Pets Weekly Free Collars Contest

We've already agreed that your dog can never have too many collars; so I'm excited to announce Sirius Republic is sponsoring another FREE COLLAR Contest, this time hosted by Pets Weekly.

Many of you entered our Dogster Collar Contest but didn't win, so this time we're giving away 3 FREE COLLARS to 3 winners! All you have to do is show us your dog needs a new collar by posting a photo of your dog's old collar on our Facebook page. We'll choose 3 winners next Monday 9/6/2010. Winners will get a collar of their choice. Be creative, and yes multiple entries are accepted and encouraged! Click here to read Pets Weekly's review of our collars.

If you are not on Facebook, you can enter by emailing your photo to info@siriusrepublic.com and we'll post it for you :)
 

Thank you and good luck!

Helping rescue organizations help dogs

Through our Rescue Partner program, we are able to support nonprofit animal rescue organizations financially by donating a portion of our proceeds to them.
Our newest Rescue Partner - Save a Mutt Shelter & Rescue - is a nonprofit group that works to save large dogs from high-kill shelters by providing care, training, and transportation services in the Illinois and surrounding areas.

We're excited to have Save a Mutt Shelter & Rescue as our new partner and we look forward to helping this group of dedicated volunteers save more dogs.

Our Rescue Partner program works like this: when a nonprofit group signs up and becomes our Rescue Partner, we create a unique "rescue code" for them. Anyone that shops with us and enter that rescue code will help that organization earn up to 20% of the proceeds from the order. For more info, see our website.

We recently received these handmade thank you cards from summer campers at the East Bay SPCA.

Introducing Sirius Republic Martingale Collars

I'd like to introduce our own line of products: the Sirius Republic Martingale Collars! For some time now, I've been working to develop, design, and create my own products and I'm so excited that they're finall here!

Each one of these collars is completed handmade by me; so they are one-of-a-kind collars you won't see anywhere else! There are currently 3 widths (1-inch, 1 1/2-inch and 2-inch) and many elegant and whimsical designs. With prices as low as $12, your dog can afford to keep an inventory of various designs and express him/herself creatively! :) I plan to add more designs very soon, including various themed collars such as holidays.

In other great news, we now offer FREE SHIPPING ON EVERY ORDER placed in the U.S.A.

Lovin' My "Devil Dog"

Recently some friends of ours who are also proud owners of Doberman Pinschers have successfully trained, participated and passed the Working Aptitude Evaluation (WAE). Hosted by Doberman Pinshcer Club of American (DPCA), the purpose of the test is to evaluate the overall temperment of the dog according to its breed standard. Some parts of the test include having the dog meet "neutral", "friendly", and "mean" strangers, as well as encounter "gun shots".

We read about the origin of this test on the DPCA website and subsequently learned about Doberman Pinschers' vital and brave role in the history of war and the US Marine Corp. During WWII, the DPCA recruited Doberman Pinschers across the country to serve in various roles in the war. As the US Marine Corp's breed of choice, the Doberman Pinschers went through intensive training, assisted their handlers by performing various tasks, and developed thicker than blood bonds with their human companions. Many returned as heros while others perished on the battleground. The official combat dog of the US Marine Corp, the "Devil Dogs" as they have been lovingly branded, the courageous and intelligent Dobes will always be celebrated, cherished and honored, especially by me, a proud Dobe fan for life!
