Showdogs

Show season is in full swing!



Check out this little girl from one of my shows last year. It is usually HOT this time of year, so a cool coat really helped her out.

If you show dogs, you know that the show season is now underway.  You may be making plans for attending your breed specialty or maybe you're going to shows closer to home.  No matter how you participate in dog shows, if you're attending you have a number of issues to deal with in order to be as successful as possible.





Since I make dog clothing, I can help with some of these issues. I make each item using your dog's measurements and with your input so I can most closely fit the needs of you and your dog.





Keeping your dog from overheating and feeling like a limp noodle is usually a challenge in the heat.  My cool coats, both functional and fancy




as well as cool collars, all work through evaporation to keep your dog feeling fresh and energetic. Just soak them in water and wring out the excess.




If you have a long coated dog such as an Irish Setter



or a Cavalier Spaniel, you may have grooming issues.  My slinkies and grooming suits often come in handy for keeping coats smooth and clean or taming those curls.  



And if you have a show dog, you have to have them intact, so diapers (britches or belly bands) may be needed to help manage any calls of nature that might come up.

I can customize to suit most any need so be sure to let me know what you have in mind and I can often come up with something that solves the problem.

Be sure to check out my website, www.madebyde.com, to see my current offerings.  And feel free to contact me to discuss new designs, new features, different colors, etc.  That's the beauty of custom, handmade work!




Have you ever been to a dog show?
