Our Story
Snoods4Dudes - Handmade. Heartfelt. Hound-approved
Our Story​
​
It all started with a snood.​
​
One chilly Northumberland winter, I knitted a cosy neck warmer for my two rescue sighthounds, Barney and Harvey – a pair of elegant, sighthounds who love a bracing coastal walk but aren’t exactly built for the British weather. They needed something warm, practical… and let’s be honest, something with a bit of flair.
​
Soon, compliments came rolling in – then came the commissions. One snood became many, and Snoods4Dudes was born: a celebration of canine style, comfort, and individuality.
​
Our little team grew when Pumpkin joined the pack – rescued on Halloween (of course), and now the smallest but sassiest of our trio of in-house models. Together, Barney, Harvey and Pumpkin proudly showcase our range of handcrafted snoods and unique martingale collars.​​
Our Values​
​
Fed up with the dull, mass-produced dog gear on offer, we set out to create something better: accessories that actually felt special. Our pieces are designed to be functional, yes – but also full of
personality. Just like our models.
​
Every snood is hand-knitted using soft, durable yarns that keep your hound warm and comfortable.
Our collars are stitched on an industrial machine for strength and safety, then finished with quality hardware - and our original designs are guaranteed to turn heads (and get tails wagging).​
​
Keep an eye out for our limited-edition collections – and if you’ve got something particular in mind, just ask. We’re always happy to create something extra special.
​
So whether your dog’s a mud-loving adventurer or a blanket-burrowing homebody, we’ve got the neckwear to suit their style.
Join the pack. Explore the collection. Show off your hound’s true colours.​
Giving Back​
​
A percentage of every purchase goes to Northumberland Dog Rescue, the dedicated charity that brought Barney, Harvey and Pumpkin into our lives. Supporting them is our way of saying thank you – and helping more rescue dogs find their forever homes.
​
You’ll also find a selection of our snoods and collars at locally grown, Running Fox Cafés, dotted around Northumberland, and we regularly support artisan fairs throughout the year.
​​
Thanks for supporting small. Thanks for choosing handmade. And most of all - thanks for celebrating your dog's unique style with us.​​
