I agree. The question of dogskin gloves was mentioned in : Animal remains and the tanning trade, in Diet and Crafts in Towns: The evidence of animal remains from the Roman to the Post-Medieval periods, (1989). eds. D. Serjeantson & T. Waldron Oxford: BAR British Series, 129-46.
Best to all,

Subject: [ZOOARCH] Dog skin - gloves?
Has anyone considered the possibility that if the dogs had been skinned the skins were being used for gloves? I seem to remember that inventories of glovers in the 17th C have included dog skins.
