Awesome snow boots! I'll have to make them and try it out! All I need to get is the fleece material. I have two wonderful sewing machines that I use for quilting. Do they stay on? I did order mushers secret, but I would like to try the boots also.
The boots stay on pretty good, we have lost a couple in deep snow or she steps on one with her other paw and pulls it off, so my advice is to make a couple extra.
The bright colored fleece is a big help if you do lose one. The sample set I made first was grey, :doh: blended right in with muck and never did find it.
I down sized the pattern also for my girlfriend's Shitzu to go out for potty in, and also my bosses Beagle puppy last year (he said the puppy would literally scream when she was out for potty at 20 below:no

.
They sew pretty quick, just fleece, elastic and velcro.
The do wear out, Sierra has put a toenail thru on a couple, I just shorten them at the toe and we are good to go again.
What I like, is they go on pretty easy, it's not a fight.
I've looked at Muttluks but for the price, I have to have a idiot strap to make sure we didn't lose one. My girlfriend with the Shitzu has a pair, but her husband says it's a real fight to get them on, and likes the boots I made better for that reason.
I have thought about making the boots and then dipping or painting on some of the tool grip stuff on the bottom, we'll see...

Sorry to ramble...
