’t just about turning the clock forward; it’s about a lot of brushing. This is a great time, if not the best time to start saving dog hair! For double-coated dogs, even the brief warm-up episodes in March that trigger the irises and daffodils to sprout…
dog hair flowers as a way to wear your dog all year Small dogs don’t shed enough to make anything…or do they? Fuzzy, my beloved first Pekingese, had a glorious coat when he was young. Stunning in color, texture, and length. He also had a glorious temper, stunning in fierceness…
We all know a healthy coat when we see one; it’s shiny, full, and begging somehow to be touched. We have a special appreciation for healthy coats in our business, because a healthy coat makes a great fiber. Great fiber spins well and knits well. There is just nothing like…

The Coast Salish wool dog has been extinct for a little over a century.Excellent article. Thanks for sharing it.
With the deepest sorrow, I mourn the passing of my Shadow, the last surviving member of the Shed Squad. Since Clarence’s passing in February, he had been beset with his own grief, this in addition to numerous ailments, all of them untreatable. He left this life today after a glorious repast of all his favorite treats and a final visit with all his friends at Rex’s Place, where he found relief from his solitude every morning over the last couple of weeks. He was surrounded by the humans who loved him beyond measure and his Sally, our cat who punished him with her affections for his 6 1/2 years here. He was 14 and lived a greater life than most souls ever do. He will be deeply, sorely missed.
So sorry, Jeannie. I know he had a wonderful life with you and the others in the family. I am sure he left a huge hole in your heart. My sympathies, friend.
Sending you healing thoughts. He lived an amazing life with you, as do all creatures fortunate enough to have you as their human. Being a rescue, he appreciated every day!!!
Oh, my friend, you have loved one another well, you and your flock of furry defenders. They are rising as kites of the soul to tether you between this world and the next. To love and grow, to lose and love again, may healing come to your mourning heart.
So sorry for your loss Sending light and love

I am so sorry to hear that. We are going to miss him.
I’m so sad. What a good boy he was. Sending you lots of hugs.
My sincere condolences
We are so grateful he got to come in today. We didnt realize we were sending him off but nothing would have changed if we had. He inspired us and he was (is) loved.
My heart cries for your loss!! It is so hard to lose our earth angels and there truly are no words to console you...only hopes that you will see them again someday😥😥😥😥
I am so very sorry for your loss.

That’s a Collie, so sweet 😊💕
Just so the pup doesn’t fart. I have a Saint Bernard and that poor bird will blow away and suffocate from the fumes. 🤣
What a generous pup.
Whatever it takes
Oh that’s awesome.
