Advice wanted

[Mama S.]

PJ is determined to have something for Shadow to wear when she is in the woods with him. I have bought 5 different sweaters. Ones that fit her around her big ole chestical area she walked right out of the arm holes. Coudn't find a coat that was long enough to cover her to the tail - that velcro'd under her chestical area that is warm enough. I got her the doxie delights harness but it doesn't offer any warmth.
HELP ME - He is making me :duh: buying and taking back...

If you have a petco in your area....the greatest, warm, best fitting coat ever, is made by Dicken's closet......I gave Han's to Pippet....I think there is a picture under Xmas in july..... I'll try to find one for you, what size????

Target had (when I was in the US in September) an awesome green sweater with leaves on it. It keeps the boys nice and warm.

Something like this might work too and you can hook a leash to it.

I have only naked dogs... but maybe Land's End? They have lots of warm dog clothing.

It's hard to find the perfect outfit for the doxies... especially the huge chestical area. lol. Didn't you get the fleece from Judi? It's long enough for Gigi and covered pretty well for her. Though I really want something form-fitting for Gigi, it keeps her warmer that way.

So should we scratch the yarn plan????

[Alex's Mom]

this is what Alex wears, Sandi. It's the only thing I could find a) that she'd grudgingly agree to wear, and b) fit her. It's waterproof, and has a fleece lining.
Greenhawk has a couple of other types too.

OOhh that looks like what he wants!!! She is 13" around neck, 19" from neck to tail and her chestical area at it's biggest is 23" . She is what he lovingly refers to as his big boned girl!! Vet says her weight is perfect - she is just HUGE! Of course the closet Petco is 100 miles from here:sosad: Petsmart has nothing. We;ve looked...

ummmm.. tell him to get his dead ass up and take Shadow to PetCo/PetSmart and have a fashion show until he finds what he wants that fits and leave you the heck alone?

Hi Mama! Petedge has that coat. Mitch has the small. It fits him around his neck and underside but is only a waist length because he will not tolerate anything near his 'manhood'! A medium would fit him fine length wise with room to grow width wise. He is 20 around the chest and 18 long. Go with the medium. Also, check around for free shipping. It is the Holidays after all.

Sidenote to Mama: Julie has a very similar coat....we had to go with a bigger size for her chest (lucky dog :) ) and I wanted it to be as long as possible. I just moved the velcro over so the strap that goes under her belly fits tighter.........point is alterations can be made....

[akiss]

I am not sure if you guys have ever heard of TECKELKLUB.... It means Doxie club in German. They are a little expensive but the quality are amazing and they are made for doxies. The best place I have found with prices is

We have both and it fits Dobby like a charm... he even struts around in it ( I am sure he is saying " Look at me I am Handsome"

.....Ones that fit her around her big ole chestical area she walked right out of the arm holes.......

Sorry Mama I don't have any suggestions but i just laughed out loud reading that oh-so-similar scenario of walking out of the arm holes!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Thanks for brightening my evening!!!!!

Sorry if someone already posted this. This site offers special clothes for doxies! It's called lovelonglongdog.com and it has a grey tab at the top for "special dogs and dachshunds" How cool is that?!
