Hey Amazonians!
My name's Kibbles and I'm a golden retreiver! My mommy likes to give me treats and pet me, but she also loves to brush me more than anything else! Mommy tries to bring me everywhere with her, but sometimes I am not allowed in stores or restaurants! Mommy felt very sad without me! She was very happy when she read this book! Now she can make sweaters out of my hair, so when she's wearing them it's like I am with her! Mommy loves me!

 misleading cover July 19, 2009

My only complaint is the cover is misleading, there is a picture of a basset hound on the cover but you can't spin basset fur. I own a basset and bought the book because of the cover.
Wonderful November 19, 2008

I felt bad at first shaving my dog completely bald, but after I got the sweater made using this book, he now looks stylish in his own fur!
fantastic! October 28, 2008

The book is as new as advertised! Full of great info. just what I was looking for. I have already started collecting my dog wool, can't wait to get using it!
Thanks for a wonderful book and service, great way to recycle!
Is it REALLY a good idea? October 10, 2008

As fun and quirky as this is, perhaps a dog hair sweater isn't that great an idea. Imagine what you'll smell like if you get caught in the rain. You're lible to be tossed off public transportation because of the smell of wet dog.
Maybe you could just knit a dog bed or a dog sweater instead? Seems like a more logical use of the hair.
