I cried my eyes out lol I have my daughters American bull terrier and she lived in Washington State she passed away from an overdose 9/20/19 when you voiced over and said yellow you sounded just like her I loved your video her baby has been getting itchy spots he lives with me in Florida now thanks so much 🤓 I’m going to use some of her t shirts she was tiny like you
Thanks for taking her dog! ❤️
I'm sorry about your daughter also.
my uncle did the same, he was my nanas youngest boy.
A misadventure the Dr called it not an overdose.
he was just having fun ,, on a massive level. ♥️♥️♥️
I hope you are doing well ❤️🙏❤️
I would take the string out of the hood, cut a small hole at the bottom, and put it through the waist band so you can tie it up where it's a bit saggy. But overall good hack.
Great idea! Thnx so much! That helps so much with the hang down. I have a Dogo Argentino and American Bulldog mix so she's a big girl but the waist part is always too big. I am definitely going to try your recommendation. 😊
That was my first question about hanging at the end. This comment needs to be pinned
Remembering this. My buddy is slimmer, and things, and I have some sweatshirts that are being recycled to help keep him warm. He is lab, Corso. But I have discovered there is not a good range of clothes and stuff for big babies. Hermes freezes. Soooo beautiful babies and maybe a sweatshirt for him, will help when he goes potty, he is allergic to grass...
Thicc girl is super cute! 🧡
She is, yes, sooo cute! You're such a good mom, & so good with diy for your"Precious!" Thanks for your demonstration of the finished alterations; your 'how-to" is simple & to-the-point...thank you!
I absolutely love this video! Thank you! I've decided to make matching Christmas sweaters for my BIG GIRLS and I can't wait to use this style! Like you said its always FOR TINY PUPS!
She is so L-OOOOO-VLY!!! And the coat works perfect. Just her colour.
For the waist being to long and loose, you can fold up the bottom and sew along the existing seam then cut the excess off then fold it down. You can then cut a small slit in the bottom and put an elastic through.
Exactly what happened to me !! The chests are always too small. Thank you. Love the beginning baby laugh
To keep the waist from hanging I cut the top of mine and made a key hole knot at the top to keep it from dragging
Side note: I also had to cut the sleeves all the way off because her paw would get caught in it
Loved it! Gonna make one for my Boxer, Lucie. 💗 Thanks!
I have been looking for this video for months.Thanks SO MUCH for sharing. What would I do without this video thx again
💖💖💖💖🦮🦮🦮🦮👌👌👌👌😊😊😊😊
I'm literally running to good will to buy hoodies now. This is a great video. The applause made me laugh
Nice. I'm going to try making one for my CHUNKY british bulldog x labrador.
the dog was so cute tho
My boy has blue in his coat and gets itchy too, its a gene mutation in blue coats. Feeding him sardines, at vet advice, helps a lot. I give him a tin of sardines in water every day.
Love your girl. The crickets when you 1st called her was funny! Great video. .
She’s adorable 🥰
She is so cute!
Thanks for your demo! I feel like I can do this now!
Sadistic behaviors..I love it
Yelloooow 😂.... as a color blind person I felt that.
Sooooo cute 🥰 😍 Thanc you for the idea!
I am literally dealing with the exact same thing right now lol I just received an XXL hoodie for my medium dog and it's soooo tiny. This is the second try ordering her clothes so I'ma try this instead! Thank you so much 💖
Edit: omg my dog has itchy skin and on meds too that's why I'm trying to get her something to wear 😊
What I have noticed is a lot of companies that make things for dogs they don't take into account the sheer side of most bullbreeds. I tend to buy from places that only deal with our types of dog's
Excellent!!
She is adorable 🥰
Gonna make one for my bloodhound/boxer boy, your girl is so cute! I love how happy she is to get dressed too♥️
I hope he loves his new sweater! Thank you 🙌
@@themccorkells4398 he does, very cozy!!
She is really pretty!!! I have 2 Red Nosed. LOVE THEM!
Such a beautiful dog!!
I have an apbt pup 4 months old. And she’s growing so fast I want to make her clothes too. Thanks for the video.
Oh My Gosh I have one that looks just like sky and can never find sweaters big enough
Thank you
Thank you so much.
super easy ! great video.
Gosh… my fav so far!! I have a Dane and the sweaters are started and made for tiny chihuahuas
Your baby is very pretty thank you for this video I have two male American pitbull’s Zeus and Apollo and I’ve had the same issue with buying online and getting a small dog coat this way is a lot cheaper thank you God bless!
Another DIY hack for dogs is stop wasting money on expensive dog beds and use old pillow and cushion batting and an old sofa seat cover to make a bed or anything of the sort. Thrift shop come in real handy.
For those extra large dogs a good old fashion baby bed mattress works too and they only cost about 40 dollars and are made so you can clean them easily.
@@tammybeavers7114 exactly what I use my baby loves it
This is such a good idea!!! I have a super ThiccBoi that is have bull mastiff and half Pit, and buying even XXL sweaters that can accommodate his armpits has been a nightmare! We are definitely gonna try this!!!
Also, your baby is adorable!! 😍
Love it!
Whaaaaa I just made dog sweater order at amazon and this is wht I found lol I had to cancel my order asap after watching your video! Here I am holding scissors ready to make toy/clothing for mine!! Thanks
Haha that’s great timing eh?!
When I do my pitties sweaters I take the strings from the hood, make slits in the hem and tie it up around her waist so it doesn't hang.
Love your babies!!!!! ❤️
I have a 10 year old pitbull who's had year-round severe allergies all his life. A few years ago I started him on citopoint...a shot every 3 months...and the itching is gone. It isn't a steroid just suppresses the urge to itch and I can't believe I didn't know about it sooner. Give it a go! Its a bit pricey...about $620 a year ($155-ish every 3 months) but my boy's quality of life is MUCH much better.
Thank you for your recommendation! Sadly our Blue Skye has passed away. This video will remain online to help other dog owners and your comment may help as well! Thank you 🙏
@@themccorkells4398 I'm so very sorry for your loss, she was such a beautiful girl so happy and sweet! Thank you for keeping this video here, I just found it looking for a homemade hack for our Pitahoula. She chewed up her first sweater, and I have a Christmas sweater coming in the mail soon but wanted a fast, easy and cheap way to DIY a doggie sweater since I don't want to pay the ridiculous prices for doggo sweaters.... so thank you SO very much! I was looking for other videos about your homestead, since it looks like you started the channel about 3-4 years ago and we are currently looking for a minimum of 40 acres to start homesteading in the next few months. Is it just the one video on your channel ? Thank you.
Hey, I used your idea for my sister's little Pug. I had to cut it down more and sew up some seams but it turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself. Thanks!
Thank you I loved this video. I bought my 126lb Lab a nice winter coat but I would have liked to come down farther on he sides. I thought I would see if there something like this on TH-cam and sure enough, I found you.
Awesome 👍👍👍
Thank you
great!!! ^_^ Thanks !!
So she so cute and I love pit bulls 🥰
Fabulous!
she's so pretty!🤩
Thank you so much for this video.!!!it helped me so much. I also have an american pitbull and he is absolutely freezing, although he also gets itchy especially under his arms. but I just wanted to say thanks, Have an awesome day :)
thank you ..... i was going to sew a old work shirt to fit my girl... she is a blue merle .... great dane...thank you for mentioning great dane as well..
I lost it at the "YEEEELOW" LOL
Your video is super I have the same problem. I'm going to buy some too
LOL, I have the same dog as you with 43 allergies! I work 2 jobs to keep him going! thank you for sharing I gotta do that for him I can't afford the sweaters and shirts they sell on amazon and Petco and they are always too small for him.
THANK YOU!!!! I own a baby boy who’s a lot like your girl & I can NEVER find him cute outfits 🤦🏻♀️
Bully breed issues! Need a bully line... the struggle is real!
Why not save the sleeve material for dog boots to match.Just a thought.
Ez and cheaper. Orderd a xl foe my dog and it was for. Med dog will do this for sure
What a beautiful dog. My problem is that the bit around the belly of the dog dangles so much his back legs get caught up in it. I was hoping you would show how to remedy this I have a Staffordshire bull terrier. I was hoping this video would show me how to make one but it didn't. But it was helpful and I thank you. 🐶🥰🙏
Love this thank you. FYI if you dog is itchy it may have to do with diet. Try adding Nupro and sprinkle in the dogs. I rescue and it has worked for me.
I have 3 Pitbulls. Well, actually they are pitbull cross girls. Luna and Lyla are 5.5 yo German shepherd/Pitbull cross and littermates. Luna is actually my son's service dog. He is 29 and lives at home due to his disability. Lyla as I stated earlier is her sister and we were asked to foster her when her adoption fell through due to severe abuse. She almost died and was pulled from that placement at about 5 months. The rescue that we got them from was over capacity at the time e and couldn't offer her the level of care she needed. My daughters and I had been volunteering with them since adopting Luna ( one was dating the grandson of the owner) so we were in one contact with then on a regular basis. Lyla's been left with some effects from her abuse. She doesn't trust easily and is maybe a little more protective. But then she also has naturally become MY service dog helping me with my growing physical needs. (I have RRMS) She also has bad hips. About a year ago the rescue got another dog in that just had to become part of our family. Zena was abandoned at the border by her owner. Shortly after they received a court order transfering her ownership to them a tree fell on the area of their facility where she was being housed. Thankfully she was uninjured but it was pretty scary for her. She then went to live at the rescue but they didn't have room for her. ( common... rescues work so hard to find good loving homes for these wonderful dogs but there are more dogs than people to adopt them. So they are often struggling to manage. They had a couple dogs that had some pretty severe medical issues so had to rearrange dogs. Plus we were having a huge heat wave so the dogs could only be outside long enough to relieve themselves. They would go out and hose down the ground so they didn't burn their paws then quick take them out. The only place they could put her was in their "aggressive" room. This is the room that the dogs that need to be really worked with before they are ready for adoption are kept in. They had a dog that kept breaking out of his crate and attacking Zena through her crate. Obviously she couldn't stay. (The rescue has since relocated to a new larger property and has a much better set up) All 3 dogs are super sweet. Luna is a silver and black brindle and has more of the body shape of the GSD and Lyla is a gold and brown brindle with the body shape of the Pitbull. And Zena is brown with white patches ( or maybe it's the other way around lol. Your blue is beautiful! We have fought allergies at our house too. About a month ago my son bought different dig food and Zena was allergic to it. Her mouth blistered and her whole body was really itch. With my daughter's dog too. ( she no longer lives at home and her dog is with her. )She uses prescription medication and it gets really expensive but they are so worth it. This is the place where I feel I must make my PSA. I do NOT mean to sound preachy or anything but here it is. PLEASE if you want a dog (or any animal) Do your research about what breeds would work well with your lifestyle. Think about if you have the time, money, room, yard, energy ( hey puppies take more than you think and as with babies we forget how hard it is). Next remember that this is a LIVING animal. This needs to be a LIFETIME commitment. It is the same as if you were adopting a child. You hope and pray that all will go well but they may come with health or behavioral issues and as with a child you need to deal with them and not just ignore hoping they will go away or rehome. You need to be aware of how big they will get if it's a puppy. And if they get bigger accept that too. The example I always give is the woman who was "rehoming" her 6mo mastive puppy. When asked why she said because she didn't know how big he was going to get and really just wanted something small. .... Ummm it's kinda implied in the name for this one Mastive is massive and that means really big. They have feelings too and their feelings can be irreparably damaged by the way they are treated. ( I could go on and on telling stories of PUPPIES that never got over things I already told you a little about mine) Also unless you HAVE to have a pure bred dog/cat etc check out rescues etc they are bursting with animals who would love to love you.
She is GOULgeous
So cute. How do you keep her paws from getting caught in the waist?
Most cocker spaniel have allergies we give her dog lamb and rice to eat that stops the allergies. You might want to try that.
If you haven't already, ask your vet about CAD (Cytopoint) injections for her allergies. might be expensive for her size but if it stops the itch then it's worth it. it should last about 1 month but with some dogs it lasts a lot longer. you can also give her Benadryl (about 1mg per Lbs.)
I keep floss in the truck to measure my boy to mesure the clothes in the store lol
💛
She is beautiful
👍❤️
YELLOW!....
Our family dog looks a lot like your baby. And about the same size. Do you mind me asking what size you used to make the doggy hoodie?
Hey I mentioned the size I use in the video!! Thanks for watching!
I have a pit/golden doodle mix ... 6 months old and already 50 pounds. 😅
what size sweatshirt did you buy? and is it tight around the arms? your dog is the exact same size as mine. and when they go pee does it hit the sweatshirt or is it short enough not to get wet?
It’s depends on the sweater for size, normally a medium to large for my girl. I find hoodies normally have loose arms so it’s not tight around her arms. Because she is female she does not pee on the sweatshirt but for males you could cut into the belly a bit as a previous comment mentioned. I hope this helps 😊🙌
How many times I’ve gone through the car sweater for my 85 lb doodle 😂
Good
When the video says yellow i thought my phone had a demon in it
YELLOW
First off, THANK YOU. I’ve been scouring the internet for hours and hours trying to find anything for my baby girl. She’s my gorgeous hippo/land seal/manatee/blue nose pit. She’s my daughter and it hurts my heart that I cannot provide her with clothing which she LOVES. It’s not because I love her in clothes, she literally asks me to put clothes on her. How am I supposed to find clothing, when everything is for small dogs, overly expensive (I don’t even spend that much on my clothing) and basically impossible to find. So I thought, I’m a sewer, why don’t I just sew her clothing. I have no clue where to start. No patterns for a dog her size, patterns can be very expensive, and I’ve never sewn clothing for a dog before so I don’t know what to do even. That’s been my struggle. I’m at a point where I’ll bite the bullet, order something super cheap that fits her, cut it up and use it as a pattern. Then my sister in law actually recommended your channel and you’ve helped me get started on the process. So thank you!!! Also, my girls armpits, inguinal area and ears are ALWAYS itchy. It’s a pitbull thing. Poor babies, some days she’s just a walking scab. Horrible. Not even allergy meds touch it. Tried cytopoint and everything else. I’ve always thought if she wore more clothing, that could at least stop her from scratching and licking. Even pjs at night would help a lot. So, Lea and I thank you! And what a beautiful baby girl you have❤️
(Sorry this was so long)
I’m so happy that you found this video helpful! I can totally relate to the issue of finding large dogs clothes! I hope that Lea enjoys her new dog sweaters that Mom made especially for her ❤️
The McCorkells you’re so incredibly sweet❤️
Awesome! Fyi a male will pee on the waist if not snug against the belly.
I have the same size dog but my dog is a boy. So how would I make him a sweater so he doesn't pee on it . The sweater you made would be to long. Any advice???
Katie Bell had a great suggestion for male dogs in the comments below! Check her comment out!! 😄
Hi I don’t know if you’d see this but I have a bully and she was born with allergies do you have any recommendations or natural remedies that helped your dogs please let me know she’s only 11 months and is itching bad she’s on medication currently thank you!
I highly recommended seeking help from a Vet Dermatologist or your local vet 😊 I hope she gets well soon 😊
If you have a male dog you need to cut and sew a bit so they dont pee on the inside of it.
Lol puppy
Tried this.. but my dog kept getting her legs caught in the hoodie from how big it was around
She is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
what about if dog has to pi ?? hell get it wet ! it’s very cute but i want it to be cut midriff so he doesn’t pi on it ! but thank you
Whatttttt did you just chop the sleeves off and call it a dog sweater
F*ckin rights I did! 🙈😂
*y e l l o www 😑*
🤣🤣🤣
She does not look like a Pit Bull to me. I think could be a Staffordshire Terrier and Mastiff Mix. She's too large and bulky for a Pit Bull.
She is a purebred American Pitbull Terrier 😊
@@themccorkells4398 that's the biggest Pit Bull I've ever seen.
@@themccorkells4398 yes, I agree.
I have a pit that looks just like your beautiful girl. Except mine is a male. His name is Tiller. I’ll send a pic.
Your girl is beautiful
If your dogs armpits are super itchy she probably has a yeast infection.
Too much talking
Look at that dog. So poor. Manipulate by a human to wear extra large sweater
She is beautiful
