About Us

In 2003, a very unique and personalized dog collar and lead were created and handcrafted for our pups – Gypsy Rose and Buddy. The idea was born from a desire to have a personalized and dramatic collar that was different from anything that was commercially available.

We also handcrafted a leather dog collar and lead that reflected our wish to have a luxury product that was highly comfortable and durable - and one that had "interchangeable adornments". After all, once you invest in a luxury product it would be nice to be able to continue to customize it without having to re-invest in a new collar.

With their Reversible Collars and Leads, Gypsy Rose and Buddy became the center of attraction (a great way to meet new friends)! On our walks, visits to the grooming salon, and even the veterinary hospital, we were constantly asked, “where did you get those collars and leashes? I love it!”  We changed the Pup-Pup Art Buttons to fit our mood, or the holiday, and it got to the point that people made a bee-line for us when they saw us, just to see what was new on the collar and lead!

Gypsy Rose, who is an extremely secure girl (12-year old Shih Tzu, "queen of the household" and whom the world revolves around!), just felt it was a natural thing to be so adorable.  She reveled in the attention she received!

Buddy, our adopted boy (with an abused background) just smiles as he strolls (kicking his short little Shih Tzu legs as he walks) with his head held high.  He looks like the proud "Lion Dog" that he is! How can we, and people we meet, not respond and praise him? In fact, Gypsy Rose might be a little jealous because his little strut is what people respond to first.

We starting handcrafting gifts for our friend’s pooches until finally, we decided to leverage our 20+ years of sales and marketing experience (and an under utilized art degree) and founded Pup-Pup Designs!

After extensive (and exhaustive) research we have not found anything like our design on the market and in fact, we have patents pending on our designs.
