PS we are delighted with the Ultimate Leash we got from you - the velvet lining
makes it a joy to use and with an easy walker like Jazz you can just tighten the
leash slightly round your wrist and then have both hands free - really good if you need to carry other things too. The clip round things option also works really well
in restaurants etc where you can fasten the hound to a table leg and get on with
your meal. Brilliant!

Char,
Just wanted to say "Thanks" for the great job you did making Cash's beautiful new Breast Cancer Awareness collar. I try to get him at least one new collar from Around The Hounds every year, but I think that this is by far my favorite! I am a breast cancer survivor and will be cancer free for 7 years on February 28 of this year. As Cash
is usually closer to me than my own shadow, I will onstantly be
reminded of the importance of having HOPE and LOVE in my ife (as if he would ever let me forget... he is the all about the love!!!)
Thanks again for another fantastic collar. Best wishes for the new
year.
Sincerely,
Terri Griffith

Hi Char,
I just wanted to let you know that I received my collar today, the
Geo-Platinum, and it is the most excited I have ever been about a collar. I
absolutely love it and it looks handsome on my black greyhound, Reilly. The
quality is the best and that goes without saying. I have ordered from
several vendors and your product is the best quality.
I've attached a picture of Reilly in his new collar.
Thank you again,

I just ordered another :-) New collar for my Pharaoh Hound Blaise and it arrived today. I ordered Lime Margarita from the Costa Rica collection.
WOW!!! It truly is just another gorgeous collar from Around the Hounds.I am more impressed with every collar I get from you Char. This looks especially good on my Red Dog as green is a red heads color.
Promise to forward pictures :-) Thanks again for doing what you do, nowhere could I ever hope to find a collar to top the ones I get from you.

Hi Char,
I wanted to send you an e-mail to thank you so very much for such a beautiful job on

business, you deserve it!
Thanks again and we look forward to doing business with you again in the future.

Dear Staff at Around the Hounds,
I just wanted to let you know that we received Dash's beautiful LV collar yesterday. We are so incredibly pleased with the outstanding workmanship and
quality of the product and think it suits our recycled racer's personality.
I have not found any product like it on the Australian market and I found the LV colours matched our 2yo brindle boy beautifully. I have attached a photo which hopefully make it to the 2008 Greyhound Adoption Program calendar.
Thanks again, and I am certain we will do business again in the future.
Kind regards
Danielle Stokes and Dash

Char,
We have ordered several of your collars for our retired racing greyhound, Corky.
We thought you should see a photo of your tiki collar on Corky at Cape San Blas,
FL taken May 19, 2007. Corky has recieved lots of compliments on his beautiful
collars everywhere we go, we are a military family so we travel a lot. Enjoy the
pic!

Hi Char,
We purchased four of your collars (one LV) and two leashes at the Greyhounds in Gettysburg event (we chose all brown tones for our brindle and fawn greys-I doubt you recall us since so many people were at GIG!). I just wanted to share with you how pleased we are with your products. Within just a week the collars have been admired by many! We've seen many collars and leashes and yours are not only the most beautiful but also the most perfect-somehow they capture that unique regal quality that greyhounds exude. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the rest of us.
As a designer (mostly web and print), I just wanted to mention this because
I know how much it means to me when people provide feedback. (I also likeyour website.) I've been looking for holiday collars for almost a year now,
and I see that you offer those, so I'm sure you'll see a purchase from us
again soon.
Regards,

Char,
I just wanted to say how much I adore your collars! I have a huge collection of collars for my pit bull, Alki- my only girl, and the only of my dogs with short hair, but was still searching for the "perfect" collar.
I came across your site in a search for unique martingales (since she can back out of regular collars) and was amazed by the gorgeous, unique, and HUGE selection. I ended up getting the Chocolate/Pink Celtic Cross. Im impressed by the
excellent quality and durability, and it looks *perfect* on her! I have never put any other collar on her again because none of them compare. I get compliments on it constantly and refer people to your site all the time. I even decided to get one for my Aussie, Brock, ("Rebel" in red for my wild
man) and I absolutely love it- they work great for all breeds!
Thanks!
-Margaret, Alki & Brock

Hi, Char,
I received my order a few weeks ago, and I just had to tell you how much I *adore* this collar (Renaissance Czar). It is just the most luxurious, regal-looking collar, and Hailey looks stunning in it!!!
She has gotten compliments every time I take her out in it. It's just such a special work of art!!! You can bet I'll be back shopping with you soon!

To Wonderful people at Around the Hounds,
Do you have any Idea how hard it is to find unique and fabulous collars for my Galgo? My Galgo "Lulu" who I adopted from Spain 3yrs ago is the epitome of a lady.
Your collars are not only beautiful but also inspiring. I have had a few Friends that have suffered from breast cancer and its is wonderful to know that the proceeds go to a good cause. Thank you for keeping my Galgo in style!
Sincerly,
Debbie Nelson

Hi Char
We are absolutely delighted with the new order which arrived yesterday. The collars are so exquisite, I cannot say which I like most - an absolutely stunning bunch. I
will send you some pix as soon as I get a chance to take some. But I just wanted to drop you an email quickly to say many thanks for the extra collar you slipped into
the package - it was a terrific surprise and such a kind thought. We are fostering a little black and white girl at the minute and it looks absolutely super on her.
Will let you have some pix soon.

Hello Char,
I just wanted to take a few minutes to let you know that we love your collars. My husband and I adopted Claire almost a year ago, and of the few collars we've ordered, those that we have gotten from Around The Hounds have been by far our favorites!! We are currently debating on our next collar, but I must say it's going to be tough to beat the Memoirs collar that we get so many compliments on!!!
Here is Claire wearing her Memiors collar, I am so exited to pick out our next
collar you've turned me into a collar addict!
Many thanks,
Michelle

Dear Char,
The collars arrived today and I put them on Frannie and Mr. Goodbar immediately. They are Gorgeous! Even my husband said that they were really beautiful. Thank you very
much . You really do great work.
Thank you once again,

The collars came today and they are just too beautiful for words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW. And I thought I would tell you just on time because tomorrow night theres a big adoption event down in Sarasota at Saks Fifth Avenue and it was invitation only. And my foster dog, Bob, will be the best dressed guy there. *smiles* Wait until they see him, hes going to knock their socks off.
I hope we get a lot of adoptions out of this affair too. Maybe with Bobs sparkling collar and great personality will help bring in many more applications. We have lots of dogs to place and with our track opened all year now, we are sooooo busy.
Again, I must say thank you for the collars and for all you do for the greyhounds and for charities.

Hello Wonderful People: Oh the collars arrived two days ago and I am thrilled! Just perfectly beautiful and the workmanship is outstanding. Our doggies will be dressed in their finery in 60 days and will attend our grandson's wedding reception. Can you believe they were asked to attend? We know they will receive many compliments with their new "do's". ( I will have your website available so don't be surprised should you be contacted for collars from the state of Virginia.) Wish now I had known of this and would have added one of the silver jobs for Sam to match the girls for the formal occasion. Do you have more in inventory?
Thanks again.

Char-
The Gold Vines collar has made our Junior the most beautiful greyhound in North America (in our opinion). I have never seen such wonderful craftmanship. Bless you for understanding the needs of our very sensitive skinned greys. The softness of the inner seams and the lining protect my tender boy's neck.
I will be ordering another collar very soon and sending a picture to show you how the collar matches his black eyeliner and his fur and eyes (which are both fawn color). It is as if you chose the fabic just for him!
thanks so much.

Hi Char
Spike looks very dapper in his black and white harlequin and Minx looks delicious in her heart collar. I'm hooked - I've just placed another order with you for two more collars so they have a choice!
I've had greyhounds for the last nine years and have never found anywhere that sells such a brilliant selection - I'll be spreading theword this side of the pond!
Thank you.
Best wishes

Oh my goodness........
The collars have just arrived today. What can I say. They are just FABULOUS! I've ordered greyhound collars from other suppliers before and always ended up slightly
disappointed by the quality and accuracy (collars turning up wrong size, patterns not properly lined up, not as specified etc etc). Yours are a world apart. They
are so light and so beautifully made and so carefully packed and just so utterly perfect. I simply cannot thank you enough.
We do not own a dog (yet, as we have an aged cat and both work full time). But we sponsor the work of a couple of local greyhound rehoming centres and have taken one
of their long stay dogs under our wing, walking him away from the kennels every week. These collars are a present for him, to make him look like the very special
boy that he is, and hopefully help get him noticed among a sea of other greying black dogs all competing for homes. We're taking him away for a long weekend the one after next and will get some pix of him in these fabulous new collar, then -
I'll send you copies.
I just cannot thank you enough for the care you have taken in fulfilling this order. I will never buy collars anywhere else again.

Hello Char,
Well my martingale and lead came last night. They are absolutely striking.
We were supposed to bring our little boy home on the 25th, but my breeder contacted me and said we could pick him up on Thanksgiving instead, so this worked out perfectly. I can't wait to show her your beautiful work.
Thank you!
Lorie F.
Hi Char, just wanted to let you know that I received the lead and collar yesterday. They are absolutely stunning. Thanks again for you beautiful work. I will be ordering more collars in the near future.
Gabi
Oh Char now that I am on my 3rd collar from you and my Pharaoh is 15 mths I think it's official I am an addict. I just got him the smashing pumpkins and everyone loves it on him as he matches!!! I will forward a picture for you again..you have the best Martingales I have seen and he
just thinks he looks sooo great in them.
Thank you your love shows thru in your product
Denise
Your "greyt" collar arrived yesterday and I wanted you to know how absolutely stunning and beautiful it is. You do such amazing work - such detail (the around the hounds tag), the beautiful but sturdy hardware, and the professional and perfect workmanship. Thank you so much for bringing these to the public - I'll send you a photo when I get Zora's collar "changed over" to the new one.

Kate Pearson's two collars arrived today and they are just gorgeous. They also fit
perfectly and look nice on her...the celtic one with pink and chocolate and a marine
blue one. She is a blue (grey) greyhound so each looks good.
I think the workmanship is excellent and wanted to thank you.

Hello Char:
I would love to submit this to the photo contest but it is a professional photo. This is my graduation photo from vet school. I just wanted you to know that my hounds and their collars have become famous at the UofG because this picture is on display at the photographer's booth. So many people have come up to me to tell me that the picture of my dogs is on display...forget about me! Jackson (black & white) has had more compliments than I can count about his collar. They look so beautiful in their Around the Hounds collars!
Thanks,
Andrea Finnen
Char,

"... I ended up buying the black one with the "fly"(?) insect on it for my male, Jeffery.I bought Suzie Q the Green and Gold colour one with circles on it. Both collars are silk and are very very well made.They make both my dogs look very elegant! I looked at some other ones make by another company, and they were similar, half the price but, there was not comparison to yours. I commend you on your quality and your chose of beautiful fabrics(so unique!)and claps. Good luck! I would definetly buy more collars from you in the future and will most definetly recommend your mechandise to my friends."

"I ordered a collar for my Pharaoh thru you. I love it He loves it. The most beautiful Martingale style I've ever seen. You have a greatproduct thank you for your passion to the hounds :)"
Mrs. Michelle P., Brampton, Ontario.
"Just wanted to thank you for the lovely bee collar!Its absolutely beautiful! Target.......our 3 year old male black and white hound looks wonderful in it. My husband is very impressed as am I , on the attention to detailing and the accurate stitching. Most greyhounds don't pull on a leash, but when they see an object they really want....its nice to know that the collar is holding him back 100%. I'm going to try and buy a new collar threw you every month.......I'm already cruising your website for the next one! I'm one very satisfied customer, please keep up the good work! have a "greyt" day."
