Exhausted last night and didn’t have more than three semi-functional brain cells to do anything useful with…
.but after a glass of wine I stumbled on a lockjaw snap I didn’t know I still had, so made a new trial leash with a strap of Hermann Oak burgundy latigo and purple Ritza Tiger thread accents 🤩

03/05/2026

Well it’s taken a couple of months of picking away at this pile of toys, but next batch is up for grabs! Not sure when I will have more available as I’m limited on time, so if you’re on the fence don’t miss out this time! All handmade from cutting down to individually punching the holes and hand stitching, with the same premium full grain leather and Ritza Tiger Thread I’ve used for duffle bags; you won’t find other leather toys of this quality on the market. That’s mostly because these aren’t profitable considering the supplies and time needed, but I just like making them to keep my hands busy 😂

8” Crack Rolls - sold
Armpit tugs - sold
Flat leather tugs - sold
ChuckIt Fetch Med balls on sure-grip - sold

Ruffland composite door accessories:
Educator (round) holder/pail hook - $20
Pail hook only - $10
Dogtra 1900s holder/pail hook - $20

As of right now still unfortunately only shipping within Canada, local pickup, or grab from me at a trial/event.

These have been sitting on my bench (AKA one of my “doom piles”) for a few months, but finally had a chance to finish them up last night!

Quill and Newt both graciously donated their paw prints in exchange for a breakfast in lieu of other training over the weekend 🐾

This was a really nice and interesting leather for the body, and they’re fully lined with super soft black pigskin. Every part is handmade and stitched aside from the rubber soles, which are a nice wider set of Vibram outsoles I was able to find online.

Not leather, but here’s something I tinkered up for a friend and can easily make more!

Ruffland door attachments that hold your e-collar transmitter and collar on the front, and a water pail on the back 🤯

I’ve made models to fit either Educator ET-300 transmitters, or Dogtra 1900S transmitters (assuming it would also fit the ARC as they look identical).

These fit on the composite Ruffland doors, and can be put on/taken off within seconds. Please refer to the poorly taken video of me balancing the phone on my coat to try and show it 😂

I also made a pail hook only version that’s flat on the front.

E-collar holder with pail hook on the back - $20cad
Pail hook only - $10cad

I also made the same type of pail hooks for Gunner Kennels - $10

Colour options: black, light grey marble, white

Unfortunately still no shipping right now to the USA 😞

Message me to get one 😊

A HUGE thank you to Hank of Bowden Transport for his generous sponsorship of the 2026 GSSCC Nationals tracking flags 🥂

If you needed motivation to train and qualify for Nationals next year, this is it!

Got some GORGEOUS Ritza Tiger thread in my favourite purple…
.so obviously had to remake Quill and Newt’s tag collars, a 4’ trial leash, and two 6’ walking leashes in my favourite leather because I can’t help myself 🤣

***SPOKEN FOR***

Made up this STURDY agitation collar a few months ago when I had time, and it’s looking for a home now that I’ve remembered I made it 😂

This thing is hand stitched the whole way around, with a big and easy to hold handle. You won’t find a commercially available leather one of this quality, and I don’t currently plan to make more as they’re a lot more involved to make than meets the eye.

1.75” wide, neck 17.5-22” (so best fit in the middle of the range), solid brass hardware.

***ALL GONE!***

MORE CRACK ROLLS!

Finished up making another batch of the unofficial “Dog’s Choice Awards - Best Toy Ever” crack rolls.

Limited number, and made some different sizes this time with open handles to make play even easier in more applications.

I have four of each of the following sizes:

10” - $55cad (ALL GONE)
8” - $50cad (ALL GONE)
6” - $45cad (ALL GONE)

***NOTE: right now shipping to the US looks like a bit of a nightmare, so I will be offering these on a priority to in-person or shipping within Canada. I can bring to our Oneida WDC club trial this upcoming weekend, and anything I have left after that point I may consider figuring out the new US shipping intricacies.

Our club is co-hosting the 2026 GSSCC Nationals next year, and I may have jumped just a *smidge* ahead of schedule with getting some things ready…

It may be just shy of a year away, but we’re very excited to announce our first SPONSORSHIP opportunity that is likely to be the coolest sponsorship option we’ll have up for grabs. Because they take me a bit of time to make, I wanted to get these done up well ahead of time, hence the early ask.

Trophies only get to go home with the winners, but EVERY entered IGP competitor, tracklayer, and judge will be taking one of these bad boys home. That means your sponsorship info on the back of these flags will be going home with people across all of Canada and internationally, and will continue on as well loved tracking flags and cherished keepsakes.

We are looking for a sponsor to cover the costs of making 40 of these, at $10 each, for a grand total of $400 CAD. Your name, saying and/or logo will be on the back of every flag used in the competition.

Please reach out to me through this page (or on my personal FB page if I have you on there) if you’re interested in sponsoring the flags; if you miss out on this chance, we’ll have lots of other sponsorship opportunities arise over the coming months 😉

***ALL SPOKEN FOR***

Due to popular request, and also enough time passing that I forgot how much work these take, I have a small handful of gorgeous trial leashes available!

4’ long, 1/2” wide, solid brass hardware with an o-ring in the handle, and hand punched/stitched the entire length of the leash with Ritza Tiger thread.

Two in Hermann Oak Old World Harness (one black thread, one white thread); the two on the farthest right of the group shot.

Two in Wickett & Craig English Bridle Tan (one brown thread, one white thread); the two on the farthest left of the group shot.

Two in Wickett & Craig English Bridle Saddle Brown (one brown thread, one white thread); third and fourth from the left in the group shot.
