A DOG GONE RUG SHOW

After finding several dog rugs in a row yesterday thought they would make a great blog post.  Feline lovers don't worry the spotlight will be on them one of these days soon.  If any of you have considered hooking your beloved pet perhaps some of these may inspiration you on color, border design, etc.

I really like this dog with hit and miss borders.  It measures 25 x 33 and auction house said the date at the bottom is 1921, but it is wobbly so it could be a 5 but they had access to the back and would know.

Also like this wonderful shirred dog with a wavy border.  No date was provided but it measures 27 x 35.

Here is the back which demonstrates how the wool or whatever textile was secured with stitches.

Two dogs with no date or dimensions provided.

A mom dog and pups with hit and miss background.  Dimensions are 23 x 43 and hooked late 19th century.  It sold for $2,760 Dec 1969.

Dog and Stars, wool and cotton measures 25 x 61.5.  It was hooked late 19th or early 20th century.   The auction house said there were initials of MS on the upper left corner but darn if I see them.

A Dog and Rabbit  ~ are they friends or waiting to see what the other one does first to see who runs?  Was hooked early 20th century, measures 26 x 46 and sold for $188 in 2020.

A Spotted Dog with tulip border, no date available but dimensions are 24 x 36.

Here's a view of the back; it was punched or hooked with yarn.  Shame it is in such disrepair.

Reclining Dog dated 1902 and measuring 32 x 46.5.

Definitely not an antique but this is a hoot...Two Dogs with a miniature man, measures 19 x 32 .

There are a few more dog rugs but by now you may be tired of dog rugs or realize yours needs to be fed or go for its walk.  Happy hooking.
