Rehomed greyhound

[impulse]

I have recently re-homed a greyhound that was too slow on the race track. She is only 2yrs old and was otherwise destined to be euthanized.

She has the sweetest temperament and lots to learn - didn't even know her name!

I have made a martingale collar and matching dog coat.

Love stories of re-homed greyhounds, would love to get one myself, but cant at the moment. Coat and Collar look amazing, would love to see more pics of how you done the collar and how you lined it.

Nice job.  Now let's see your new "master" wearing it!

OK - pic of "Karly" wearing her designer coat

Here is more detail of the greyhound collar. Because their heads are no wider than their necks the design is such that when the lead is clipped on the collar tightens around the neck. It is lined with sheepskin.

The color was an interesting experiment - to get purple I mixed pink and blue food coloring. To my surprise, the leather not only absorbed it well, but when dry did not rub off at all and was not affected by water. Leaves the door open for a much wider range of colors without using acrylic paint!

Thanks for your comments, AussieMade and northmount

She is a beauty.  Love dogs and the coat and collar look good too!
