WESTMINSTER UPDATE:
We at Alpen Schatz wanted to thank both the Organizers as well as all of the new and old Alpen Schatz  customers who visited our booth at the Westminsterd Dog show in New York in February.
  
It was our first time at this exciting event full of magnificent dogs, their owners, as well as dog lovers from around the world who came to watch. Alpen Schatz, with it's unique European Swiss, Italian and German lines was a hit to both people as well as participating dogs alike.
  
Happy Customer Westminster Dog Show

We got to meet dogs of all sizes, shapes and personalities and even breeds that we had never heard of before.
Press and PR at the Westminster Dog Show 2011

The Press were everywhere! Pre-ring leisure suite for

Afghan Hound to keep that long hair looking good!

Hits at the show were the classic SWISS collars and cowbells that we are known for as well as from the HUNTER  line: the Freestyle Rope (new on-line!), the Safari, and the luxuriously soft Elk Leather  collars and leashes.

This year's event takes place at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in southern California. The event is open to the public - whether Bernese lover or not, and we would love to welcome our Alpen Schatz California on-line customers in person on our booth at this show.

Our booth will be set-up from Tuesday through Saturday, April 5-9, 2011. This year we will have a special guest:

Domino...looks fab!

 

We came into your shop a couple of weeks ago (traveling from WA and OR) and I got a collar for my dog. Here are some snapshots of him with it! Although I was making him sit still instead of letting him play with his ball... so he had to start talking back... I've attached that one as well. hahah.

 

Hope all is well!

Jake the Swissy
Jake the Swissy with HUNTER Collar

Good afternoon!

 

This is 7 month old Seavridge's Sailor Jake of the Seven Seas... also known as Jake, wearing his new Hunter Swiss cross dog collar. We love it! He looks so cute sporting his Swiss pride! Since there are no other Swissies in the area we belong to a Bernese Mountain Dog group. I think they will also love this collar. I will be sure to let them know of your website! 

 

Thank you,

Samara and Jake!

Dear Ms. DeBriae,

 

We had a lovely walk through Telluride during our ski trip in February,2011.  We especially enjoyed our visit to your shop with all of your unique and fun items.  We purchased one of your exclusive collars for our "baby" black German Shepard, Mazzy.  The red collar is stunning on her!  I am enclosing a photo of her with it on in the bright Albuquerque spring sun for your enjoyment.  Thanks so much and we hope your year is wonderful.

 

Best wishes,

 

Stacy and Jim
