preprunner-

I have no idea how dog fur would serve as a down relpacement. I HAVE heard of people spinning their pet's fur along with some wool and using that product to knit sweaters and such. I got the impression that they were more interested in harvesting an otherwise wasted resoure or keeping a momento of their pets for sentimentality. If you try this, let us know how it works for you.
