This book looked so cute that I bought it and read it in spite of the fact that I don't knit and I don't have a dog. It is inspirational.

This book gives very basic information about collecting dog fur, cleaning and spinning it and then knitting it into hats and such. There is a good section listing dog breeds with comments about each one and why it is better to have an afghan hound than a westie.

A total beginner at either spinning or knitting would probably want to get some basic instruction before trying to accomplish any of the projects in the book. There is a list in the back of the book of spinners (probably outdated since 1994) who will make your dog hair into yarn for you. There are apparently still people out there doing it like Spinning Straw into Gold… (more)
