I have been a dog lover my whole life, and can't remember a time growing up that I didn't have my Basenji girl at my side. Life just doesn't feel right without the company of a dog.

I started making Greyhound Martingale collars in 2002 as a way to provide exquisite collars for our greyhounds Casey and Isabelle, as well as for fundraising for greyhound adoption groups and to provide some part time income for my family. The business quickly blossomed into more than a full time job as we added satin lined buckle collars, velvet leashes and most recently our exclusively designed ULTIMATE LEASH to the line up and began catering to the all-breed dog collar market. Although we will never mass produce our custom dog collars or leashes, with the help of an incredible staff we began taking on a limited amount of wholesale business and we now sell to some of the finest pet boutiques globally and provide greyhound adoption groups with fundraising opportunities.

My goal is to be constantly updating and bringing you the freshest new designs and trends with my fashion influenced style of dog collar designing. I strive to lead not follow the crowd so I diligently source materials from all over the world, to bring you an exquisite array of fabulous French Jacquard trims, Chinese Silk brocade, Indian Sari, rare Vintage Trims, as well funky novelty trims and preppy stripes and dot collars.

Being a certified Interior Designer and dog fanatic, creating beautiful, stylish, functional Martingale collars, Buckle collars and leashes has fulfilled my passion for design and my overwhelming desire to help the hounds in need. Allowing me to generously contribute to dog rescue and adoption groups all over the world.
