Las Vegas Small Business Profile: Jackie Blum, Allegro Designs Dog Wear & Accessories

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Savvy Home Pix B.1000860.LLC

Hand Stitched Heart Martingale Dog Collar - Allegro DesignsJackie Blum runs a home based web business called Allegro Designs. She designs and creates whimsical handmade dog clothes and accessories.  Her custom boutique dog collars are handcrafted and width & length can be custom ordered. 

She makes martingale, limited slip, regular tag collars and now is offering harnesses!  Some of her dog collars are hand stitched and can be personalized with your pup's name and phone number so they will never have to wear a tag again!

She has tons of different styles of fabric to please almost every dog owner's taste:  fish, dogs, bugs, frocks, sock monkeys, birds, hearts, flowers, plants, beach, paisley, stripes, sports and of course just plain solids. Just to name a few!

Jackie's passion for creating custom dog collars was born from her rescue efforts.  Jackie is a Wiseguys Italian Greyhound Rescue State Rep and an IGCA (Italian Greyhound Club of America) volunteer.  Sight hounds "slip" their collars quite often and then RUN due to the way they are built and their instincts.

Jackie goes great lengths and many times volunteers driving to places far away to pick up Italian Greyhounds in other states who need foster homes. This helps supplement the cost of rescue and fostering dogs that are in need of homes.

Jackie lives with her Fiance, Cliff and her family of sight hounds:  Maverick (Ibizan Hound), Dexter (Italian Greyhound,) and Maya (Lurcher - Sight hound mix)

When Jackie isn't busy designing new dog fashions, you can find her and her fur babies at the Dog Park!

Jackie is offering a BONUS OFFER to anyone who mentions this blog post:  $25 for Tag Collar with Embroidered Name & Phone Number (excludes shipping!)

They have said that even with the recession, people are spending on their pets.  These look like some great things for any pooch... and it helps those pooches in need.

Designer dog wear? I am going to have to see what she has for a 120 pound shepherd that does not know he is a dog. What a great business feature.

What a fun article Renee:)  And the little doggies and they're flasy get-ups are precious.  I also like Tom's comment above - now that would be fun to see an outfit for such a big dog who really isn't a dog!

Renee, this sounds like a fun business.  I'll be bookmarking your post for the next time I need to give a gift to a homeowner with a dog.

Renee,

My neighbors have a new puppy so will forward Jackie's link as I know they will love the harnesses.  I also have a client who has an Italian Greyhound called Wrigley and he is the sweetest little guy.

Best wishes

Sharon

Dog collars - there's another business I'd like to try sometime. Maybe in the dead of winter ...

Kinda cracks me up...people that dress up their animals...but they ARE children to many of us!

I had a Greyhound....we ONCE tried to put a Halloween costume on him....all it took was 1 leg and the growl that followed indicated he would not be partaking in this nonsense, and if I valued my hands, I would cease and desist immediately.

Never again did he wear a costume....a cute bandanna when he got a bath...that was it!

Great share on a local business there!
