Where to buy a NICE whippet coat?

[ladybones]

As the title really! I cant for the life of me find a nice quality coat for Badger

he is getting terribly chilly and is finding it rather upsetting having to wear a JR's jacket!

''it's a little short mummy''

Thanks in advance xx

Florimell (not whippet, but same shape - IG) has a beautiful Eskadron coat, it's not made specifically for greyhounds but still seems to fit her really well.

What about here?

We got our whippet a lovely waterproof, warm coat from Dogs and co. Is designed for whippets so is cut nicely and keeps him toasty warm. Has leg straps like a new zealand rug so it doesn't blow up in the wind!

I've always had Blizzard coats for mine - they are lovely and snuggly

You can get them online at www.grwe.com, very good delivery and service

Gratuitous pic as usual:

These are greyhounds, but they do special whippet ones too

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Oh my, I've just fallen madly in love with a dog on that website Splotchy

 

[haycroft]

There are lots of sites on the net to buy whippets coats...just google whippet coats and you'l find them
i got my first coat from weathertogs and i still got it and fits great
venture coats are fab aswell..they do a witney wool coat which is nice and cosy
lots on ebay

Which one FB? I have stopped looking most of the time, I really cannot have a third one just yet....

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Spider (tenth down or so) Just look at his eyes!!

I'm in love

 

[FestiveSpirit]

have a look on http://thehoundlounge.proboards.com/inde...213&page=31

they talk all about how gorgeous Spider is

He was castrated today so will be available for re-homing soon, get in there quick

 

[kirstyhen]

Oh my goodness, I want Luey, Paddy, Billy and Ralphy!!!

 

[FestiveSpirit]

They have a lot of black ones in at the moment dont they - apparently they are notoriously bad to rehome, no idea why

Go on everyone, adopt a greyhound today

 

[kirstyhen]

Otto needs no help in pretending to be a sighthound!!

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Uhm, that's strange - I thought I had replied?

Anyway, I can't access that forum as it says registered users only... is Spider really that popular?

I'd LOVE to adopt one, but have a feeling no rescue will ever even consider a home overseas...

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Oh sorry FB, I didnt realise that about the forum link - there is a thread on there called 'Down at the Kennels' where they chat about the dogs they currently have in waiting for homes, and Spider has won everyone's hearts I think

Volunteers go along to walk them and apparently he is very well behaved on the lead, and everyone loves his little face

The answer is, of course, for you to move to England (or perhaps back to England? Sorry, I am not sure if you are English!

) and then you could adopt HUNDREDS of greyhounds

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Oops, we've totally hijacked the thread.....wait, let me post some pictures of Florimell in her coat (which obviously comes in lots of sizes, so would be perfect for larger dogs too):

 

[Blue-bear]

Ive got an equafleece for my JRT who gets very cold. Its like an all in one so its brilliant. They do lots of differnt styles and also do different widths, ive found them very helpful.

 

[GinaGem]

Bes has the blizzard one too which is really nicely cut:

Doesn't do bad in the rain too:

I don't know if they rehome abroad, but I know for a fact that the Kerry Greyhound Connection rehomes internationally....

I want all of them!

Gorgeous pics everyone

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Thanks for this hanandhen - just had a look, there are some gorgeous gorgeous dogs on there too

 

[Spudlet]

I'm in love with Archie

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

I love Christy (poor Christy...), Sprite and Bob

 

[Spudlet]

I would have all of them to be honest - they are all so lovely

Shame I only live in a titchy house

 

[ladybones]

Oh no! now i want a whippet jacket AND A GREYHOUND!!

 

[BBH]

Equifleece are brilliant and do greyhound coats. They wash and wash and don't stretch. They are the only thing that gets over my bulldogs head n shoulders and they keep him toasty over the winter.

And quite right too, a greyhound would go beautifully with your gorgeous whippet

 

[Nightcap]

Have a look at Friday Fox

They do both Witney wool and waterproof wax cotton coats for whippets

 

[Montmorency]

The equafleece ones are good and we've got Outhwaite coats to waterproof the whips- they fit mine very well.

 

[haycroft]

The best costs are venture coats Unfortually there's no website but sue ward who makes them go to many whippet shows including cruft ,they are deep in the thigh and will last fir years ,they even make Witney style ones ,,pm me if u need their number

Also wearhertogs are great cross surcingle
Collar r us ,,do coats n collars for sight hounds
A lot of per stores don't do whippet style costs ,,they gotta b curve backed
Also if y go on to any if the whippet forum etc slot of ppl make them but not as a business ,some to wraps which go under the chest area if a whippet is thin coated
Good luck
Or the greyhound store !
