cycas Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Have they been in touch with K9 knitters? I think they had a surplus they wanted to get rid of? Just a thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasmine Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 MIL has just knitted five coats that we will be collecting tomorrow. They'll only be small so not fit Staffies but I'll post them asap if any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zico's mum Posted November 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Jasmine thanks so much,they also get a lot of JRT type Terriers in so the coats will be fab for them. Will try K9 knitters as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendlewitch Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 I have a couple you can have, they are fairly big though. They are the sort that go betwen the front legs and fasten over the back. I think they are 24" and 26", any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
