Tobibody "BigDog" Schultz, CEO - 1998-2007 Pup'parel
|
At Pup'parel, we LOVE dogs! In fact, the executive staff of Pup'parel is comprised of 6 mixed breed dogs, one Pit Bull and one American Eskimo! The human workers report to and cater to the desires and whims of our executive staff!
While learning agility, our executives discovered that there is a VERY limited amount of fun, reasonably priced apparel & products available geared toward their favorite sport with their people.... and since their humans were already in the business of creating custom embroidered apparel via Darnigold Forest Custom Embroidery, the idea for "Pup'parel" was born! And, while they were at it, they thought it might be fun to offer some "non-agility" products as well -- these products, specifically patches and vests for service animals quickly became the foundation of our little business.
We have 5 new humans on the Pup'team .... Jessica, to help with production, Joe, will be taking care of facility stuff, and Melanie and Jo will be doing marketing, and Debbie will be helping with production and helping to grow local sales in our new Somerset, KY location. These new folks will help us to process orders faster, commuicate better, and ensure that everything is running smoothly! You might have noticed that our human workers don't have titles... that's because our executive team is comprised completely of dogs, from Razzy our CFO (Chief Food Officier) to Bozie our Shop Floor Manager, Xamidoo the Director of Marketing, and Snowball the Executive Secretary. It's the Pup'parel pups that run the show ... the humans, (including Lisa, the Pup'mom) all serve this canine executive team as equals.
Additionally, because we whole-heartedly believe in humane education and rescue, Pup'parel will donate a full 10% of your purchase price to the dog-related non-profit group of your choice. If you don't specify a "favorite", twice each year, Razzy does a drawing for "Razzy's Choice" -- the winner gets the "unspecified funds" for the previous half-year.
