I’d made this sweater several times before for greyhounds, but a friend recently moved from southern CA to South Dakota and I thought her dog needed a sweater. Max is a 65 pound Heinz 57 type dog (with strong basset hound leanings), but this sweater is actually a good fit for him as he has a deep chest and narrow waist. I modified it a bit based upon feedback from another sweater wearer (well, his owner) for male dogs by making a slit in the middle of the belly band for the last 4 inches to eliminate that interference.

I made him a snood to go with the sweater, but am not sure that he has the neck length (such as greyhounds do) to use it. I wonder how many treats it took to get him to sit with the snood pulled over his ears?

This took about 7 skeins (85y/78m) for the sweater and another 1.5 for the snood
