Our History
The beginning of The Pet Tailor
The ”Pet Tailor” was founded by Kay after 15 years working in the Pet Industry. Her jobs ranged from part time to full time help, from assistant to management. Her places of employment included; Boarding Kennels, Pet shop, Feed store, Photography Studio, Grooming Salon, and Veterinary Hospitals. She spent over 20 years Showing and Breeding AKC Champion Afghan Hounds under the “Abba” banner.
The Farm was purchased in 1987 for the active Afghan hound needs. In 1988 a Horse, Donkey, Sheep and then naturally a Herding dog were added.
In 1989 the Pet Tailor was established out of the growing need for a Pet Groomer in the area. Demand for Boarding came next, so the Breeding kennel in the lower part of our home was converted into a Boarding kennel and has been expanded as the demand increased.
Kay has retired from Breeding and Showing but continues to devote her attention to maintaining and improving the care of visitors at the Pet Tailor facility.
The Pet Tailor has now been in business for 17 years and Kay now has over 30 years of experience to offer her clients.
Over the last few years there has been many improvements to the facility including a new Cattery building, a new Club House building with 12 more in/out dog runs and three new play yards.
You can read more information and see pictures showing what has been done "Construction" page.
