R&T are short haired, mutts, although "All American" sounds a bit nicer. They're mom is an Australian Cattle Dog (baby momma) and we assume their dad was some kind of Terrier mix, maybe even a Pit Bull. Regardless of their origin - we love them dearly and decided to adopt them from a rescue in February 2007.
Getting back to my inspiration, because they're mutts, it's hard to find coats that fit their unusually thick necks, wide rib cages, but overall lanky bodies (no one is perfect right?). My quest is to create a custom dog coat that will fit our dogs and stay on as they run around the yard like banshees.
Check out the progress!
Cutting out my pattern - using quality material
