A couple of months ago, my sister acquired a Catahoula puppy. The vet estimated the age of the pup at about six – seven months. Unfortunately, the puppy is more than my sister can handle at her age (80). She has asked If I can help her place the dog.

Last month and I went to her house for about four days for a visit and to try to help her out.
The puppy is eager, attentive, affectionate, socialized, very high drive, and has tons of play drive. She will chase a ball, or a frisbee, and she loves to play tug. She has been spayed and is up to date with vaccinations.

I believe that this dog would make someone a very good working dog... or fly-ball dog... or...

If you know of anyone who might be willing and able to give this dog a good home, please contact me as soon as possible.

Well, it has finally happened. After months (years?) of promising, the new website is up and running.

https://k9noz.com/
Is Now Live!!


Personally, I think it is fabulous! A huge debt of gratitude goes out to Julia@jelly graphics for her beautiful work on my website.

For those folks who know what they want, and for those folks who are ready to order, this makes the process quick, easy, and relatively painless. I now take credit cards because I have given up on taking Nubian goats and firstborn children. The postage there was absolutely killing me.

Of course, if you have questions or if you have items that you want made that do not appear on my website, I am still available by phone and by email.

If you were one of the people who sent me photos or testimonials, check out the website. You will may find it there.

You will notice that there are products, clips, colors, and sizes that did not appear on my original website. The original website was very old and out of date. Hopefully, this one will stay updated regularly.

Please check out the website, and if you see anything that is confusing, wrong, or could be done better, please send me an email or comment below. If you have suggestions please let me know. Many of the best ideas I have implemented came directly from my clients. As my mother once said, "two heads are better than one". As someone else once said "sometimes it takes a village".

Stay safe out there, and give the dog a scratch behind the ear for me.

Inspect your Gear
While we are on the topic of clips, would like to take this opportunity to remind all of you to inspect your equipment with some frequency. It does eventually wear out. Over the years I have received some equipment back for evaluation and repair. Occasionally I received something that has severe wear. Often, it is less expensive to replace the clip than to replace the line.

It is not just the hardware that you have issues. Over the years I have seen biothane that has been chewed, cut, and on rare occasions abraded. This can affect the strength of your line. You have a question, send me a picture of your line and I will give you my opinion.

I am always eager to know how and why my products wear. I use all of my products, and where ever I can, I improve them. I find that my clients are my best source of suggestions for how this may be accomplished. I value your knowledge your experience.
If you have issues with a product, I want to know about it. I need to know the where, when, why, and any other information that you may have so that I can continue to improve what I make and sell.

LOCKJAW CLIPS ARE BACK!!!
For some years now, I have been saying that the original manufacturer of lockjaw clips and told me that this was a dead product. Either I was misinformed, I misunderstood, or something else.
At any rate, I was wrong.
I now have a source of the original Lockjaw clips, from the original manufacturer in Italy, with the original alloy. I received 14 of these for evaluation and, I am happy to say that I will be offering these as an option on your leashes effective immediately.

My previous supplier indicated that he was facing a major price increase but had decided not to have the product made for him anymore. With my current supplier, I will not have to increase prices at all. I was charging eight dollars to put one on your leash or long line and it looks like at least for the present, I will be able to maintain that price.

I received a small shipment late last week, and I expect a larger shipment in about two weeks.
