Now up to 111 breeds of dog at each event...

[Iguanadon]

In today's episode of "Why Does Scott Take 110 Breeds of Dog to Every Event?"... Yesterday I sold 13 puzzles and 4 leash holders. Of the 13 puzzles, 9 of them were dogs, and 4 of them were the "less popular breeds" but because I had them on hand, they were virtually a guaranteed sale as dog owners go crazy when you have their unusual breed as they never see them anywhere else. Some weeks I may not sell any oddballs, but over the course of a season it adds up to dozens of extra sales.

And I got asked for one I didn't have (which is rare) but next week I'll have 111 breeds with me when I add the Keeshond to my herd.

Scott,

Yes, we love our dogs.  They attach themselves to us and are uncompromising in their love for us.  

You look like you are the master of the dog patterns, they look very good.  

Ours are now departed but ...  The last 2 were Maltese.  I have looked for patterns for them but have not seen anything that appealed.  Do you have patterns for Maltese?

Hi Thurman, yes, here is the Maltese, however it is a bit "fru-fru".  Harvey's only point of reference was the World Book Encyclopedia of Dogs and they are all show dogs.

Thanks Scott/Iggy,

That is better than most patterns I have seen for Maltese.  They are beautiful dogs but it is difficult to get that into a scrollsaw pattern.

The reason I don't do identifiable breeds when I do Dog related stuff. I made a leash holder for sale once and the number of people who said "I'd buy that if it had a ???? on it.
I'll stick to cats

The rare breeds are the ones I sell most of.. I have some of the more popular breeds and rarely sell one, probably because hundreds of others selling the same ones much lower priced.. I think when people start making these they go after the patterns of what they think are the most popular breeds.. which is what everyone is making, LOL
