2023 saw the completion of 27 leads and 11 collars while working full time, participating in a variety of dog sports with my own crew, and while completing five 3-credit graduate courses. Thank you to my amazing customers for the support (and the patience)!

Ringleader Roo leads brought home countless new champion titles, several top rankings, multiple NOHS and regular group placements, an NOHS BIS, a couple of best in specialty show wins, and a best in show b*tch record this year! I’m absolutely blown away.

Here’s to 2024! I’m wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year!

An addendum to yesterday’s post: if you are on my existing waitlist and were wanting a lead as a gift for Christmas, I would be happy to send a complimentary gift certificate in its place.

Final project for the final class SUBMITTED! ✅
A big giant ✨THANK YOU ✨to my amazing customers and friends for your patience as I took on the challenge of 5 graduate courses over the last 6 months!! It is not lost on me the significant impact this endeavor has had on my ability to complete orders and meet your expectations.

⁉️SO NOW WHAT⁉️
My free time can return to braiding time! 🎉

My waitlist will remain temporarily closed until I have a chance to catch up on existing orders which will hopefully be sometime in 2024. All existing waitlist orders will be honored (completion in 2023 not guaranteed) before it is reopened.

As I’ve said in the past, I want to underpromise and overdeliver, and I have not been able achieve that to my standards this year with my other commitments.

If we have not already been in communication to design your lead (choose leather, spacers, etc), it will likely be early 2024 *at the soonest*. If you are already on the waitlist with or without beads reserved and do not want to wait, I completely understand. Please just let me know! If you have beads reserved and would like to purchase them to be shipped to you or another artist, please send me a message.

If you would like to explore the availability of other artists, I highly recommend those linked in the first pinned post at the top of the Ringleader Roo page.

❤️🎪 Thank you again for your patience and understanding and for making this the most successful year yet for the Ringleader Roo family!
