What's New

Our E-Booth, Engraving for you!

November 1, 2010

For those who've been ordering dog related items on my site - thanks and welcome to the new look. With the help of several experts I'm making it easier to see what I have to offer and to order. I hope to have more of the folks I've dealt with over the past 30 years find my e-booth. One negative of not being on the road as much is not seeing long time customers and meeting new ones. So if you like what you see tell a friend if not tell me.

Current News

A First.

Wheeling my display booth and equipment into a show sometime during the last six months I was confronted with my own mortality. I was negotiating the doorway, alternating with dog people moving their dogs and equipment int the building. The sill strip wa proving to be an obstacle. As I was straining to move the rollout across it, a helpful fellow senior citizen called out "help the old man through the door". It was the first time I'd been referred to that way.

Crate Signs

Crate signs serve multiple purposes: Identifying the dog for kennel help; associating the owner amd/or handler with the dog, advertising the kennel name, providing ownership and contact information, acknowledging blood lines, and of course acknowledging accomplishments (bragging).

Judge's Pins

The judge's pins are solid brass. As the information is engraved into the brass, it won't wear off. I offer 3 types of attachment -pin, clutch (think tie tack) and at an additional charge, magnet. The magnet backs have become more popular as the strength of the magnets has improved. It also seems that the small size is more popular than in the past. Anecdotally, some clubs have ordered pins as judge's gifts. The list provided to me often includes a title - Mr., Mrs., Ms., Dr etc. However my experience has been that 90% ot the time a pin is ordered by an individual, no such title is requested.

Pet Tags - ID tags for dogs and cats

For Pet Tags, I've been answering the question "what information should I have on my dog's ID" for30 years. My thought is if I encounter a dog that appears lost, I need a phone number to contact its owner. If I want to keep the dog, knowing its name is helpful. More recently the idea of two phone numbers - home and cell - seems to make sense. Ring or "S" hook for attachment? If the "S" hook is closed well with pliers, it is the strongest. The ring can be separated with a small screwdriver or metal nail file for attaching and being continous it is very secure. One caution: when attaching a lead to a collar be sure to connect to the heavy ring and not the ID tag ring.
