Kaia's breeder collected borzoi hair and sent it off to one of those people who spins and weaves it. It's a gorgeous scarf and it feels like cashmere.
She took it to work and one of her coworkers was totally entranced. She kept draping it over herself, and gushing over how soft and beautiful it was. She finally asked what it was made of/where she got it. So she told the lady, "oh! I had some hair from my dogs made into a scarf."
Lady recoiled in horror and refused to touch it after that. She kept saying how gross it was, because dogs are so dirty.
Ummm... apparently she's never seen a sheep or goat in person. Frankly, I'd feel much better about wearing something made from the hair of a dog that got groomed regularly and brushed all the time vs. an animal who thinks peeing on itself is sexy, and has to have dried turds washed out of its sheared fleece.
