Who is Ginger Bear?

Ginger Bear is my little Yorkie and the muse for my products. I had originally wanted to learn how to sew so I could make quilts. Upon making my first quilt, I realized that I did not like quilting and never finsihed it. So I started making pillows for two dogs, a boxer named Ruby and a Doberman mix named Penny. Ruby and Penny loved their pillows, and Ruby frequently carried one of the pillows around by a corner. At that time Ginger was just a little tiny new born. Ginger was one of five in the first litter from my sister-n-law’s Yorkies. I was able to see her grow and develop her own personality and I eagerly waited for her to become part of our family.

Ginger Bear became a natural nickname for her. Though I am not quite sure when I first started calling her Ginger Bear, the name sure fits. Ginger may be a small dog, but she sure has a large personality. Ruby and Penny are much larger than her and she has no problem playing or wrestling with them. And she can certainly hold her own.

I went to every pet store I knew and could not find a bed that I thought was as unique and as fun as her personality, so I made my own. And that is how all this got started. All of my first beds where the ones that can be found in my store as the plush pillow cover beds. The sherpa (imitation sheepskin) tops were warm, fluffy, and my dogs loved them! My dogs accumulated a few beds so I started making the beds for friends and family who had pets, both cats and dogs.

I soon expanded and started making collars, leashes, different kinds of beds and most recently apparel. I love shopping for fabric and making new items out of it. It is because of this little shopping “passion” that I frequently add new items to my store. Also, if there is something you have in mind and I don’t have it, I will do my best to find it!

I can also do custom collar sizes. If there is a particular length you want but a different width, no problem!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. I strive to have great products and a full store, communication is a key factor to that, so I will respond to you in a very timely manner.

My sister-n-law, from whom I got Ginger Bear, is the mastermind behind Beez Bows. All her bows are very beautiful and of high quality. I should know! Ginger is very good at testing their durability. Please visit her store; I know you will love her bows! (All the bows you see on Ginger Bear in the above pictures were made by Beez Bows.)
